Indicating Resolver Support of DNSSEC

Overview

RFC 3225, “Indicating Resolver Support of DNSSEC”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2001 by D. Conrad. It has since been updated by RFC 4033, RFC 4034, RFC 4035. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

In order to deploy DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) operationally, DNSSEC aware servers should only perform automatic inclusion of DNSSEC RRs when there is an explicit indication that the resolver can understand those RRs. This document proposes the use of a bit in the EDNS0 header to provide that explicit indication and describes the necessary protocol changes to implement that notification. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
