Not sure where else to take this but I thought you might be interested =
in it, though possibly more in a "we don't need this you heretic" type =

Ah yes I'd forgotten about that.  Not quite the same as supermasters is =
only for provisioning slaves whereas servezones can provision both =
masters and slaves.  Also, if I remember rightly, supermasters can only =
add zones and not remove them whereas servezones can do both.

Check out the draft - you'll be surprised at how short and neat it is.

thanks

True, but with a simple hack that could be added too (a SOA with all
0's).

Yes, I did. What I'm saying is that something like this already exists
and it didn't need to protocol change/addition, there is some elegance
in that.

IMO you should at least mention it [supermasters] and make a case for your =
proposal?

This appears to burn a opcode for no good reason.

UPDATE w/ a EDNS option say "NEWZONE" could replace the master side
of this w/o burning a opcode.

NOTIFY w/ type NS could replace the slave side of this w/o burning
a opcode.

The FQDN restrictions.  Do they apply to rdata or not?

It's not as simple as that:

I like the general idea that certain masters have more authority, =

So can only one zone be specified or are the RRs in the UPDATE now taken =

Again all this does is generate a list of questions.

It's only a 4 bit space.

I can think of a couple of ways to do this using notify/update/edns.

You apply them as normal to a empty zone if it doesn't already
exist otherwise you apply them to the zone.

Actually it is pretty trivial if all you want to do is tell a server
to start/stop serving a zone.  The hard part is all the metadata that
is associated with serving a zone and making that generic enough to
be useful in a multi-vendor way.

One every 16 years gives us 192 years until we exhaust even 4 bits.

If it's trivial then it would be great if you could write it up and we =
can compare.  I'm not stuck on servezones if there is a better =
alternative.

	There were a couple of efforts to address this I believe, including NSCP.

There are plenty to spare, so burn away.

That said, it would be prudent to define just one opcode covering server =
"management" in general -- ie start/stop doing something -- and maybe =
another for provisioning. There be rat-holes...

Both of these are very bad ideas because they change the behaviour and =
semantics of an already widely deployed part of the DNS protocol.

How does it break the sematics of UPDATE?

server 1.2.3.4
newzone example.net
update add example.net 3600 SOA ...
update add example.net 3600 NS ...
update add example.net 3600 NS ...
update add example.net 3600 A ...
send

The only difference is you don't get NOTAUTH as a rcode if you tell the
server to create the zone.

It would be about 10 minutes work to add this to named.

Presumably because people are not looking for the new EDNS code in their =
existing code and its existence changes the way the data is interpreted, =
so the behaviour of existing code could vary.

Taking the above strawman example, how would the server at 1.2.3.4 =
signal to the client that although it speaks UPDATE, it doesn't do this =
new-fangled "newzone" featurette? For instance because the server =
doesn't understand this weird UPDATE message or has no code to support =
that or because it won't/can't allow new zones to be added on the fly, =
say for policy reasons or file system permissions?

Also, consider backwards compatibility. The installed base won't know to =
interpret your UPDATE message with extra newzone EDNS secret sauce. =
They'd just see a regular UPDATE with some EDNS goop that makes no sense =
to them. Would they (a) reject the request outright (FORMERR? NOTIMP?); =
(b) try to process the "vanilla" part of that UPDATE message and ignore =
the EDNS stuff?

Maybe you'd need to burn an error code or two here... :-)

The above are rehotorical questions BTW: there's no need to answer them.

FYI, in terms of efforts, there's also the approach taken in Yadifa:
https://ripe66.ripe.net/presentations/207-YADIFA-RIEP66-DynamicProvisioning-pres.pdf

IIRC, there were also some other proposals in the style of the old
metazones idea back then (and i recall one floating around based on a
class instead of an opcode).

AFAIK, NSCP hasn't had any action since it got kicked back to dnsop,
lots of people want it, noone wants to work on it, and perhaps it is
also overshooting the goals people have.

BTW, The nscp mailing list wasn't used in the end, but it never did get
cleaned up. So if there is gonna be a bigger effort than 'just' adding
and removing zones, perhaps we can try again.

PS I ran out of initialisms to start my sentences with.

It would return NOTAUTH if it didn't understand the EDNS option and
didn't have the zone.  It had the zone it would "add" the records
which in most cases would be a no-op.  If you add "prereq nxdomain
<zone>" to the above none of the adds would take with a existing
zone.

If you don't allow adding new zones you return REFUSED.  Filesystem
problems are no different to not being able to create a journal,
you get SERVFAIL.

There's an implementation that works with multiple nameservers, right?

I don't remember how polished it was, but I remember it being good =
enough for Sara to be able to do live demos from the stage at RIPE =
meetings. Even considering Sara's nerves of steel, that suggests it =
works well enough :-)

Wow.  So this uses DNS UPDATE syntax with a new CLASS to identify itself =
and a whole set of TYPES have been redefined to be interpreted as =
provisioning/control instructions.

As a general comment, while the YADIFA implementation is clever I for =
one don't agree that it is appropriate to add so much =
provisioning/control into DNS.  Adding/removing zones is an obvious, =
glaring gap but everything else belongs in an out-of-band protocol like =
NSCP. =20

I say that because we know that DNS server/service providers are =
continually innovating their feature set.  That's how they differentiate =
themselves now that DNS servers are commodities.  If all of the =
provisioning/control is baked into the DNS protocol then it gets very =
messy when people wish to add proprietary features.  An out-of band =
protocol with support for extensions, similar to EPP, provides a much =
better way to support this innovation.

AFAICT NSCP was just ahead of its time and the depth of features that it =
has now matches pretty well the depth of features that people are =
implementing, for example as in YADIFA above.  If anything that just =
proves how good an idea NSCP was *cough* and what benefits we would all =
now be accruing had it been agreed as an RFC some years ago.

Apologies to those of you who have already seen this on dnsop.


A new version of I-D, draft-daley-dnsxml-00.txt
has been successfully submitted by Jay Daley and posted to the
IETF repository.

Filename:	 draft-daley-dnsxml
Revision:	 00
Title:		 dnsxml - A standard XML representation of DNS data
Creation date:	 2013-07-31
Group:		 Individual Submission
Number of pages: 54
URL:             =

Htmlized:        http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-daley-dnsxml-00


Abstract:
 This memo describes a syntax for encoding DNS Resource Records in
 XML, and a schema to define that syntax written in XML Schema.  It
 can be used to represent all DNS RDATA.  This can be used by diverse
 applications as a common format.

 DNS Resource Records are represented as XML elements with the name of
 the element taken from the mnemonic used to represent the DNS
 Resource Record in presentation format.  The RDATA is represented as
 XML attributes or content of the element.  The attribute names are
 taken from the RDATA field names specified in the normative RFC.

Could be. I've thought a bit about that over the years, and that's =
probably the best explanation.

Yes - we produced an implementation of NSCP a while back which supports =
BIND 9 and NSD 3 but is now stuck at beta because a) the funding ran out =
(billable work got in the way) and b) we didn't ever get anyone =
interested in testing it in anger. We have version 3 of the draft (based =
on the working implementation) that is 95% done, just stalled at final =
review as these things tend to do......

Technically the issues we faced with the implementation were:
- We chose to use NETCONF/ Yang which had some limitations. At the time =
there was only one Open Source implementation of NETCONF (Yuma) which =
was missing a couple of key features.
-  NETCONF assumes that devices have an API available to dynamically =
update single elements of the configuration. This didn't play so nicely =
with nameservers that need to reload the entire config to pick up any =
change...
- the NETCONF/ Yang model assumes that there is a nice clear base =
control protocol which every device (nameserver) implements. Then =
everything else is treated as an optional extension. When you try to =
implement this for nameservers (even just the the two we implemented) =
your base model turns out to be tiny since each nameserver does even the =
most basic things in different enough ways to make a common model =
tricky.=20

I believe there was some work done by BIND10, KNOT and others to try to =
align their remote control protocols but I don't know the details.

We would be interested in revisiting, updating the code and ID if there =
is any interest on the dnsop list.

regards
John

If, however, you have an opinion about the deprecation of RTYPE 99
use, I'd appreciate it if you'd at least read the archives about how
the decision was made (no brickbats for David, who clearly did that
reading).  I seem to recall trying to get some interest in that
discussion back when it was happening, and nobody came.  Showing up
now with an opinion but not having read the arguments might not get a
friendly reception from Pete Resnick, the responsible AD.

Best,

The problem is that people like me feel we have already stated our view, =

I.e.  the question is a fundamental architectural question on the DNS. =
Should we use different or same RR Types.

If we should use TXT and overload that RR, and IAB accepts that (even if =
IAB has written a document on Choices with DNS (which I was a co-author =
of), well, then lets do that fully, for everything.

I should btw also solve the problem with A+AAAA queries.

If we deprecate 99, we should also deprecate both A and AAAA and reuse =
TXT instead. That would make deployment of IPv6 easier. :-)

Yes, I think the discussion is that silly, and because of that I have =

P.S. Even their use of the TXT is silly, as they have first of all an =

use the first of the fields, or if there is more than one, concatenate =
them. After that they have an algorithm on how to extract separate =
fields out of that one field (where they already removed the field =
separators). The silliness does not stop...it just goes on and on and =

Indeed. And because it was evident that no headway was being made by
either side, some of us (me, at least) just sat out.  I read through
all of the arguments as they were happening.  I appreciate the tension
between easy pragmatism and clean design and thought that, amidst the
usual snarking, good points were made on both sides.  Personally, I
support continued migration from TXT to SPF, but openly acknowledge
that was the bias I had when the issue first arose, and the debate
didn't change my mind either.

I didn't contribute then because I didn't think there were any useful
additional points to be made.  I'm wondering now why I'm even writing
this message, because it too doesn't contribute much useful to the
discussion.  Maybe on some level it is useful to hear ongoing
frustration that the process of the Internet Engineering Task Force
does not produce good engineering.  On the other hand I have little
doubt that some people reading this think the preceding sentence is
just sour grapes from ending up on the losing side of the debate and
they think the engineering is just fine.

Net result: some of us give up before we even start.

	interestingly, we find here in the DNS, the problem of multiplexing.

	which has been considered a very poor choice for decades.

	outside the DNS, we have IP address multiplexing and port multiplexing,
	as ways to extend the lifetime of the IPv4 space, (NAT, CGN, ad nausea)...

	so its clear that parts of the community -really- want to do things the

	Admiral Ackbar said it best.

	That out of the way, apparently the IAB has no problems documenting use/practice.

	So there are two varients,  16 and 99.  Fine.  

	If I were to recommend any further action, it would be to insist that all SPF
	ID's/RFC's carry some boilerplate text along the lines of:

	"Type 16 (TXT) stores arbitrary text in a DNS record. Since the early 1990s, 
        this record often carries protocol specific  data, such as specified by RFC 1464, 
        opportunistic encryption, Sender Policy Framework, DKIM, DMARC, DNS-SD, etc. 
	Applications which use type 16 instead of their own RR type MUST NOT presume
	that only thier data structures are present.  They SHOULD use application specific
	RR types when available."

Probably stupid question:

I assume that a key reason for some part of the community preferring TXT
records is that they allow to quickly adopt them because it is possible to
configure them on any existing DNS server. Are there any examples of DNS
servers that allow to define new RR types and some value encoding - without 
having to wait for a software upgrade of the DNS server software. Likewise,
are the DNS client APIs where the apps can leverage new RR types unknown at
the time the client SDK was written.

Cheers

 Steve Hotz and I designed and built a DNS server platform that supported loadable
 DNS attributes including RR types.  I don't know of any production systems that support
 that however.

I think that is a gross caricature of what the proponents of
deprecation have argued.  It's easy to knock down a straw person.

The argument is instead that the overwhelming majority of actual
deployed uses are either using TXT or are using both TXT and SPF.
Virtually nobody is using SPF only.  Therefore, regardless of what
4408bis said, it would have to continue to support TXT.  If it were
altered to require SPF lookup first, then it would, at day 1,
immediately impose almost totally useless query load for every SPF
attempt.  If it were altered to require TXT lookup first, then there
would be no reason at all ever to move to the SPF type.  Moreover,
either strategy would require additional complexity (the fallback
rules) for SPF validators, and it would require additional
specification of what a server was supposed to do in the case where
the TXT record and the SPF record didn't agree; this would make the
specification more complex, too.

For all those reasons, it seemed to the WG that the dual-RRTYPE
strategy that was used for SPF was a mistake, and that it should be
removed.  This is not a precedent or a general engineering point
(unless you mean the more general point that the IETF and IAB ought to
work hard and convincing people not to use unscoped TXT records for
application data (i.e. without an underscore label) even during
prototyping.  But the IAB has already published that advice).

> If we deprecate 99, we should also deprecate both A and AAAA and reuse TXT instead. That would make deployment of IPv6 easier. :-)

This doesn't follow, because it's merely a contingent fact that SPF
was originally developed using the TXT record at the target name.
People no longer do that, unless they're named "Google", it seems.

Sure.  But the plain fact is that this protocol, with all its
stupidity and weaknesses, is widely deployed on the Internet.  Indeed,
there's a case to be made that it is at least as successful as DNSSEC
and more successful than IPv6.  For that reason, it seems churlish not
to standardize it.

Best,

A

    Indeed. And because it was evident that no headway was being made by
    either side, some of us (me, at least) just sat out.  I read through
    all of the arguments as they were happening.  I appreciate the tension
    between easy pragmatism and clean design and thought that, amidst the
    usual snarking, good points were made on both sides.  Personally, I
    support continued migration from TXT to SPF, but openly acknowledge
    that was the bias I had when the issue first arose, and the debate
    didn't change my mind either.
    
