Dynamic Delegation Discovery System Part Three: The Domain Name System Database
RFC 3403, “Dynamic Delegation Discovery System Part Three: The Domain Name System Database”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2002 by M. Mealling. It obsoletes RFC 2168, RFC 2915. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Database using the Domain Name System (DNS) as a distributed database of Rules. The Keys are domain-names and the Rules are encoded using the Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) Resource Record (RR). Since this document obsoletes RFC 2915, it is the official specification for the NAPTR DNS Resource Record. It is also part of a series that is completely specified in "Dynamic Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Part One: The Comprehensive DDDS" (RFC 3401). It is very important to note that it is impossible to read and understand any document in this series without reading the others. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
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.
