The DNSEXT Working Group has assumed the RFCs and drafts of both the
DNSSEC and DNSIND working groups. DNS is originally specified in
RFC's 1034 and 1035, with subsequent updates. Within the scope of
this WG are protocol issues, including message formats, message
handling, and data formats. New work items and milestones may be added
from time-to-time with the approval of the Working Group and the IESG.
Issues surrounding the operation of DNS, recommendations concerning
the configuration of DNS servers, and other issues with the use of the
protocol are out of this Working Group's charter. These issues are
considered in other venues, such as operational issues in the DNS
Operations Working Group.
Broad topics under consideration in DNSEXT are dynamic update, notify,
zone transfers, security and adjustments to address the requirements
of IPv6 addressing. Security topics, mostly inherited from the
erstwhile DNS Security Extensions Working Group, will be addressed in
cooperation with the DNS Operations Working Group.
The principal task within this Working Group is to advance several
documents describing proposed extensions to DNS. The current list of
documents under consideration for advancement is:
Title RFC Status
DNS Server MIB Extensions RFC1611 Proposed
DNS Resolver MIB Extensions RFC1612 Proposed
Serial Number Arithmetic RFC1982 Proposed
Incremental Zone transfer RFC1995 Proposed
Notify RFC1996 Proposed
DNS SRV service location RFC2052 Experimental
Dynamic Update RFC2136 Proposed
Security for Dynamic Update RFC2137 Proposed
Clarification to DNS RFC2181 Proposed
Negative Caching RFC2308 Proposed
DNS Security Extensions RFC2535 Proposed
DSA KEYs and SIGs RFC2536 Proposed
RSA KEYs and SIGs RFC2537 Proposed
Storing Certificates RFC2538 Proposed
Diffie-Hellman Keys RFC2539 Proposed
Extensions to DNS0 RFC2671 Proposed
Non-Terminal DNS names RFC2672 Proposed
Binary Labels RFC2673 Proposed
Other specific work items are:
o TSIG - transaction signatures in (dnsind-tsig-xx.txt)
o TKEY - Secret Key establishment for DNS (dnsind-tkey-xx.txt)
o Securing dynamic update (dnsind-simple-secure-update-xx.txt)
o Protocol clarifications and corrections for DNSSEC

o Clarifications for IANA in DNS assignments
(draft-ietf-dnsind-iana-dns-xx.txt)
o Documentation of the zone transfer protocol (AXFR)
o Retirement of DNS MIB's RFC's
New work items may be added from time-to-time with the approval of the
Working Group and the IESG.

Interoperability reports
------------------------
General remark: IETF interop tests do not name vendors. (see list)
RFC1886
Vladimir Ksinant
Two implementation are inter-operable
Goals:
- Advance RFC1886
Non goals:
- no benchmark
- Two tests: Definition of AAAA and IP6.INT
Features tested:
A. AAAA
....
Test results
- two servers where fully inter-operable
- two resolvers have identical and correct behaviour
- One server partially conformed
Mailing list: rfc1886@nic.fr
www.ipv6.6wind.com/standard/testRFC1886.nic.fr
Comment:
Erik Nordman: Merge to one document.
DS interop test, Russ Mundy/Sam Weiler.
Non complete tests of two implementation. Some of the results maybe implementation problems others may be specification problems.
Need more research.
Sam Weiller
One issue should the TTL be chained down to effect RRs lower in the
Derek Atkins:
Do it within the zones.
Austein question answered by Mundy: DS seem to solve the issues it was designed for: reducing parent-child interactions
DNSSEC@cafax.se 'meeting'
Ed Lewis lots of people are restarting their experiments.
Chairs invite people to publish specific reports and write-ups of workshops and interop tests.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WG documents discussion
-----------------------
Comments where invited for all documents.
Relevant comments below.
draft-ietf-dnsext-ad-bit-is-secure-06.txt
Rob Austein: One of the reason that this is staying is maybe that there is more information needed.
Suggestion if ad=on then additional info can be found in the OPT RR.
Steve Bellovin: If you trust the the entity that sets the AD bit you have to setup a trusted/secure path between the resolver and the entity. The document must add that as requirement.
on the mdns-10.txt
Audience: Why both mdns and discover?
chairs: because they are different
unknown-rrs-03.txt
Rob Austein: rfc2535 down-case names in rdata. unknown-rrs-03 forbids this. This can be dealt with in DNSSEC but it needs to be clarified.
draft-ietf-dnssext-opt-in-02.txt Roy Arends
Changes in opt-in
OPT-IN now only on delegation points.
- All authoritative RR types must be signed.
- The parent is not authoritative for delegation NS RRs.
Changes in security model
- 2535 NXT proves existence.
- OPT in: lack of NXT bit means no secure delegations.
OPT-IN Corner Cases.
No document yet.
- OPT-IN vs AD-bit
+ AD bit must be cleared on a negative OPT-IN response.
+ This need clarification
Caching Responses
- NXT+SIG RRs are statements on security of a response.
+ Do not cache them individually.
+ Cache them as properties of a response.
There are a number of a caching problems. The issues are really implementation issues.
- OPT-IN NXT should really only be cached as a property of another RR.
Concerns raised
DNSSEC is already complex. Does OPT-IN justify the added complexity.
Where is the resolver implementation?
If DS turns out to be stable there is little time for OPT-in left. There is a opt-in resolver (and server) implementation. Expected to be in bind soon.
There are implementations of opt-in: 2 servers and 1 resolver
Nordmark: Is anybody working on the additional implementation complexity?
Conrad: OPT in is implemented according to 01. The caching behaviour has not be implemented.
Vixie: ISC has no policy on OPT in. Good code will be put in.
Austein: Treading the NXT RRs as properties of RRset. There are issues with the TTL.
Bush: Current discussion is around corner cases. Both DS and OPT-IN need flag-date; DS signing testing will continue. By and of August there should be a document set for DS. Then estimate how long additional OPT-IN would take. So mid September an assessment will be made if to OPT-IN will be going into the document set.
dnsext-dns-threats-01
Threat model not finished yet.
Bellovin: There are a lot of '*' MX records.
Typos can lead to email going to the wrong place. That is a problem that should be dealt with.
Conrad: Implementing the validation was to difficult with bit-string labels. The solution needs on-line signing. There is an implementation that does that now bit-stings have gone.
Atkins: <scribe: missed his remark>
tkey-renewal-01
Yuji Kamite presented the draft changes.
- renewal process a phase 2 process
- defined adoption message to begin using new key. Waiting for IANA considerations need
- Only DH will not use GSS. DH will be mandatory
no comments.
dnsext-dhcid-rr-05
Ted Lemon: DHCID language is correct, DHCPD will be modified; redundant text will be removed.
kitamura-ipv6-name-auto-reg-01
Kitamura San presented abstract of draft
There is an implementation.
Keep discussing and revising.
Goal is informational RFC.
No comments.
draft-dnsext-opcode-discover-00.txt
Bill Manni<ng:
- Draft documents a problem with queries that get multiple responses in a multicast environment.
Looking for experimental status.
Bush/Austin: Is this to be used on anycast? If this is to be used in an anycast situation the security section needs to be updated.
Anycast situation need clarification