    I didn't contribute then because I didn't think there were any useful
    additional points to be made.  I'm wondering now why I'm even writing
    this message, because it too doesn't contribute much useful to the
    discussion.  Maybe on some level it is useful to hear ongoing
    frustration that the process of the Internet Engineering Task Force
    does not produce good engineering.  On the other hand I have little
    doubt that some people reading this think the preceding sentence is
    just sour grapes from ending up on the losing side of the debate and
    they think the engineering is just fine.
    
    Net result: some of us give up before we even start.

Yes. I'm one of those.

Yes, including BIND9 which is probably the most widely-deployed DNS =

But my vague recollection is that this is not supported by Microsoft's =
DNS server implementation on Windows, and since many Windows environment =

TXT was a pragmatic path forward.

RFC 3597 may be worth a look if you are interested.

Probably worth noting, too, that *LOTS* of people interact with DNS through
webhost control panels; those, too, would have to accept as valid a new
record type: if it's not on the pull-down menu, you can't add it.

Yes.  Named has supported unknown records for over a decade now.

All the tools that ship with named support unknown records.  The
only reason there wasn't support earlier is that there wasn't a
agreeded apon master file format.

B.T.W. people have added private types to named in the past. Any
semi competant C programmer can.  Named was designed to make adding
new types easy.  You don't even need to fiddle with Makefiles.  Just
add the .c and .h files that describe how to parse and print the
text format and wire formats.  There is plenty of example code
with all the other types.

As for adding SPF to named it was:

cp lib/dns/rdata/generic/txt_16.c lib/dns/rdata/generic/spf_99.c
cp lib/dns/rdata/generic/txt_16.h lib/dns/rdata/generic/spf_99.h

change all the "txt" to "spf" in the method names.
change all the type checks to 99 instead of 16.

make clean; make; make install

Once that was done all the tools supported SPF. dig, host, nslookup,
nsupdate, dnssec-signzone etc.

Libresolv/libbind written in the 1980's supported unknown types.
It is still shipped with unix based systems.  Unfortunately that
doesn't help because unless you have the mnemonic in a header
file people won't use it.

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00645.html

	n = res_query(name, C_IN, 99, buf, sizeof(buf));

was all that was needed for unix / linux machines to make SPF lookup
but that wasn't enough. 

The libraries named is currently built upon support unknown query
types.

Support for looking up unknown types in resolvers libraries was a
requirement of RFC 1034.

As far as I can tell, the views that you state below (and I don't 
remember views stated earlier) have *nothing* to do with the deprecation 
of RR 99 issue. What you are saying is that the original use of TXT was 
wrong. I probably agree with that, but that's not relevant to the 
current discussion. The question is whether the deprecation of 99 is 
appropriate, and if not what the document should do instead.

I have not heard that argument being used, and certainly have not heard 
that this is what the chairs have based their call of consensus on. If 
you have examples of messages where this was the basis for the 
deprecation, I would like pointers to those messages.

Again, that is not the argument. There is vast agreement that using a 
new RR and not overloading TXT is the better architectural decision.

The question is about a currently deployed protocol. It is using TXT 
records. It was written into an Experimental RFC quite some time ago 
that it should transition to SPF records. It provided a transition plan 
that, in practice, has failed to date. In fact, the transition plan 
introduced an interoperability problem. So the question is how to 
address that. There were several choices:

- Let the transition plan run longer; it will work in the end
- Fix the transition plan to a use a different algorithm and let that 
run for a while
- Declare a flag day and say that TXT is no longer supported by the protocol
- Declare failure of the transition and say that SPF is no longer 
supported by the protocol

Each of these (well, maybe except the 3rd one) was seriously considered 
and discussed in the WG. The arguments used to defend the first two were 
not convincing to the WG. The third was a non-starter. They landed on 
the last choice.

If you have a more convincing case for any of the above, you should be 
stating it. If you have an proposal that hasn't been heard, you should 
be stating it. But going back to first principles and saying the 
protocol should not have used TXT in the first place is not helpful to 
me or the chairs figuring out the consensus. I'm happy to grant that TXT 
should not have been used in the first place; so what? What does that 
tell me about what should be done now with a deployed base?

> If we should use TXT and overload that RR, and IAB accepts that (even if IAB has written a document on Choices with DNS (which I was a co-author of), well, then lets do that fully, for everything.

OK, we should not use TXT and overload it from now on. What do we do now 
with this protocol?

The A/AAAA discussion is silly, but it's because it has nothing to do 
with the question on the table. The question on the table regards what 
to do with the currently deployed protocol that made a poor decision 
some time ago (and one that would likely not have to be made today 
because the ecosystem is different). What should be done *in that protocol*?

(The idea is not to "win" or "lose" the argument; this is not a debating 
society. The idea is to explain and convince people who have made an 
error in a technical choice. You seem to believe that the wrong 
technical choice was made by this WG. What was that error and why should 
they have chosen something different?)

I did some tests on Windows 2008 (R2) in 2009 or 2010 and found that the
Microsoft server does support RFC 3597 for zones loaded from a master
(by zonetransfer) or from a masterfile, but there is no way to add or
edit the data through the GUI (if is however possible to add the records
to a plain text DNS master file using a text editor, if I remember
correctly). I haven't tested zones stored in Active Directory.

Absolutely understood, as all examples in for example the RFC in =
question is using TXT (except one, that show how to handle the case when =
using TXT and SPF).

And the fact people use both TXT and SPF is to me an indication the =
migration plan works, and that the fix should be to clarify how to =
continue that migration given that we have what I would call an unclear =
paragraph exists in the original RFC.

YMMV, which is obvious, as the consensus in the wg is to deprecate SPF =
RR Type according to the wg chair. Otherwise there should not be this =
I-D on the table.

The consensus related to how to fix RFC 4408 will be very rough. That is =
clear. And I feel sorry for responsible AD and IESG to be forced to make =
a decision that such a large rough part of the rough consensus will not =
be happy with. Regardless of what the decision will be.


An architectural correct solution is to change:

OLD:

   An SPF-compliant domain name SHOULD have SPF records of both RR
   types.  A compliant domain name MUST have a record of at least one
   type.  If a domain has records of both types, they MUST have
   identical content.

NEW:

   An SPF-compliant domain name SHOULD have SPF records of both RR
   types.  A compliant domain name MUST have a record of at type SPF,
   code 99.  Lookup MUST first be of type SPF and SHOULD if no response
   is received be of type TXT.


Reasoning: The use of the TXT record for SPF is not sounds for a number =
of reasons:

1. The TXT record already can have multiple fields, and it is very =
unfortunate that the SPF use of TXT records do not use that feature. =
Instead the SPF specification do say that the first field should be =
used, and if there are more than one they should be concatenated. After =
one have one and only one field, that field should be parsed and divided =
in fields.

2. It is even (compared to some other TXT related documents) pointed out =
in RFC 4408 that collisions as described in RFC 5507 might happen.

3. It is also pointed out that there might be size issues with the =
records, and experience from use of NAPTR show that selecting a =
preferred mechanism that potentially blows the size of the RRSet is not =
very wise. This is btw why the URI RR Type do not use a prefixed length =
"text" field in the RDATA but do set the string the URI is to the full =
length of the RDATA, i.e. without any 255 byte limitation.

4. DNS is by design (as pointed out in RFC 5507) created with a tuple =
consisting of owner, type and class for selection by the client what =
record set to be retrieved. This RRSet architecture is something that =
comes back not only in the query/response architecture of the DNS =
protocol, but also in the DNSSEC architecture where RRSets are the units =
that are signed. Not explicitly ensuring an RRSet is used for SPF (and =
nothing more) is an architectural choice I strongly am against.


Because of these reasons, I do believe the choice is wrong to say that =
TXT MUST be implemented and instead I am in favor of having type SPF be =
mandatory for interoperability with fallback to lookup of TXT.

RFC 6686 tells us the extent to which people are "using both".  see
section 3.1.  No survey was able to find people "using both" at even
2% of all the domains surveyed.  SPF records using TXT ranged between
just under 40% to more than 50%.  I find it hard to interpret that
data as an indication that the migration plan is having any real
effect at all.

I don't think anyone can accuse me of being sanguine about the
overloading of TXT.  But the IETF is made ridiculous if it stands
around trying to tell the sea to stay back.

Best,

A

Most DNS servers let you stick in unknown RRs using generic hex or
octal values.  I've written preprocessors to massage zone info to
handle RRs that my server doesn't, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Vixie and I have a proposal to publish the syntax of new RRs in the
DNS itself, both so that DNS servers can automatically configure, but
equally importantly, so the configuration web crudware that most
people use to manage their DNS info can automatically configure as
well.  It's not a complete solution, since it can't handle major
changes like DNSSEC that require semantic changes to the DNS servers
and caches, but for the large majority of RRs that are just RRs, it
seems useful to me.

It got a surprisingly hostile reaction here, but people are interested
in appsarea.  The draft is  draft-levine-dnsextlang-06

R's,
John

Any URL that would easily explain how to configure an "unkown" record
without having to start doing C-programming ?

Of course, if there was a stanardized definitoin file one could drop into
arbitrary DNS servers to define both name of new RR types and their 
value encoding, then new RRs could be easier to use than more obfuscated TXT
encoding of new data. As long as its not really easier to do for folks
who do not want/can-not update their DNS software, i can see the appeal
of TXT.

Cheers
    Toerless

P.S.: COmpiling new bind does certainly not fall into the ubiquitously
accepted realm of "ease-of-use", even though i'd certainly have fun with it ;-)

Yes, again, RFC 3597.

Or a trivial preprocessor which could interpret current, modern RRTypes =
and output 3597-compliant opaque types for any RRType that was not in =
the base specification.

Thanks, John. Sounds like a necessary direction to make new record types
really easily useable.  Any summary how the programmatic API on the
client side would be abel to benefit from this approach ?

What data types did you define ? Something similar to what JSON could express ?

Cheers

Thanks. I should read through that. ALways interested how operationally
difficult/easy it would be to introduce SSM channel address RRs, which would
be AA (S,G - IPv4) and AAAAAAAA (S,G IPv6) ;-))

The draft is  draft-levine-dnsextlang-06.  It's not very long.

I went through all of the existing RRs, and defined types for all of the 
field types that seemed useful in new RRs.

One can also compare number of lines for this pre processor with number of l=

There seems to be an unstated philosophical argument about what the role
of the IETF should be.  It's like the perennial prescriptive/descriptive
argument that dictionary-writers have.

Should the role of the IETF be to describe implemented standards or
should it be to prescribe new or evolved standards?  Should it be trying
to push SPF in a slightly-different direction or should it be trying to
maximize the *current* (short-term?) utility and interoperability of SPF?

As someone who is primarily an operator, I want to trust the IETF to
prescribe a standard--or be willing to prescriptively modify a
standard--that is architecturally optimal, while not ignoring
operational realities.  Maybe I am just being lazy.

There's no question that some honest mistakes have been made in previous
standards that attempted to be too architecturally "pure" and ignored
the issues that that architectural purity created with respect to
implementation and operations.  The IETF got treated unnecessarily badly
in the ops community for this, IMO.

At the same time, I don't think the answer is to err on the descriptive
side.  Some compromise between description and prescription ought to be
possible.  There may be other issues within the SPFBIS effort where
there is more of a prescriptive/descriptive balance, but in the case of
RRTYPE 99, it seems that the IETF is taking a very descriptive approach.
 In reading through the archives, both recently and last September when
this issue arose here, it's clear that many people believe that
overloading of TXT is a bad idea, but they believe that this is reality
and it's not really the IETF's job to say what should be done.  I don't
totally agree with that because that's not how I view the IETF's role.

In other words, to my inexperienced eyes, there is a lot of room between
trying to tell the sea to stay back and deprecating RRTYPE 99.  But Pete
and Andrew are much deeper in the SPFBIS effort than I am, and I don't
envy them as they try to walk the line in getting this draft shepherded
and published.

As for my own opinion, I think the use of the TXT record by SPF has
always looked kludgy to me and has made me consistently reluctant to
adopt SPF.  It has also made me push back against implementing it for
others, unless it turns out to be absolutely necessary to prevent
someone's mail from being rejected.

I don't think either of these dichotomies captures the tension that is bein=
g addressed in this particular case.   In this particular case, spfbis cons=
idered at length whether the IETF _could_ do the architecturally clean thin=
g here, and concluded that we could not.

So the dichotomy you want here is, does the IETF propose a standard _knowin=
g full well that nobody will ever implement it_, or does the IETF try for a=
 substantial functional improvement to a standard that people have already =
shown they will implement?

The architecturally clean thing to do here is to get rid of SMTP, which is =
a protocol designed for a gentler time, and is ill-suited to the current In=
ternet, with its spammers and botnets and snoops (oh my!).   If you are int=
erested in architectural hygiene, get to work on that, and stop wasting you=
r energy fussing about the relative ugliness of two ugly band-aids, one of =
which spfbis decided to deprecate, the other of which they decided to keep.

I agree with what you say.

I run a small ISP business. Out of 849 domain running full DNS locally,=20
9 have SPF records of which 4 are TXT records only, the other 5 have
both SPF and TXT records.  Both my Virtual-Web interface control panel
(a home-grown affair) and the machines local Nameserver (BIND - for
now...) support the SPF record.
I'm now plotting to automatically create the SPF record equivalent if

 From Section 3.1 of draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis-19:

   "SPF records MUST be published as a DNS TXT (type 16) Resource Record
    (RR) [RFC1035] only.  The character content of the record is encoded
    as [US-ASCII].  Use of alternative DNS RR types was supported in
    SPF's experimental phase, but has been discontinued."

There is a message from Pete Resnick about RFC=20
2119 usage (=20
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg03642.html=20
).  The interpretation of "SHOULD" and MUST" in=20
that part of RFC 4408 was an issue which the SPFBIS WG discussed about.

It would be better to have the discussion on the=20
ietf@ mailing list as that's the venue which the=20
IESG identified for last Call comments.

S. Moonesamy=20

Understood, and thanks.

The reason why I did not post there at first was that a) I did not feel =
I had followed the rules laid out for discussions [read all messages in =
the mailing list archives] and b) the discussion on the dnsext list was =
more general on overload of TXT records [something DNS people have =
always been against -- see IAB document on DNS choices].

But, when having that discussion on the dnsext mailing list, to which I =
cc:ed Pete as responsible AD for full disclosure, Pete did ask me for a =
complete explanation of my view, which I posted.

Once again, without re-reading the mailing list archives.

As the bottle is opened, I hereby state my objection to Section 3.1 of =
draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis-19 for the reasons explained below. I do agree =
(as stated below) that the section of RFC 4408 that specify how to use =
both SPF and TXT resource record types include an error as it does not =
lead to interoperability.

As the intention with use of both TXT and SPF originally was to migrate =
from TXT to SPF I instead of what is outlined in the draft suggest that =
a proper migration strategy is laid out (look up mandatory to implement =
SPF and fall back to TXT). This instead of deprecation of the SPF =
record.

In general I do believe, for example when looking at IPv6 and DNSSEC and =
similar technologies, that the lifetime of RFC 4408 is too short to =
deprecate any of the proposed records that are in use, specifically as =

The question that needs to be asked but isn't is 'what role do the
governance structures permit'?

he IAB is tasked with architecture but does not solicit or build consensus
for its architectural proposals. Which is why Patrik's DNS options proposal
was stillborn.

That IAB is not elected by the IETF membership or accountable to it. So the
IETF feels no obligation to follow the guidance it attempts to give. Worse,
the old boys club method of selection ensures that members are picked for
the conformity rather than the novelty of their views. So it tends to be a
reactionary body.

In the case of Patrik's RFC, there were many problems:

1) The SPF Working Group was justifiably peeved by the attempt by the
DNSEXT group to trump their work by presenting their opinion in the form of
an IAB ultimatum.

2) The RFC is broken. It makes assertions that are demonstrably untrue and
makes erroneous conclusions.

3) The method of extension proposed is obviously unscalable as there are
only 65535 possible RRs and far more Web Services requiring discovery.

4) The draft does not acknowledge the fact that at the time it was written
one of the principle DNS servers in use could not in fact support unknown
RR types.

5) The document does not admit that the real agenda was to push through the
infrastructure needed to support DNSSEC.

The last was subject to a long dispute between the SPF group and the DNS
WG. At one point Microsoft presented the actual code for their DNS server
and showed that it absolutely does not have the ability to save a zone
file. Despite this DNSEXT members continued to insist that black was white
and Microsoft's DNS server could be used to serve unknown DNS RRs based on
the fact that one of them had written some sort of script that could
somehow wedge them into the cache. A hack that any network manager using it
should be sacked for touching since it was clearly not maintainable.

Having watched the interaction between the SPF and DNSEXT WGs, this outcome
is no surprise to me. Indeed it was inevitable.


We should have a proper IAB that comes out with architectural guidance so
we don't have six different WGs make six different decisions on how to do
the same thing. But that can only work if the process delivers a result
that has widespread consensus. Which is not going to happen if the process
is that an elite club meets in secret and issues edicts.

The IETF mission statement is botched. The mission of the IETF is not to
produce documents, they are only a byproduct. The mission of the IETF is to
produce consensus.

The reason I am peeved by the CBOR fiasco is that we have a situation where
we need a common approach but the mechanism chosen ensures that the chosen
winner has no consensus and will thus be ignored.


We do need a proper discovery architecture. One that makes it possible to
discover policy information as part of the discovery process. The DNS
options draft was a missed opportunity in that respect.

I have suggested to Patrik on several occasions that we extend his URI
discovery proposal to allow policy attributes to be included in the URI
specification. But never received an answer.

My apologies for you believing the ball is on my side of the courtyard.

I did think it was up to you to "send text".

I am taking this offline. It is not related to this SPF discussion.

You're right; I was trying to proffer a false dichotomy to show that the
answer is somewhere in the middle, but that wasn't laid out in the
questions I was asking.  (It was hinted in my statement about
"architectural purity.")

The (false) dichotomy ought to represent both extremes, knowing that the
correct answer is somewhere in the middle. In other words: Should the
IETF propose a standard _knowing full well that nobody will ever
implement it_, or should it describe as a standard what lots of people
are doing now, no matter how broken or unsustainable the current
behavior is?

I am NOT arguing that SPFBIS, even as currently proposed with the RRTYPE
99 deprecation, is close to either extreme.  However, I am concerned
when I hear lots of people--here and in the SPFBIS archives--state that
they don't like the txt record, but they think that the IETF will get
laughed at/sneered at/ignored if it tries to transition to the SPF
record.  I don't quite agree with that--I think there is more middle in the
middle ground.  If that were the only consideration that the WG gave to
the topic, then I would disagree.  As it is, I am merely concerned.

I am not interested in the "architecturally clean" solution.  Apologies
if that didn't come through in my message.

My apologies, seems like we had a miscommunication and Patrick was waiting

False dichotomy.

People have already implemented SPF RRs. As far as I know, all popular =
name servers already support the SPF RR type in one form or another.  I =
am aware of multiple UIs that allow for SPF RRs to be entered and I know =
from personal experience that there are SPF validators that will make =
use of SPF RRs: not having followed the 4408{,bis} discussions, when I =
set up SPF on my personal domain a while back, I naively used the SPF RR =
(didn't occur to me to use TXT). I noticed in my logs that people were =
querying for my SPF records.

What folks are suggesting is that the SPFBIS working group _fix the =
migration strategy_.  As far as I can tell, no one thinks the 4408bis =
approach is a good idea, rather it is justified as being pragmatic. I'm =
unsure why the SPFBIS believes the time for migration is now over and =
that the Internet community must abandon the effort to replace TXT with =
SPF, permanently embedding a hack and forcing every other application =
that might want to use TXT at the zone apex either now or in the future =
to deal with strings that start with "v=3Dspf".

> The architecturally clean thing to do here is to get rid of SMTP, =
which is a protocol designed for a gentler time, and is ill-suited to =
the current Internet, with its spammers and botnets and snoops (oh my!). =
If you are interested in architectural hygiene, get to work on that, and =
stop wasting your energy fussing about the relative ugliness of two ugly =
band-aids, one of which spfbis decided to deprecate, the other of which =
they decided to keep.

I suspect it might take significantly longer to transition away from =
SMTP than to migrate from TXT to SPF.

I believe the actual argument, which I have already repeated here
once, did not hinge on claims of impossibility or possibility.  That
would be rather an absurd bar, since it is obviously logically
possible[1] that the transition happens.  

Rather, the argument was that the transition strategy as defined in
4408 hadn't caused much use of SPF yet; that requiring SPF query first
would involve a useless lookup on day 0, which would increase network
use and might increase latency; that requiring TXT query first would
automatically provide a disincentive to any possible transition; and
that both strategies were more complicated than just picking one, and
interoperability effectively required picking TXT.  As a pragmatic
matter of protocol engineering _given a deployed base_, I'd like to
hear an argument against the above argument, because I was unable to
advance a strong, sound one despite my preference for a move away from
TXT.

Best,

A

[1] As David Lewis (the philosopher, not the politican) was reputedly
fond of pointing out, there is a logically-possible world in which I
am a mud puddle.  I'm taking it for granted that we are not trying to
optimise for such worlds, but for the actual world in which we all
subsist.  In that world, network effects are important, so that the
overwhelming preference of existing deployers is a TXT record is
significant.  I grant, however, that that same actual world is a
logically-possible world in which my name ought better to be spelled
MUD.

It seems that the real problem here is that there were very many people =
who knew that using TXT records in the first place was the wrong idea, =
made their views known and were ignored.  Worse still a number of people =
predicted this inevitable end point, that using TXT would become the =
standard if was promoted as an interim step to start with.

So for me the real question now is how to prevent another poor decision =
like that from happening again.  Personally I think the best way is to =
push the pain on those that have caused the problem by deprecating the =
use of TXT for SPF and setting a flag day.  That's seems a fair and =
reasonable consequence for making such an obviously poor decision in the =
first place.

In order to do something architecturally clean, two things have to be true.=

The transition away from SMTP has already happened.   There are still legac=

of the text-based interpersonal communication that occurs on the internet t=

Sounds excellent and I will read it.  I did the same thing (defining all =

that takes and the value that could come from it.

I'm not sure if you've noticed yet, but there's an often repeated =
pattern to innovative ideas being brought to this list when a sufficient =
gap is left between attempts:

1st attempt:   surprisingly hostile reaction
2nd attempt:   apathy

I did a little extrapolation, and based on adoption rates from 2006 to
now, it'd be about 200 years until we could turn off TXT records.

The people who actually use SPF have spoken, loudly.  The only large
mail system that ever checked type 99 records was Yahoo, and they
don't any more.  Google, Hotmail, AOL, Comcast, et al., all publish
and check TXT records, and have never checked type 99 (not because
they don't know how.)  The libraries that people use to check SPF
mostly have the type 99 check turned off because it just slows things
down.

This ship sailed so long ago it's fallen off the other side of the
world, particularly since switching from TXT to SPF provides no
operational benefit whatsoevever to the mail system operators that
publish ahd use them.

R's,
John

The irony is that there is still a huge dual TXT/TXT overhead in 
queries to get SPF information with the big boys switching to _spf 
prefix subdomain zones.  The larger ESP should optimize their calling 
requirements to a single call for the same of the rest of the 
community to support them.  For example: google.com, facebook.com

google.com
    v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ip4:216.73.93.70/31 
ip4:216.73.93.72/31 ~all"

facebook.com:
    v=spf1 redirect=_spf.facebook.com

At least with Facebook, their SPF corporate policy is a HARD FAIL, so 
their spoof protection payoff is very high and google.com is just a 
waste in calls with its softfail policy.

That can all easily change once major DNS servers, like Microsoft 
support unnamed RR type processing.  Its the only reason Windows shops 
don't (could not) support it.

So what you are saying is that TXT applications is it, its the 
acceptable record to use from now on for all future DNS applications. 
Why bother with anything else?

This is an individual comment.  See 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/current/msg13086.html specifically:

   "I was the document shepherd for RFC 6686.  There wasn't any comments during
    the Last Call."

All it takes is people volunteering to review drafts instead of 
expecting Area Directors or the usual people to do all the work.

The thread starts at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00426.html 
See http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00594.html 
too.  There is also a thread at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00533.html

I would attempt to explain the path to the RRTYPE decision as follows:

The SPFBIS effort started with a request for experimental evidence ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00255.html 
).  Murray Kucherawy asked about the SPF RR Type ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00329.html 
).  Philip Gladstone posted some data ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00354.html 
).  There was a question about what evidence was being requested ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00355.html 
).  Issue #9 about the RRTYPE was raised ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00361.html 
).  The working group was asked to comment about it ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00426.html 
).  The SPFBIS Chairs concluded that there wasn't consensus for the 
removal of TYPE 99 ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00594.html ).

The SPFBIS Chairs noted a concern about interoperability ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00692.html ).

As it was difficult to resolve the issue of the RRTYPE the matter was 
discussed at a meeting ( 
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/83/minutes/minutes-83-spfbis.txt ).

RFC 6686 indicates 2% of tested sites have SPF records, so not quite =
useless.  And if you're going to say "2% is too small", I'll simply =

For the 98% (according to RFC 6686) that haven't deployed SPF RRs, =
definitely.  Easy fix for that if the transition strategy is fixed.

Not really.  Interoperability requires TXT be queried. The suggestion is =
that it be queried last.  But you know this.

It's obvious that no new arguments are being made here, so if you didn't =
consider the above convincing before, you're unlikely to consider it =
convincing now and this is a waste of time.  Not surprising.

My understanding is that when SPF was being developed initially, it was =
exceedingly difficult to get a new RR defined.  That problem has been =
solved.  Obviously, if someone still chooses to use TXT (for whatever =
reason) and then standardize a broken transition strategy, the same =

The premise for this oft-voiced view is that we know what a 'safe and 
proper and equally usable' mail transfer infrastructure service should 
look like and how it is different from the current SMTP infrastructure.

The premise is comforting but false.

I have a standard response to views like this:

      1. We have a long and successful history of figuring out how to 
successfully add capabilities to Internet mail (including SMTP.)  No 
doubt, at some point, we will need to add something that we won't be 
able to figure out how to do workably.  At that point, we will have to 
replace SMTP.

      2.  Before it is reasonable to throw out SMTP, there needs to be a 
functional specification for a feature that has community consensus, and 
we need to try to implement it via SMTP, but then fail to find a way to 
do it.

      3. To date, there is no community consensus proposal.  There are 
many individuals who are certain they know the Truth for this topic, but 
they haven't developed a clear community consensus for modifying this 
global infrastructure service. Such folk are encouraged to review:

         http://craphound.com/spamsolutions.txt

         It's Cory Doctorow's purportedly humorous checklist on the 
topic, but he did a good enough job to be useful for those of us who 
regularly field claims of knowing what is known in the trade as the 
Final Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem (FUSSP)

It wasn't difficult at all.  Just no one involved with SPF would attempt
to get a record.  There was this whole mythology that it was hard with
no evidence to back it up.

I say this as someone that got much more contraversial records in the same
time period.

Thanks David.  I understood that another key issue was the lack of =
support in MS DNS products for unknown RRs, which I gather is still the =

Without agreeing or disagreeing with your view on SMTP, this might =

Yes and no (mostly no) -- see the note from Carsten Strotman below.  =
Sad.

Based on the fact Microsoft doesn't support unknown RR types after a =
decade (3 years longer than SPF RRs), I gather we should deprecate =
unknown RRs... :)

Actually, I think it says that fewer than 2% of such sites have SPF
records.

But the analogy there is preposterous, because SPF is, by any measure,
a much more successful technology than either of those others.  If in
the case of either DNSSEC or IPv6 we had anything remotely resembling
the alternate path to deployment that the TXT record for SPF has, we'd
standardize it.  

Alternatively, we could say that in the case of v6 we _do_ have such a
technology: NAT44.  And indeed, long after the success of the
lalala-I-can't-hear-you crowd on NAT44, the IETF got around to trying
to figure out the least broken way to cope with this.  A whole working
group (BEHAVE) got set up for that purpose.

> Deploying something new takes time, even if the transition

Yes, but if the transition strategy relies on people who get no
benefit of any sort from making the transition, the end recedes
permanently into the future.  Mail operators have voted with their
feet.

This is yet another difference with DNSSEC and IPv6.  In the case of
both of those transitions, there's at least some argument to be made
that some benefit redounds to the operator who needs to make a
transition.  A DNSSSEC signer gets assurance that at least validating
clients can determine whether the data is legit.  A DNSSEC validator
gets assurance that the validated source data is legit.  An IPv6
service offering ensures that the v6 network can get the service, and
an IPv6 client might have no other choice due to address scarcity.  

In the case of SPF, the incentive to publish TYPE99 depends entirely
on SPF validators looking it up.  The SPFBIS WG's surveys detected
almost no use of the lookup of TYPE 99, and even fewer such lookups
that appeared to be anything other than concurrent lookups of the
functionally equivalent TXT record.  Nobody is using this thing, and
there is nothing that provides an incentive to do it.  The IETF
insisting that it's a good idea would do exactly nothing to advance
that state of affairs.

I would dearly love evidence to the contrary, but unless you have some
new data to suggest why RFC 6686 is wrong, there is really no
incentive anywhere on the network to move, and if the IETF published a
standard saying, "Move, darnit," that would do nothing except make the
IETF look even more out of touch than usual.

So, you would prefer that on day 0 everyone send a query that in
almost every case offers no benefit in order to get an advantage that
is mostly a matter of architectural correctness?  What do you think
the chances are that validators will follow that reasoning?  Do you
think the chances are better than, say, deployment of BCP 38?  Why?

Best,

Assigning a new rr is demonstrably simple at this time (expert review),
it doesn't require stardards action, and you can do so without an rfc.

Which was done with for example URI, which confuses people so much that =
we now write an RFC explaining the RR Type.

SMTP is older, and unless they fixed it last year, Hotmail doesn't
follow the RFC regarding MX lookups either. So while we're deprecating
things... ;)

That doesn't give much hope for any additional use of DNS for their
mail, be it using TXT or a protocol-specific type, or a fallback
approach, TBH.

Apart from the wee problem of Windows Server DNS not supporting unknown
records and being 4 years off an update as demonstrated by the Microsoft
team showing the source code.

Nobody disputed the ability to get a new RR, the issue was getting support
for the new RR from DNS resolution providers who were not running recent
versions of BIND. The support for unknown records had not been defined when
the Microsoft product was launched.

One protocol using TXT isn't a real issue.  When you get to 10, 50 or 500
using TXT it becomes a real issue.  The point of having types is to be
able to split out data for one protocol from another.  We have already
had to renumber types is the DNS because the uses were too overloaded.

TXT is a great prototyping tool.  It makes a lousy long term solution
however.

Not splitting out SPF means that you can't just let someone have the
ability to update TXT records without impacting on the SPF policy.

With SPF first you can hand someone the ability to update TXT records
without risking impacts on SPF policy.

The issues with using TXT is independent of the apex of a zone.

You just broke anyone that uses a wildcard SPF record to say that wildcarded
names don't send email.

Works:
	*.example.net A <address of webhoster>
	*.example.net AAAA <address of webhoster>
	*.example.net SPF "v=spf1 -all"

Doesn't work:
	*.example.net A <address of webhoster>
	_spf.*.example.net TXT "v=spf1 -all"

SPF records MUST be deployable where ever a A, AAAA or MX is deployable.

Yup, makes sense.

Yup, makes sense (though not as big an issue one would think, but ymmv).

Except that the issues above seem to be solved by moving it out of the =

Right, so is that fixable in any way?  (I don't know the answer, just =

As stewards of the "commons" here, the SPF folks might do well to heed 
our concerns about "overgrazing" of a shared resource (TXT RR semantic 
space).

Or, to put it another way, "get off of my lawn".

RFC4408, 6.1 defines the 'redirect' attribute, which sends the client off 
to another record, commonly '_spf.same.domain' or '_spf.common.domain' in 
the case of a hosting provider with multiple zones.  To _partially_
alleviate concerns about SPF records filling up the TXT record at the zone 
apex to the detriment of other uses, 4408bis could have something similar 
to the following under 3.4:

   Where non-SPF records are also present in the domain's TXT record, the
   SPF record SHOULD be limited to a redirect to a dedicated SPF record as
   defined in Section 6.1.  Where possible, non-SPF records should also use
   similar redirects.  For example:

     example.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 redirect=_spf.example.com"
     example.com. IN TXT "Can the SPF RR-99 or TXT record be phased out?"
     example.com. IN TXT "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A"
     example.com. IN TXT "MEANINGFUL RESPONSE."
     example.com. IN TXT "v=quoteref redirect=_lastquestion.example.com"

   Bruce Campbell.

   Personally I think the biggest failure of SPF was a lack of insistence
   on it using a SRV-style prefix from the start.  At the very least,
   the IETF should use SPF as a case study on why _not_ having dedicated
   record locations is a bad idea.

Not really.  See RFC 4408 and 4408bis.

SPF does provide the ability to indirect to another name, and some
people use various prefixes when they indirect, but that's not part of
the protocol, nor are there any widespread conventions about what
names to use.  For some bad examples, see the TXT records at
hotmail.com, outlook.com. and microsoft.com.

If you will review the past million messages or so on this topic, you
will find broad agreement that if we were designing SPF from scratch,
we would do it differently.  But we're not, we're talking about a widely
deployed protocol which, no matter what the IETF might do, will not
appeciably change from what's deployed now.

R's,
John

Genuine question: if a protocol is widely deployed, poorly
standardised, and poorly designed, does that mean it merits
RFC standards track? IE are standards track RFCs meant to
document what is out there and used, or should be out there
and used?

I have always been of the opinion it was the latter, but most
of this conversation has presumed the former.

My impression was that it was impossible in MSDNS to add RFC 3597-style =
unknown RRs to the master directly, but that it was possible for a MSDNS =
slave to zone transfer in unknown RRs from a non-MSDNS master that =
allowed the insertion of RFC 3597-style unknown RRs.  However, I may =
have misunderstood.

Regardless, Microsoft's inability to deal with unknown RRs in any sort =
of reasonable fashion after a decade is surprising and unfortunate.

BIND (since early BINDv9), of course, has no problem with RFC 3597-style =
unknown RRs, either as master or slave.

Right, but the web provisioning crudware that people use in front of BIND 
generally can't handle anything other than A, MX, CNAME, and TXT, so for 
anything else you have to get someone with direct access to the host to 
edit the master file.  Like I said, sounds just the same.

It's not a question of "merit," and even if it were, I think it would be a =
bit much to say that this document has no merit, or is "poorly designed," j=
ust because you don't like the use of the TXT record, which is a small part=
 of the whole.

It is a technical standard, developed in the IETF, which has applicability =
on the internet.   Those are the criteria for something being standards-tra=
ck.

It's a reasonable question.  RFC 4408 currently exists and isn't going 
away, and SPF is probably more widely deployed than most standards track 
RFCs.  We all agree that it's ugly, and we wouldn't design it this way if 
we were doing it from scratch.

The choices are to stick our fingers in our ears and pretend it'll go 
away, or to acknowledge reality and make what fixes we can, keeping in 
mind that the installed base isn't going to make changes that cause a lot 
of breakage, or that have no perceptible benefit to them.

The IETF has in the past often made the wrong choice in similar 
situations,* and I have to say it's dismaying that so many people seem 
determined to do it again.

I just rememered how I "solved" this once. Just set a low(er) expiration on
your zone. Who cares if a zone is still running on a server somewhat
longer?

Arguing that SPF (and other "unknown") records should be deprecated
is pushing in the wrong direction, as drc indicates via sarcasm,
assuming that the IETF is meant to have any prescriptive role at all.

The right thing seems to be to write an RFC mandating that every DNS
server connected to the public Internet MUST accept unknown RR types,
and that every system that feeds data into DNS servers SHOULD accept
unknown RR types gracefully.  Then to push for this RFC to become
a Standard.  Then to push for RFPs to mandate conformance with the RFC.

I've watched several vendors through incompetence and/or deliberate
design try to kill DNS in favour of their own directory service
"solutions" for twenty years.  They have not yet succeeded.  So there
seems no reason those who think DNS is a net win should sit back and
let them do it.  (Those who think DNS is a dead loss, or that the IETF
should simply describe what vendors have cooked up and are trying to
hawk, should just ignore all this.)

How would this RFC differ from RFC 3597?

Or this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnut_the_Great#Ruler_of_the_waves

Henry of Huntingdon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_of_Huntingdon>, the
12th-century chronicler, tells how Cnut set his throne by the sea shore and
commanded the tide to halt and not wet his feet and robes. Yet "continuing
to rise as usual [the tide] dashed over his feet and legs without respect
to his royal person. Then the king leapt backwards, saying: 'Let all men
know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, for there is none
worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal
laws.' He then hung his gold crown on a
crucifix<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifix>,
and never wore it again "to the honour of God the almighty King".

The question at issue is whether the IETF is going to write specs that make
people in the IETF feel good or specs that deployers trust as the best
source of advice on how to configure their systems.

There is a technical argument to be made for keeping SPF records but it is
a small one. And the idea that there will be a transition from TXT is silly.


One of the problems here is that folk in the DNSEXT group believed what
they wanted to believe. When someone told them that the Windows DNS server
did too support unknown records they believed it because they wanted to
believe it. And so when Microsoft told them 'no it does not' they decided
they must be lying. I was accused of lying when I mentioned the fact during
the discussions of the SPF record.

The way that the SPF record was imposed on the working group to placate the
DNSEXT folk guaranteed that none of them would ever push for it being
supported in practice.

I am surprised that you would ask that. =20

We regularly get complaints from a registrant that they moved registrar =

their old website.  When the old registrar is one of the largest ISPs in =

 It's unnecessary.

It's not germane to the SPF discussion, so there's no hurry.

That's a good question.  I cannot comment on the answer.

There was a comment from Patrik F=E4ltstr=F6m.  It=20
was very insightful and it describes the issue=20
clearly.  My guess is that Patrik F=E4ltstr=F6m was being nice.

Part of the question is whether the IETF is going to work with ICANN, IANA
and the ccTLD to audit delegations for servers that are not RFC 103[45]
compliant and suspend delegations where the servers are not compliant.

	* no responding to queries based on query type
	* not having a NS rrset at the delegation point

Enforcing that ccTLD and ICANN TLD regularly audit delegations and
have mismatches corrected.  This is REQUIRED by RFC 1034 in part to
stop the sorts of problems we are seeing today.

We don't have to put up people putting up misconfigured / broken servers.

For the non responding servers I have written
draft-andrews-dns-no-response-issue to try to capture the issues.
It was on the dnsop agenda for Berlin but didn't get covered as time
ran out.  I would like everyone to read it and comment on it.

It would not: the problem is that we in the IETF seem to have stopped
moving standards from Draft Standard through to Standard status.
RFC 3597 has been in Proposed then Draft standard status since 2003.
This may give RFP writers at various vendors useful wiggle room, but
undercuts the usefulness of having standards in the first place for
the majority of Internet users who are not beholden to the dynamics
of enterprise procurement.

It is clear that at least three implementations have achieved
"widespread deployment" and conform to RFC 3597.  Perhaps we could
celebrate the tenth anniversary of RFC 3597 by trying to move it
forward?

Were the oft-raised concern that "SPF records will break some servers
that are unable to handle unknown record types" to be pushed aside with
"we can ignore those since they are not standards-compliant", then we
could have a real discussion about the merits of SPF vs. TXT-for-SPF.
Until then, not so much.

Well the issue is what it did support during the SPF development and the
insistence of some that it did things that the vendor swore it did not.

Yes, but the config would be lost on a reboot as the server could not save
out the unknown records in the zone file.

The server would behave properly but the config was not supported.

Nameservers that refuse to answer SPF queries are NOT STANDARDS
COMPLIANT.  Yes, that is FULL STANDARD.

Resolvers that don't support arbitary query types are NOT STANDARDS
COMPLIANT.

RFC 1034

   3. General lookup function

      This function retrieves arbitrary information from the DNS,
      and has no counterpart in previous systems.  The caller
      supplies a QNAME, QTYPE, and QCLASS, and wants all of the
      matching RRs.  This function will often use the DNS format
      for all RR data instead of the local host's, and returns all
      RR content (e.g., TTL) instead of a processed form with local
      quoting conventions.

If you think it's important to move it to full standard, why don't you
do somthing about it?  A quick look suggests that 3597 meets the
requirements in sec 2.2 of RFC 6410 I wouldn't think that it'd be hard
to persuade someone on the IESG to sponsor the required last call.

R's,
John

PS: On the other hand, I wouldn't expect it to make much practical
difference.  In the outside world, most people can't tell a full
standard RFC from and April 1.

having been in the pond for a few years, I'd suggest that
it is reasonable to document existing practice.  It is also
prudent to pick the best technical choice.  The use of 
multiplexing/overloading is known to be problematic.  

I would not depricate the SPF RR.  I would make the claim that
both 16 and 99 RRtypes are used for the purpose for which RRtype
99 was designed.  Absent data on rates of adoption, I'd postpone
the LC for a period of time to collect a second set of data points
(besides the ones PAF and DRC have published in the last week)

I'd suggest that SPF data MUST (in the RFC 2026 sense) be prefered
 in publication and SPF data encoding in TXT records MAY (in the RFC 2026 sense)
be included.  E.G.  RRtype 99 is mandatory to implement for compliant
servers.  The technical arguemnts for unique RRtypes are small but real.

I'll mention:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg01662.html
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg01904.html

And I'll quote Andrew ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg01948.html ):

   "If I put my hat on for a moment, either SM or I would have to shepherd
    this document.  We would have to explain to the IESG that, yes, our
    charter said we wouldn't remove any features we knew to be in use, and
    yes, we had evidence that these features were sometimes, only rarely,

    didn't care about those uses and thought they were dumb and decided
    not to count those people because there were too few of them.  As a
    simple process matter, that's a problem."

I need a good explanation to be able to ask the Responsible Area 
Director to suspend the Last Call.  I have to take into account that 
the explanation can be challenged and that will cause process issues.

I suggest that you make a formal request.  I can treat the message at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsext/current/msg13339.html as 
a formal request if you wish.  Please note that I am not ignoring your comment.

This makes little sense to me.

Deprecating SPF is removing a feature we know to be in use (perhaps
less than TXT, but still in use).

Are you saying that a draft that deprecated overloading of TXT
would be out of scope because people are doing it? How would this
be different from a draft that pointed out other 'bad' things
you should not do with existing records (we've had plenty of those)
even when those things have been found in the wild?

I was explaining it would be a process problem if every comment is 
not carefully considered. For example, if you are the only person 
making an argument, I cannot ignore it; I cannot give it less weight 
than the arguments being made by a significant number of persons.

The answers to the above questions is a matter of opinion.  I have 
not formed an opinion as it would then be difficult for me to try and 
figure out what to suggest to address the issues which have been raised.

S. Moonesamy

++; on bill above. Some logging and a grepish snapshot:=20

(background: I serve around 150 zones from my name server pair. This
is query logs from my BIND master. Not much traffic, but a 45MiB log buffer,
at least. Further, none of the nodes recurse; this is only resolvers
looking at name servers.)

$ ls -lh q*
-rw-r--r--  1 bind  wheel   4.1M Aug 23 07:21 queries.log
-rw-r--r--  1 bind  wheel    10M Aug 23 04:36 queries.log.0
-rw-r--r--  1 bind  wheel    10M Aug 22 20:22 queries.log.1

-rw-r--r--  1 bind  wheel    10M Aug 22 06:11 queries.log.3

$ cat queries* | awk '  /TXT/ { txt++; };=20
		 	/SPF/ {spf++; };=20
			END   { printf "TXT: %d\tSPF: %d\n",=20
				txt,=20
				spf; }'
TXT: 2032       SPF: 396

The disclaimer of course is that all whining around my misunderstanding
of the payload in SPF records has caused the entire IETF list membership
to look up my SPF "records" to point fingers and laugh at them, thereby
skewing the numbers.

If I'm doing anything worng wrt counting the records above, please point
it out and I'll try to rectify.

In my view, that says more about us, the IETF-community, than about the
outside world. There work to be done here, for the IETF.

I counted my queries from a few days ago and got 7086 TXT, 263 SPF, or 3.7%.

Nobody has argued that SPF usage is zero, and the reasons for
deprecating SPF have been described repeatedly here and on the ietf
list, so this exercise seems fairly pointless.

John

Ã“lafur Gudmundsson nominated RFC 3597 to advance from Proposed to
Draft Standard in message <6.1.0.6.2.20040819092046.02d2dec0@localhost>
of 19 Aug 2004.  This was based on -00 of Jakob Schlyter's draft,
of which the most recent version is from May 2005:
    http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-dnsext-interop3597-02.txt

Since Jakob already did an important part of the work, I would
first like to understand what happened to the advancement request,
especially in light of the two revisions of the interoperability
report after the request.  Does anyone have pointers?

(I know that PS/DS were merged a couple of years ago, but would still
like to understand how the PS->DS process went, and if it failed, why.)

I appreciate this level of work to see why it fell through the cracks. 
I believe it is one of the IETF growing lack of diversity issues, 
i.e., improving electronic communications, collaborations and 
networking among industry peers.

This should be a project leader(s) responsibility to make sure the 
basic technology requirements are realistic or not, i.e., consult and 
get input from the DNS industry vendors, make them aware and/or to 
find out why this has not happen yet.

For example, why hasn't Microsoft supported RFC 3597 yet?  You will be 
surprise that a well respected Microsoft DNS Expert and MVP (Most 
Valuable Player) was unaware of such needs, nor was his microsoft 
contacts and the MSDNS beta team based on a discussion with him:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/5841e884-db22-42a1-8530-615a375662cc/dns-server-support-for-new-or-unamed-rr-type-records

This was back in March/April 2012.

If Microsoft isn't going to bother to add direct support for the SPF 
type99 RR, nor support RFC 3597 at the very least, I believe this 
matter is decided and closed. TXT only is proper for SPFBIF and for 
future DNS applications as well.

I am sure there are key IETF decision makers with Microsoft DNS 
product manager contacts who can find out whats going on to help 
resolve this LC issue.

	the reasons for not deprecating SPF have been described here

Our authoritative-only nameservers show a similar 3:1 ratio, again just
using BIND's counts of query by type. In the last 4 weeks, they show
TXT 399807, SPF 133903 and TXT 940038, SPF 340354 (the second is an
official slave for rather more forward zones, some of which even have
some SPF records).

On the other hand, our central recursive nameservers (only for clients
on the university network) show TXT:SPF over 250:1. But probably very
few clients are receiving mail and checking its origin using these
namesevers, and something else is responsible for the large count
of TXT queries.

The latest attempt at advancing 3597 was draft-ietf-dnsext-rfc3597-bis-=
02
in February 2010.  For the WGLC summary, see

Hi Chris,

It would be instructive to find a way to better characterise the TXT
numbers in the counts that you and others have contributed to this
thread.

This does not seem obviously easy, since inferring the reason for a
query even with knowledge of the full response (eg including
SPF-identifying tokens or not) seems hard.

It seems vaguely ironic that part of the reason it's hard to assess
the relative use of SPF/16 and SPF/99 in queries  is that 16 is
overloaded, which is itself the root of the objection to its use.


Joe

When you look at recursive servers you are looking at the direct
clients of that server.

When you look at authoritative servers you are seeing the world
wide population of clients.  Add to that you need to look at the
differing TTLs for the responses for the two query types as most
of these queries will be from a caching server and not the ultimate
client.  You also need to know if the SPF queries return a positive
or negative response as that will also directly impact on the ratio
of queries.  You also need to know if the responses are for a
existing name or result in name error.  You also need to ensure
that the delegations are all correct or the negative responses will
be rejected by some of the recursive servers.  You also need to
look at whether the responses TTLs are being truncated or not.

To eliminate most of the sources of bias you need to measuring on
a site that doesn't have spf records of either form (spf/txt).  Next
best you need to be measuring on a site that publishes both with
equal ttl (spf/(txt + spf)).

Mixed mode servers are too difficult to quantify.

In this SPF/TXT case, you also need to look at whether the query came
from someone named "google", "hotmail", "yahoo", and maybe another
four or five systems on the Internet; or whether it came from someone
else.

This is related to the point that I think Ted Lemon made elsewhere on
the topic: the big operators of mail are so big that if even one of
them were doing something with SPF, it would really move the needle.
The fact is that they're not, and the one who _was_ doing something
with it has given up because the additional query adds load and
latency for no benefit.

Surely this point is not obscure to the participants of this list?
Someone who pretended to do a survey about DNS that didn't contain any
queries for .com would be laughed out of the room, and everyone
interested in DNSSEC was doubtless cheered when the root and .com were
announced to be signed, because after that there was reason to suppose
that support could be useful.  We have the same sorts of 10,000 pound
gorillas in the email space.

Best,

A

No.  Big operators still have caches.  They actually have little
impact on authoritative server loads.  You might be sending the
millions of emails a day but if you TTL is for 1 day you may get
100 queries assuming the recursive server farm is that big.

Actually they don't move the needle much at all.  What moves the needle
is new MTAs being installed.

Big operators only move the needle on their own servers.  For everybody
else the have little impact on the ratio of queries.

More correctly the don't have much impact on authoritative servers.
It they were to publish SPF records they would impact on the query
load directed at recursive servers that have clients that look for
both SPF and TXT.  But we were discussing loads on authoritative
servers.

Clearly, I'm an idiot.  

I thought that this discussion was actually about measuring the
relative importance of SPF and TXT in the deployed environment on the
Internet.  So I was supposing that, because of the facts of the
deployed environment of the Internet, when you're counting how many
TXT or SPF records are queried, you have to consider who asked the
question.

If bobsmailandbaitshop.tld asks for an SPF or TXT record, that should
count less in the "how is this deploye?d" estimation than if
hotmail.com asks the same question.  For these each have a cache, as
you say; and there's a pretty good reason to suppose that a single SPF
or TXT query from Hotmail relates to many more actual mail deliveries
than Bob's Mail and Bait Shop.  This is along the lines of what Ted
Lemon (I think?  Sorry if I attribute wrong) was asking about "per
unit of mail delivered".

But I gather from your comments that all we're trying to measure is
the count of queries for a type at a given nameserver.  Obviously for
that, you're right: count the queries.  I don't know why in the world
would we care about that, though.

Best,

A

We are trying to measure the installed base of MTA's that support
SPF vs those that support just TXT.  DNS caches hide the volume of
email going through a MTA.  There is no one-to-one relationship between
email sent and SPF or TXT lookup.

The figures are saying between a third and a quarter of the worlds
MTAs doing spf support SPF record lookups if you neglect TTL values.

Some of those MTA's handle million of emails a day.  Others handle
hundreds.

Actually bobsmailandbaitshop.tld counts the same as gmail.com.

Actually I was just trying to make clear what was being measured.  What
potential biases there were in the measurements.  Figures mean nothing
unless you have a good understanding of what they are saying.

Also my point.  There were people who wanted to make _much_ stronger
claims on the basis of the evidence that SPFBIS collected that I
simply couldn't subscribe to.  That's partly why the SPFBIS
conclusions are somewhat tentative, I think.  I would certainly be
delighted if we had people or (more likely) money to conduct a really
rigourous study, but that seems to me like wishful thinking.

What would a more rigorous study show?

As far as I can tell, the issue isn't whether the SPF RR is being used =
(it appears to be, albeit at a tiny percentage relative to TXT =
currently), rather it's whether or not a handful of major mail service =
providers will use SPF RRs in the future if the IETF were to document a =
fix to the broken transition strategy in 4408. The SPFBIS WG appears to =
be asserting that despite no one thinking using TXT is a good idea, most =
DNS servers supporting SPF (Microsoft being the notable exception), DNS =
hosting and UI vendors saying they're waiting on the IETF to make up =
their mind about the SPF RR, existing DNS editors supporting the SPF RR, =
etc., no transition away from TXT is possible.

I'm unclear what a rigorous study of existing data could possibly =
demonstrate that would convince anyone who holds this view otherwise.

Regards,
-drc

Right, despite the fact that 4408 actually suggested that it'd be good
to use SPF.

How would the IETF do that?  The strategy in 4408 was roughly, "Try
both," though admittedly in a flawed way.  But this is exactly the nut
of the problem.  There is no way to create an incentive, given the
actual world we live in, for anyone either to publish or to check 99
as the primary mechanism.  As long as 16 is what everyone is already
doing, network effects say that 16 wins.  There is no advantage to
anyone in moving to 99: neither on the check side nor on the publish
side do you win.  So nobody will.

We either need something new that will make SPF worth doing -- call it
SPF v3 that expresses new policy that's even better (and I can think
of something!  Think of EAI-using domains that need better
granularity!) -- or else we need to embrace the lowest common
denominator.  Nobody in any of this has offered the slightest
incentive to anyone, AFAICT, except, "DNS is better this way."  Who
cares?  I do, you do, but we don't organize the universe.

The above is my claim: nobody cares about this hygiene.  If I'm wrong,
then I want a rigourous study to show it, because none of the
empirical evidence suggests so far that accepting and documenting the
facts as they are today is different than the effects of saying, "You
oughta like TYPE99 more."  We don't have legislative power.

You say MUST query for SPF and if there is a NO DATA response you
MAY query for TXT.  Modern spf libraries already do this.  Legacy
SPF checkers are no longer compliant.  Even checkers running under
Windows can meet this MUST.

You say that nameservers SHOULD synthesis SPF records from TXT
v=spf1 records.  This helps registrars stuck with broken web
interfaces.  Code for this is written.

You say that nameservers SHOULD reject loading of zones without SPF
records when there are v=spf1 TXT records.  This provides education
for everybody else.  Code for this is written.

You make all the examples use SPF not TXT.  Again more education.

You set a sunset date for the use of TXT for spf lookups.

Hi,

Thanks for the outline of the transition strategy.  Let me walk
through it, piece by pice, and see how it works.  I'm going to use
"SPF-99" and "SPF-16" in what follows to disambiguate the query cases.
I'll call the existing SPF implementations "SPFCheck" -- no matter
what they do -- and the new implementations that prefer SPF-99 first,
then SPF-16 "SPFCheckNG".

I am an SPF validator.  On day 0, there are very few people publishing
SPF-99 records, and many publishing SPF-16 records.  I have a lot of
mail volume coming in.  What is my incentive to embrace SPFCheckNG?
Please address the latency effects for large mail operators.

I'm an operator of a DNS zone.  I publish TXT and SPF records.  On day
0, there are very few people publishing SPF-99 records.  What is my
incentive to deploy code that aoutomatically increases my storage cost
and my opportunity for bugs, given that everyone who accepts my mail
is satisfied with SPF-16?

I'm an operator of a DNS zone.  On day 0, my zone works.  What is my
incentive to accept a new DNS server software update that makes my
zone broken, given that it was working on day 0-1?

I offer my thanks in advance for your investigation of the answers to
the above.

Best,

A

Most of the latency should be handled be handled in app / on machine
DNS caches.  Add dns hammer support in the caches and almost all
of the rest of the latency is gone.

Given there is code that synthesizes SPF records at query time that
is a essentially a subset of DNS64 code (only looks at answers being
retrieved from zone data).  I would say there are zero storage costs
and the code to do SPF synthesis is simple so there really is
extremely low risk of bugs here.  Would you like to audit it?

DNS64 was 100x more complicated than SPF record synthesis yet we
have RFC's for how to do that.

	so on one hand, you have the second query (load & latency)
	((exactly like a CA lookup))  v.  the RR demux that has to occur
	for type 16.

	sounds like the tradeoff between code complexity and network latency...

	(is there a statement from the "one who _was_ doing something" as to

	Am I missing something?

As John pointed out, support for checking type 99 has decreased and
continues to decrease rather than increase. So waiting longer is not going
to solve the issue.

Putting a statement in an RFC does not mean that the world will
automatically advance towards that particular end state.

Forcing a WG to adopt a position to suit another constituency is not going
to lead them to advocate for that position in deployment constituencies.
Particularly when the original constituency does nothing to advance
deployment.

Hi Jay,

below are my findings from a test I did in May 2008. I'm redoing the
same test next week with the latest Windows 2012R2 and will post the
results here. The zone-transfer issue mentioned in the text below has
been reported to Microsoft and has been fixed soon after.

---- ( Text from May 2008 ) -----

I did some testing with the Windows 2008 DNS Server and if the DNS
Server can work when receiving RRs unknown to this DNS Server from an
other DNS Server by AXFR.

The Windows 2009 DNS Server supports these RRs natively from the GUI or
the Commandline tool (dnscmd.exe):

AFSDB
CNAME
ATMA
A
AAAA
HINFO
ISDN
MX
MG
MB
MINFO
NXT
PTR
KEY
MR
RP
RT
SRV
SIG
TXT
WKS
X25
WINS (link to WINS Forward lookup, non-standard)
WINS-R (link to WINS Reverse lookup, non-standard)
DNAME (only via dnscmd.exe)


Test setup:

Master-DNS: BIND 9.4.3b1
Slave-DNS: Windows 2008 Enterprise Server GA, Windows DNS Server Version
6.0.6001.18000
Queries tested with DIG 9.4.2 WINDOWS

I've only done tests with a few RRs, namely with NAPTR, DNAME, SPF, DS
and DLV.

The results vary between a normal zone refresh and a newly create slave
zone.

When creating the slave zone fresh, all unknown RRs are transferred and
stored:

- -----------
SPF:
Master (BIND):
@               IN SPF "v=spf1 +mx a:mail.strotmann.de/32 -all"

Slave (Windows 2008):

However, the situation is different when doing a incremental (AXFR style
IXFR) zone refresh from the Slave to the master (non-initial update):

NAPTR - shown as "Unknown" in GUI, but shown in correct format in the
zone file on disk. Queries from DIG for these RR are answered correct.

DNAME - shown as "Unknown" in GUI, but shown in correct format in the
zone file on disk.  Queries from DIG for these RR are answered correct.

SPF/DS/DLV - when there is an SPF/DS/DLV record (and probably any other
record unknown to the DNS Server engine) in the zone on the master, the
Windows 2008 DNS Server only stores the new SOA record and does not load
any other RR from the zone. There is no error message in the message log
on this failed attempt to transfer the zone, instead there is an log
message of type "INFORMATION" saying that the zone has been successful
transferred ans written to disk. Queries against the zone are answered
with NOERROR/NODATA except for the SOA record, which is returned as an
answer. Attempts to do an AXFR against the slave zone on the Windows
2008 server are failing.

So initially, when the zone is created, the zonetransfer including
unknown RRs works. Windows 2008 is using a standard AXFR here. However
when at a later time the zone changes, the zonetransfer fails silently
and the slave zone becomes unusable. Windows 2008 DNS Server is using an
"AXFR style IXFR" here.

BIND log entry of initial AXFR from Windows 2008 DNS Server:
25-May-2008 22:42:29.671 client 217.255.147.5#35580: transfer of

There are some GUI tools that don't, there are some that do support SPF
(and other 'new' RR types). Good IETF standards can help customers to
make the right purchase decisions and give incentive to
vendors/programmers to implement support for 'new' RR types.

The current support in GUI tools should not be the guide for a standards
discussion.

As a teacher teaching DNS classes, I found that most of the students
coming to class have never heard of the SPF record (although most of
them deploy SPF with TXT records). The web is full of SPF tutorials
using TXT records that will never be updated.

The new warnings in BIND 9.9 (warns if TXT-SPF is in zone, but no SPF
RR) is a low cost, very effective way to inform DNS admins about the
exsistence of the SPF record, and a warning message in the logs is
incentive for many DNS admins to look up information on SPF records, and
then deploy the SPF record.

Only a few DNS admins have updated to BIND 9.9 by now, I'm curious about
the effect once BIND 9.9 will be in the big Linux server distros
(RedHat, Ubuntu-Server, SLES ...). Maybe the SPF to TXT ration will
change when that happens.

+1 to all your points.

Plus a visible Microsoft DNS support out of the box would also 
encourage Windows tools developers to support it.

Where is Microsoft in these IETF DNS forums? Does anyone have a direct 
contact with the current MS DNS Product Manager?

An awful lot of guessing going on when this can be resolved in no 
time.  Its not just about SPF type99 support, but also RFC3597 and 
future support for new RR type proposals.

However, the interest never disappeared.  The issue is what are we 
waiting for now?  The DNS infrastructure support?  Why it that such a 
problem?  Who goes to these IETF meetings?  Where are the Microsoft 
DNS product managers in these discussions?  What do they have to say?

Thats correct. No one is forced to support RFC 4408bis.  From my 
perspective, there are four basic major changes to BIS - all optional:

   1 - Add Authentication-Result: 5322.header.
   2 - Relax SPF HardFail Policy rejections to Accept-Mark operations.
   3 - If 2 is perform, then add code to separate user failed messages.
   4 - Remove any support for SPF type99 queries and publishing.

For our SPF implementation, we never did #4 for lack of infrastructure 
readiness but are ready to support once the the backbone is ready for 
it. We will probably will do #1 for all non-HARDFAIL result but we 
won't do #2 because it will cause a high redesign cost with #3.  Not 
performing #3 would be a major security loophole is you begin to 
support #2. Until we are ready to do #3 and close that security 
loophole, #2 won't happen.

+1, but the decision makers really haven't ask the main DNS 
constituencies why they have not advanced their (DNS) software or made 
it flexible enough for another operators and administrators to 
add/manage new RR types or capable of passive and transparent handling 
of unknown type recursive passthru queries.

To me, this should be a project leadership responsibility to make sure 
the protocol requirements are realistic are not.

I should add:

     5- Deprecate PTR by removing PTR publishing support

We won't advocate this because for our small to mid size market, this 
is the lowest cost setup for them - using a PTR.  For all our domains, 
we use PTR as well.  No need to change it. This is one of those "Set 
it and Forget it" SPF record setups. Using the PTR was the default 
arrangement for most small/mid operations provided by most if not all 
the SPF Web Wizards.  This was removed in Scott's popular SPF wizard 
but not in other SPF wizards.  Note: The overhead concerns are passe 
with the trend of SMTP receivers doing PTR lookups, thus any 
transaction SPF validator will not contribute to any PTR network overhead.

The dnsext regulars have been denying for years that provisioning is an 
issue, so it's dismaying but not surprising to see that hasn't changed.

Ten years ago when SPF was new, its designers considered and rejected 
using a _spf prefix because so many of the provisioning systems that mail 
managers had to use to provision real mail systems didn't permit 
underscores in names.  That particular bug has been fixed, but support for 
type 99, seven years after the RR was defined, is where the underscores 
were a decade ago.  A few provisioning systems handle it, most don't, so 
in practice people can't use it.  You can tell your students to use it, 
but when they get back to their offices, their system managers will tell 
them sorry, can't do that.  What use is that?

Someone pointed out some mail exchanges earlier this year where users 
asked providers for type 99 support, and the providers said they'd wait to 
see what the IETF did.  This tells us two things: one is that after seven 
years, providers still consider type 99 to be entirely optional, but the 
more important is that adding new RRs to provisioning systems is still 
much too hard.  (If it were just adding three lines to a table, I expect 
the providers would have done so rather than arguing with their users.)

Regards,
John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Taughannock Networks, Trumansburg NY
"I dropped the toothpaste", said Tom, crestfallenly.

PS: Something like my dns extension proposal should allow providers to fix 
the new RR configuration problem once and for all, so I've always been 
surprised at the hostile reception to it.

Will it or can it work with Microsoft DNS servers?  They are part of

Except that as a matter of fact, one of them is very likely to be
needless cost.  That is, you're going to need to cope with the TXT
record _anyway_, because that's what's deployed everywhere.  So you
have to pay cost of code complexity for demuxing no matter what.  The
question is only whether we'll still have the code complexity of
handling two RRTYPEs and have the additional latency of the extra
lookup.  This is exactly the question the WG looked at, and concluded
that it was a bad trade.  This is all in the WG list archives, and you
are making no new argument.

Not to my knowledge.

I don't follow that logic.  I work for a vendor that makes an MTA.  As =
far as I can tell from publicly-accessible docs, it only does type-16 =
today.

If I were to put myself in a product manager's shoes, I don't see any =
reason I'd implement a type-99 check.  Obviously if type-99 was the =
*only* RR available from some significant population of domains, we =
might change our MTA to also do a type-99.  But if everyone makes TXT =
type-16 available in DNS as well, what motivation would we have to do =
type-99 first, or even at all?  Why would we bother with the additional =
overhead?  I mean if you didn't have a type-16 SPF in your DNS, what are =
the odds you have a type-99?

It's not as simple as: "but the code is easy to write".  For one thing =
any functional change in commercial products is far more work and cost =
than just a developer changing some lines of code.  For another, =
customers don't really care about IETF RFC conformance checklists much - =
they care about things working.  Adding processing or delay overhead has =
to provide some new real benefit, for them.  Pain for no gain makes no =
sense, to both vendors and their customers.

And if major MTA vendors and providers only do type-16 checks, what =
motivation is there for people to stop putting type-16 in their DNS?  =
You'd want *everyone* to be able to check your domain's SPF, I would =
think.  Not just those querying for type-99.  Right?

I don't see why not, if Microsoft wanted to implement it.

Actually, it's worse than that.  The SPF rules for handling type 16
and type 99 records are identical, so you have to make the same checks
that there's exactly one record with the SPF prefix tag for type 99
records as you do for type 16.  You pay the demux penalty, such as it
is, for both.

In practice, there are likely to be fewer type 99 records than type
16, but the CPU time for the checks is trivial compared to everything
else a mail server does. We've seen at least one live example of
invalid type 99 records that would fail the checks here in the past
week, so the checks are not wasted effort.

R's,
John

The problem is no one is doing maintenance on some of those tools.
The number of RR types was expected to grow from day one.  New RR
types have been added at a rate of about 1 a year for the entire
history of the DNS.

It doesn't help when companies charge 500% more to allow you to
enter a SPF record.  Yes that is bundled with a whole lot of other
stuff but if all you want is the ability to add SPF it is going to
cost you 500% more.

Part of the problem is people don't know they be being badly treated
by their registrars.  They don't know that there should be AAAA and
DNSSEC support in the GUI's.

If registrars were to lose acceditation if they didn't add support
for a record within 3 years of it being allocated you would see a
big difference.

People keep saying leave it to market forces.  Market force only really
work when the market is properly informed.  The great unwashed out there
are not informed.  The same thing can be said of many of the registrars.

It also tells us if we were to say MUST lookup up SPF then they would add
support.

It's unlikely that it will happen.

Yes.

There are things that can be changed.

You're conflating registrars with DNS providers.

Registrars are agents who maintain database records in a registry on =
behalf of registrants. They have no direct relationship to the DNS.

Name service providers publish zones on behalf of zone managers. Some =
such providers expose provisioning interfaces, and I presume those are =
the interfaces you are lamenting about.

The 2013 ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement mandates DNSSEC and =
IPv6 support for registries that support them, and for registrants that =
request them. Again, this is a database issue. The existence of novel =
RRTypes has no relevance here, until the time where we see RRTypes other =
than A, AAAA, NS and DS provisioned for registrants in the zones =
registries publish.

Note that the context here is gTLDs; ccTLDs make their own arrangements =
with registrars.

DNS providers are not regulated in the sense that gTLD registrars are. =
If you're suggesting that they should be regulated, then I doubt this is =
an appropriate venue for that discussion.

People still have the ability to host their domains themselves.

The word you're looking for is "accreditation", and it comes with a five 
year contract, at least w.r.t. ICANN and its contractual parties, so 
introducing an automatic, and unilateral breach condition would be 
necessary to satisfy your ... hypothetical.

> You're conflating registrars with DNS providers.


Indeed I find myself unclear about the purpose and utility of this 
rather lengthy thread.

Perhaps someone can summarize?

For example does it pertain to some sort of long-term effort at DNS 
enhancement or does it pertain to the document that triggered it, or 
both or neither?

We have statements from people who are involved in the industry concerned
and no reason to believe that they are lying.

This is not a reasonable objection and it is really not at all surprising
that people are getting rude when people are refusing to accept what the WG
considers established facts.

I don't think it was ever about the right technical path. It was about the
DNSEXT group not caring to bother to get their DNSSEC infrastructure
adopted by the constituencies they needed buy in from then trying to make
that effort the problem of the SPF people.

Its a stupid and wrong 'law'.

The deployed base is all that matters because before you get to the 'viral
marketing' network effects give you the 'chicken and egg problem'.

The reason HTTP and the Web took off was because we actually designed it to
take off fast. Meanwhile IPv6 and DNSSEC are still in the same state they
were 15 years ago, on the cusp of deployment in 5 years time. A large part
of the reason has been that the people pushing those initiatives have acted
as if deployment was inevitable.

I ran simulation studies of adoption to work out how to sell the Web.


The companies you cite have no stake in DNSSEC deployment. So why expect
them to favor a technical measure designed to facilitate DNSSEC deployment?

Which is sort of interesting thing to read when we've heard repetitions ad
nauseam that advocate broken design because Microsoft will never implement
anything without being forced to by procurement rules. (IMNSHO the DNSSEC
"support" in 2008 Server is just there to check the boxes for USGOV
procurement rules. I think. Noone reasonably sane runs DNSSEC on that. )

Given,=20

* that we're in DNSEXT,=20

* that there exists a large (according to themselves) body of
  people/organisations that are unaware/unable of proper DNS=20
  operation and standards,

Yes. There is, because there must be, a continous effort to channel and
guide the lemming population to the proper cliff. The current thread
can be viewed as a tactical operation in the overall strategy.

The document that trigged this is indeed relevant, because it is an
especially clear case of the ignorance that threatens DNS.

Sorry John I think Mark is quite right.  The position of "we're waiting =
for the IETF" can only be interpreted one way - if the IETF mandates the =
SPF record lookup then those manufacturers will implement that.  As you =
and others have pointed out it is most likely a trivial code change =

it and an IETF mandate is as good a reason as there is.

this would strengthen the IETF not weaken it.

I'm sure you have plenty of examples to cite, where such changes in 
standards language have brought about changes in market behavior? 
Please do cite them.

Believe it or not, there are some people who understand the DNS
perfectly well, but see it as a tool to get work done rather than an
arena to score debating points.

Jay,

Sorry my query wasn't clear enough.

I'm not asking about the excuses that a couple of implementers are 
using, many years after a specification was published -- for why they 
have not yet implemented a portion of the spec, 7 years after it was 
published.

You are proposing some language changes and you are claiming that the 
changes will produce much greater implementation.

So I am asking when this has occurred in the past, which would therefore 
provide an empirical basis for believing it likely to happen now.

The point behind the query is to solicit some actual evidence that might 
reasonably counter the 7-year adoption failure of the SPF RR.  Evidence, 
that is, that goes beyond /non-implementation/ excuses.

I don't know whether there are many examples or not, but ISC and
Nominum seem to add new RRtypes to BIND whenever an RFC is published
defining them, regardless of who employs the authors of the RFC.
Last I checked, variants of BIND ran a large proportion of publicly
visible DNS servers on the Internet.

So we do have at least an existence proof that there are vendors
that proactively respond to standards.  Perhaps this is a way
to differentiate themselves from other vendors that use "ignore"
to complement an "embrace-extend-extinguish" strategy, but I don't
really care why -- the fact is examples exist.

I agree that the dynamics of "build it and they will come" are not
always applicable.  But this dynamic is also not always completely
inapplicable.

Dave, I think you are being unfair to those implementors.  Almost all =
implementors I know take the approach that they only implement what they =
have to implement to make a "minimum viable product".  RFC4408 allowed =
them to only implement TXT and say "Yes, we support SPF and yes we are =
standards compliant". =20

Seven years later and nothing has changed that makes their product any =
less viable so there's been no reason for them to change.  RFC6686 has =
even reduced any future need to change.  To me there's been no failure =
by implementors and no excuses are necessary because their behaviour has =
been *entirely rational*. And I might add, *entirely predictable*.

Issue an RFC that requires type 99 and they will be entirely rational =
again and ask "Do we want to remain standards compliant and how easy is =
it to remain so?".  The answer to the second part we know is "trivial".

My unfairness is in pressing you to substantiate the premise for your
original assertion. I've explained the request twice.

After two iterations, you still have not responded to that.

One last time:  when has revising a spec altered the further use of 
features that had so far gained little adoption?

Yes, and virtually every DNS server system actually does in fact cope
with TYPE99 records.  That is nowise an argument that saying, "Use
TYPE99, darnit," will actually change the world.

I find myself disagreeing with Dave way more often than not, but on
this point I think he's quite right.  We have a functioning system
that's actually deployed, as far as anyone has argued.  It is far from
perfect, but it works.  Those who think that the spec ought to be
changed to reflect some other desired behaviour are responsible to
provide evidence that the mere publication of an RFC -- one that
recommends against the overwhelming widely-deployed practice in favour
of something else -- are indeed responsible to show why that
publication would have the requisite effect.  Even one example would
suffice.  Like Dave, I'm having a hard time coming up with one.

As I've said before, I'm mighty unhappy about this.  But the world is
as it is.  Rather than fighting old battles, I'd like us to focus on
making this never happen again.

Best,

A

The original version of HTTP was a deployed, functioning system that =

I suspect this won't matter. People's minds are made up.

Surely we're not so wedded to the in-band signalling of DNS that we
can't distinguish beween management of the DNS itself, and
applications using the DNS?  I studied the Sophists, too, but I don't
think they tell us how to work.

Actually, mine isn't.  That's an interesting example.  What would be
helpful to me is an understanding (and I really don't have any) of why
you think the analogy actually shows we ought to move to type-99
instead ot sticking with type-16.

As I understand the http/1.0 vs /1.1 trade-off, the 1.0 server
suffered latency disadvantages as opposed to 1.1.  Therefore, there
was an automatic incentive to support 1.1 as soon as possible, even if
no client supported it, because for any client that supported it there
was an automatic advantage in latency.  At the same time, there was an
incentive for every client to support 1.1, because if the server did
there was a latency advantage.  And because of the signalling
available by virtue of the header, http sessions could downgrade
without starting all over.  I'm completely prepared to be corrected on
any of this, since I wasn't involved and when it was an issue I was
only remotely involved in the effects (i.e. I was an http enthusiast
as someone who thought the web was cool, but I was a philosophy
student.  I thought smarter people than I would fix it, and they did).

The proposal in the SPF case doesn't seem to match this.  Because DNS
is connectionless, we don't have a way to downgrade depending on what
the querying agent says it can do.  The counter-examples -- DNAME and
DNSSEC are the obvious cases -- actually show what a big deal this
is.  So the transition strategy in this case involves every actor
either paying a cost up front with no direct benefit, or else a
strategy that prefers the pre-transition state with the desired state
a second-best alternative.  This seems like a significant difference
to me.  What did I miss?

Best,

A

1.  Given how poor the adoption of DNSSec continues to be, are you sure 
you want to offer that as an exemplar of success?

2.  Given how problematic /any/ adoption of DNSSec was back then and 
that it only started to gain significant traction after massive 
additional work and in much more recent years, I guess I don't see how 
this qualifies as the type of example I was asking for.

Err, what?

The question posed ("one last time") was:

"when has revising a spec altered the further use of features that had =
so far gained little adoption?"

I was answering that question. The fact that it is specific to features =
of the DNS has more to do with what was off the top of my head than =
being wedded to "in-band signaling of the DNS" (whatever that means).

The point here is that protocols evolve all the time as we learn what's =
a good idea and what isn't. You (and others) appear to be arguing that =
protocols that get deployed and gain some level of acceptance, even as =
"Experimental", are cast in stone and that the IETF must be forbidden =
from modifying them unless there is explicit evidence that markets will =
_immediately_ seize upon those modifications. I think that view is =
broken.

You almost got it Andrew, it's the answer to the one question - "If we =
mandate type 99 then what motivates users at both ends to implement it?" =
with due consideration to any difficulties they might encounter.

The motivation for implementors would be to stay standards compliant and =
there would be few difficulties because the code changes are minor.

The motivation for end users would also be to stay standards compliant =
and once the implementors support it then there would be little =
difficulty.


There's a simple, rational, causal chain here

- users don't use type 99 because implementors don't support it
- implementors don't support type 99 because they don't have to
- they don't have to because the RFC says they don't have to

Change the root premise and the motivation is there for the rest to flow =
through with no real barriers in the way.

That's not the issue here.  The issue here is a claim that merely by 
changing the normative text, a mechanism will get widely implemented, in 
spite of

    a) a long track-record of not getting implemented, and

    b) no incremental value to the implementer.

That's not 'learn[ing] what's a good idea'.

It's merely an attempt to manipulate through a documentation artifact.

No, it's the converse.  When protocols are deployed and widely
accepted, if someone wants to make changes that have NO OPERATIONAL
ADVANTAGES WHATSOEVER, it's up to the proponents to explain why the
world will adopt them.  King Canute and all that.

The practical operational advantages of http/1.0 and /1.1 over /0.9
were obvious.  The advantages of SPF type 99 over type 16 were purely
hypothetical in 2006 and equally hypothetical now.

R's,
John

That's just not a motivation.  There is _no_ business case to conform
to any standard unless it's mandated in RFPs.  This very fact is what
allows the IETF to continue on its merry way despite the desire of
Official Bodies to try to legislate the value of pi and other such
things.  There is no first-, or even any-mover advantage to changing
from type-16 to type-99 in the scenario you provide, except for people
who are otherwise regulated.

Your "users" chain is wrong.  There are _two_ kinds of users, and both
ends need to do something before there is any value at all.  That's
the problem, and why the comparison to http 1.0 vs 1.1 seems to me to
be troublesome.

More generally, and not aimed at Jay in particular: without trying to
come across as impatient or dismissive, I have to say that I'm getting
worn out by arguments rehashing exactly the issues that were hashed,
mostly by me in the hot seat, on the SPFBIS list.  I tried _all_ these
arguments, and I conceded in the end because I didn't have a leg to
stand on.  If people have a new one to present, I'd be delighted to
encounter it.  But since I'm bearing all the wounds from the SPFBIS
battle, it'd be nice if erstwhile supporters of the position I tried,
with little help, to defend would at least work through the arguments
that were already presented.  This isn't religion: I'm as sickend by
this use of TXT as anyone.  But the world makes us as much as we make
the world, and I think the TXT fight _in this case_ is lost.  I also
think that NATs are a fact of the world, that NAT64/DNS64 is better
than NAT-PT, and so on.  We've reached sufficient thrust.  Do we
really want to stand around where the pig is going to land?

Best,

A

At the risk of ridicule, and in the interest of potentially useful results:

Why not deprecate TXT, or at least abandon the current TXT and introduce
a new TXT code point? And, as each iteration gets trashed, move on to the
next one?

It's not like there is a shortage of type code values, and it is not like
the RDATA of TXT is complicated, or in any way is required to be unique.
SPF is, after all, exactly the same as TXT except for being different.

If SPF want to take over TXT, let them. We can all move to TXT2, until
someone ruins it, and then we can introduce TXT3, etc.

I realize it is rather silly, but if it works, and it disambiguates things,
the fact that it _is_ silly is perhaps not the greatest reason for not
doing it.

This might provide a small clue to the next group of other-protocol folk,
that using TXT instead of asking for their own RRTYPE, is foolish, unwise,
and likely to result in having a new RRTYPE lobbed at them in retaliation.
:-)

(My two cents, late to the discussion.)

Bill, I wasn't asking an academic question about global, theoretical 
absolutes.  I was asking about IETF experience... with IETF documents.

Let's try to stay focused on the issue at hand.

I'm not sure I fully understand the latency argument here.
Wouldn't you just fire off the SPF-99 and TXT-16 queries
asynchronously? Waiting for two answers shouldn't be much longer
than waiting for one answer when done in parallel.

And long term, wouldn't there be benefits from not having to sift
through any other TXT records you receive for the ones that look
like SPF records?

If your DNS library permits, sure, you can do them in parallel.  But
experience has shown that due to cruddy middleboxes or the like, type
99 queries get lost and time out more than you might think.  If the
type 16 query doesn't give you a usable SPF record, you have to wait
for the type 99 query.  People who run large mail servers tell me the
slowdown is noticable.

In a word, no.  The SPF rules for handling type 16 and type 99 records
were identical: there has to be exactly one record that starts
"v=spf1".  You have to look at all the records to be sure that there
aren't multiple v=spf1 records (which invalidates all of them) and
once you're doing that, ignoring the ones that don't have the right
prefix is about three lines of code in a multi thousand line library.

R's,
John

They have a operational advantage especially over the long term or
if you consider the overall maintenance of DNS records for a site.
This has been demostrated several times.  Do you think we would be
having this argument if there was not a operational advantage?

Well if we're going to risk being ridiculed, I'll go all-in. :)

At one time I had thought along the same lines - not to deprecate TXT, =
but rather to just say: "let's go pre-allocate a dozen new RR Types, and =
tell DNS servers to implement them, with undefined-text-content, and we =
give them random acronym names, and future IETF mechanisms can go use =
them on a first-come-first-served basis; and those future IETF specs can =
figure out a backronym expansion for the acronyms, and define what the =
text-content formatting is, etc."

But from reading the problems SPF listed in RFC 6686 and the emails from =
SPFBIS folks, I don't think that would solve the problem, even if by =
some miracle all DNS servers on the planet supported the new RRs.  =
There're just too many other DNS-related-things involved. (DNS servers =
and registries, and their provisioning interfaces, and DNS =
resolvers/caches, firewalls, CGN middleboxes, client libraries and their =
APIs...)

So here's the to-be-ridiculed part...
I suggest a new strategy: let the wookie win.  Instead of denying their =
existence, accept that there will be more folks who want to deploy new =
DNS-using applications quickly and without waiting for the entire =
Internet of DNS-related-things to change.  It's going to happen whether =
we want it to or not.  So we might as well try to fix whatever problems =
we envision it will cause, and provide guidance of how to use TXT the =
best way.  Right now RFC 5507 only warns folks against it, but I don't =
see a "if you are going to use TXT anyway, then do it this way" type =
thing.  Nor do I see an IANA registry of prefix names, nor an RFC =
describing a general solution to the wildcarding problem when prefixing. =
 I think those things are possible, maybe.

We can require abstinence or we can give out condoms.  Which one do you =
think is more likely to prevent spread of disease?

There're just too many other DNS-related-things involved. (DNS servers =
and registries, and their provisioning interfaces, and DNS =
resolvers/caches, firewalls, CGN middleboxes, client libraries and their =
APIs...)

Fortunately, for MOST such boxes, they do actually handle unknown =
resource records right (we've been testing that with Netalyzr for almost =
forever, with type 169 on transport, and 1169 on probes to configured =
recursive resolvers).  Namely because the protocol is actually designed =
right in that respect: its actually easier to handle ALL types in a =
generic manner after special casing the FEW types that allow name =
compression.

Thus it really is that the major problem is provisioning, not transport, =
of unknown DNS types.

This is indeed interesting data that "complicates" the IMNSHO
sweeping statements of 6686. The provisioning problem remains, but the
infrastructure is not as broken as stated.

There are DNS servers that completely support arbitary types.  And
have for over a decade.  Before that they could resolve and cache
arbitary types and have done so for over 20 years.  About the only
one that doesn't is that shipped by Microsoft.

There are DNS resolvers that support arbitary types and have been
able to for over 20 years.  This is basic RFC 1034 functionality.
Unfortunately Microsoft failed to read that part of RFC 1034 or
failed to understand it when they were developing their resolver
code.

Most firewalls don't care diddly squat about DNS record types.  For
those that do blocking unknown types in firewalls does diddly squat
for security and just cause problems for everyone.  Just turn the
DNS checking off.

NAT (carrier grade or otherwise) don't care about DNS message
content. 

Then there are provisioning systems which haven't been upgraded
since Noah was a boy and you don't have to use anyway.

I suspect one of the problems here is that in the universe of mediocrity =
that is the underlying infrastructure upon which applications that use =
the DNS rely, you have a bell curve of sorts of what works and what =
doesn't.  As a result, when you get into arguments about whether a =

and say e.g., "see, doesn't work - we have to use TXT". They're not =
necessarily wrong, but it does suggest that the ossification of the DNS =
is pretty much complete...

Actually, I know of at least one CGN that does.

But it doesn't really matter...  I think you're missing the point.  The =
point isn't that NONE support unknown RRs, the point is that SOME do =
not.  Of course a lot of things do support unknown RR types.=20

So if you're a developer of some new thing, and you want everyone, =
everywhere, to be able to use your new thing, would you choose to use a =
new RR knowing some of your potential users can't use that?  Or would =
you choose to use something you know works for everyone everywhere?

It's a very hard thing to ignore a potential part of your target user =
base, or hope to force them to replace equipment or change DNS =
registries just to use your new thing.  It's a barrier to adoption most =
developers would want to avoid, I would think.

I know the guy who wrote 6686 and contributed some of the data.  We
were entirely aware that DNS servers other than Microsoft's have
little trouble with type 99, and the main problems are provisioning
software and middleboxes.

Why do you assume otherwise?

Having thought about this for a few days I've changed my mind and I'm =
happy to see SPF(99)  go.  What clinched it for me was this note from =
Andrew above as it helped me realise my issue is with the misuse of TXT =
and not the solution of a new type specific to SPF.  So let's let it go =
and I'm sure with a bit of thought we can find a way to fix the =
overloading of TXT and try to sell that as a better migration path for =
"v=3Dspf1" in TXT than SPF(99) ever was.

=3D  We know the issues can be summarised as:

1.  The key benefits people find from using TXT are
- it is well supported
- it is free form so any experimentation is possible and no standards =
body engagement is needed

2.  The key issues with the use of TXT are
- people not using prefixes and so conflating various uses (and as =
Hadriel points out, no prefix registry)
- the wildcard issue, which I'm going to restate as how to define a =
policy at one level that applies to lower levels, is a key reason for =
not wanting to use prefixes.


=3D So here's an example solution (and I mean an example since I'm sure =
there is a lot more to consider):

3.  Create a new generic record for free form policy data that must be =
prefixed by protocol.  For example:

_spf	.example.com.	POL	"a:mail.example.com -all"

If we provide that one record then anyone can use it for any policy info =
without further need to change the DNS.  To me that seems much more =
utilitarian than a protocol specific RR.


=3D A solution for the wildcard issue is a bit more complex, but here's =
an example

4.  Add an rdata field to the POL record that if set to "*" (asterisk) =
applies this policy to the next level

_spf.example.com. 	POL	*	"a:mail.example.com -all"

This record is then used to synthesise the POL record in exactly the =
same way that a wildcard is.

5.  Or we could add a record under each sub-domain that refers back up a =
level:

_spf.sub.example.com.	POLPTR	example.com.

Dear Jay,

The current SPF specification may require receivers to emit as many as =
222 DNS transactions in an effort to aggregate required data.  In =
contrast, a well considered APL scheme should offer the needed data =
within one RRset transaction in binary form to support a store and =
forward protocol.

Running complex scripts just above DNS is a security risk, especially =
when it represents experimentation where support is often limited a few =
advocates.=20

A prefix approach kills wildcard schemes.  Since overwhelming use of SPF =
establishes outbound address ranges for an email domain, TXT represents =
a remarkably inefficient approach.  Even the policy "all" is largely =
ignored.  DNS was never intended to offer heavily formatted textual data =
in the manner of HTTP.  Bulky data requires a reliable transport that =
introduce significant delay.  This would be silly since that is what is =
expected of the message transport.  In other words, bulk data is being =
carried by the wrong transport.

Why? If POL is an alias for TXT, this disrupts _dmarc, _adsp, _atps that =
convey concise and small amounts of data at a prefix.

sub.example.com could offer authoritative  policy for sub.example.com?  =
atps offers authorization for a list of domains using a hash label list. =
 Both small and fast.=20

An interesting point of view, but orthogonal to my proposal.  People are =

whether or not this usage is a good idea but how we tidy split out some =
of that usage into a more manageable form.

It's not an alias for TXT, it's a semantically different record.  =
Disruption is prevented by use of a prefix registry.

What are those?

 atps offers authorization for a list of domains using a hash label =
list.  Both small and fast.=20

The hashed list of labels is only appropriate in ATPS because a Verifier =
has a signature and wants to check the originator of that signature.  =
That's quite different from this case where the SPF verifier has an =
email from sub.example.com and wants to know what policy to apply.  It =
can't just take a punt that the policy to use is that of example.com and =
then construct a hash of that and check to see if it is listed.

BTW the irony of ATPS using a TXT record for this hashed label list may =
have escaped you.

Hello,

I posted message to the IETF mailing list about RFC 5507 issues 
relating to draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis-19 ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg81885.html ).

As a note to Ted Lemon I would appreciate if discussion of the topic 
on dnsext@ietf.org could be considered as off-topic.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

dnsext is a discussion list for a closed working group.   If members of the=

the IETF mailing list, not on the dnsext mailing list.   I have been follow=

If it's prefixed, what's the advantage over TXT other than it isn't
TXT?  Once word gets out about it, I'd expect people to load it up
with all of the junk that people load into TXT.  You can be sure that
some bright bulb will use it without a prefix, arguing that's OK
because all of the other uses are prefixed so this won't collide.

This seems awfully complicated, and would require non-trivial extra
code in every authoritative name server.

Seems to me that if we could provision new RRTYPEs with less pain,
they already do what we want, don't need extra demultiplexing, and
has predictable and useful wildcard behavior.  

Or if you want to open up the guts of the DNS, just make this work:

_prefix.*.foo.example.  TXT  "stuff about foo"

I figure it shouldn't take more than a decade to discover all of the
weird ways it interacts with NSEC3.

R's,
John

Isn't that just TXT with a new name?  Why not just stick to TXT type-16?

That requires DNS server code to change, right?  That feels like a high =
barrier.

Thinking out loud, why couldn't we do this:

1) The IETF asks IANA to create a registry for name tokens, for use as =
domain name label prefixes, and "v=3D<name>" in TXT RDATA.

2) We pre-reserve the token "iana", which means we reserved a label =
prefix of "_iana", as well as "v=3Diana" as the first chars of the TXT =
RDATA.

3) We define an IETF RFC for this new "IANA" application, such that it =
is intended for other TXT-using applications to use, for the purpose of =
wildcarding and redirection.  So future apps don't need to re-do SPF's =
redirection stuff, but can instead use this new RFC's ABNF and rules to =
get redirection as well as wildcard support.  More importantly, it =
prevents cluttering of the apex.  The specific apps use their own =
registered name tokens for app-specific RDATA, but "iana" helps them for =
cases as shown below...

   *.example.com.                 MX      10      a.example.com
   *.example.com.                 TXT     "v=3Diana =
wildcard=3D_iana.example.com"
   _qux.example.com               TXT     "<qux-specific content>"
   _foo._iana.example.com.        TXT     "v=3Dfoo <foo-specific =
content>"
   _bar._iana.example.com.        TXT     "v=3Dbar <bar-specific =
content>"
   _zoo._iana.example.com.        TXT     "v=3Diana =
redirect=3D_zoo.pwned.example.net"

This second "*.example.com" wildcard record is a normal TXT wildcard =
record, and thus causes a synthesized TXT RR to be returned for name =
queries where no name exists.  The returned RR is exactly what it is =
today for TXT RRs: the contents of the RDATA shown above.

There is NO change to DNS servers or client libraries required =
whatsoever.

So a client querying for "_qux.example.com" gets back "<qux-specific =
content>" as today.

But a client querying "_foo.nonameexists.example.com" on the above would =
get back "v=3Diana wildcard=3D_iana.example.com".

The specific FOO application (not DNS) sees that, and if it supports our =
new RFC, knows to generate a new query for the wildcarded-to name, but =
with its specific application prefix added in front.  So it would now =
query "_foo._iana.example.com" and get its rdata content.

This would of course cause FOO to do two DNS queries, but only for cases =
where a wildcard is used.  DNS servers could (optionally) optimize to =
reduce it to one answer if they support this new "iana" RFC as well, by =
synthesizing the final answer.  But if they don't it sill works.

The only difference between "wildcard=3D" and "redirect=3D" is that =
"wildcard=3D<target>" makes the app prepend its name token prefix again =
to the identified target domain-spec, whereas in "redirect=3D<target>" =
it does not prepend its name token prefix to the target domain-spec.=20

Why do all that above?  To keep too many TXT RRs from cluttering up the =
apex, while still letting them have wildcard support.  And by reserving =
our own "iana" application ABNF and use, we give sanctioned guidance on =
how new apps can do this without screwing it up for everyone else, and =
let that portion possibly be integrated in DNS servers someday.

See my answer to John for the answers to those.

I really don't think we should be getting into defining the structure of =

That's the whole point.  People are already loading up TXT with lots of =
stuff, we can't stop that, but we can tidy it up, make it more =
manageable and reduce unnecessary data being transferred.  Adding this =
is only going to help.

Not in an RFC they won't as we can control that.  Perhaps in practice =
yes but they can omit prefixes on SRV records and that didn't stop that =
RR.  Would you be happier if we renamed the record for PREfixed TeXT ~ =
PRETXT ?

This is *exactly* the same as existing wildcard support but with a =
different syntax and a prefix.  So not that complicated.  Not trivial =
no, but worth the pain.  It's also  a mechanism that has possible use in =
other new RRs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but every DNS implementation already supports =
wildcarding.

> Or if you want to open up the guts of the DNS, just make this work:
>=20

That's silly as you know.

But what I do think we should open up is whether wildcarding is enough.  =
As we know the point is to save people from the pain and waste of having =
to mirror RRs all over the place and the inherent dangers of missing one =
out.  But wildcarding only flows down and stops at the zone cut.  =
Perhaps we need to consider either a mechanism that doesn't stop at the =
zone cut (which radically changes server design) or a flow up mechanism.

Ted Lemon asked, when we shut down the DNSEXT WG, how long it'd be
before a new one started up.  I pooh poohed this, but the above sure
sounds to me like "DNSng" and "BoF fodder".

No, I am not willing to chair the BoF.  But I'll show up if someone
organizes it.

If someone doesn't want to follow a new RFC, then they don't.  That's up =

it, they get the benefits it provides.  Even binary-rdata folks could =
follow this new RFC though... "v=3Diana " is just a sequence of octets =
after all. :)


> That would certainly be a workable solution fi you ignore my concerns =
on defining the structure I mention above.  The difference between that =
and what I suggested is that you've moved the wildcard into the data and =
the processing of the wildcard into the app not the server.  However, I =

way forward.

Yes, complex processing =3D bad.  NAPTR is complex, and it's motivating =
use-cases aren't as popular to begin with. (Although as an aside, in my =
particular world NAPTR gets used a lot)

I don't think this would be as complex though.  And if an app doesn't =
need the redirection portion, they don't implement it.  If they do need =
it, the SPF-style processing for it seems like a pretty simple one, and =
that's all I'm proposing for redirection.  The wildcarding portion is a =
bit more tricky, in the sense that a newly defined application can't =
know whether it needs wildcard support or not really, afaict; so if the =
app clients don't implement it then folks will continue to fill the apex =
with app-specific records.  But that's true no matter what we do.  At =
least by defining a way for it to work, we make it possible to do it in =
a better "standard" way, and it's possible for the DNS server folks to =
eventually implement support for it too and avoid double-queries.

The major advantage of keeping with TXT over a new POL RR is there's no =
new RR required.  Getting a new RR usable everywhere on the planet seems =
to be a big challenge.  And it's not under the app-developer's control =
to affect that type of change, or timeframe for it.
