RFC 4074, “Common Misbehavior Against DNS Queries for IPv6 Addresses”, is an Informational document published in June 2005 by Y. Morishita, T. Jinmei. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
There is some known misbehavior of DNS authoritative servers when they are queried for AAAA resource records. Such behavior can block IPv4 communication that should actually be available, cause a significant delay in name resolution, or even make a denial of service attack. This memo describes details of known cases and discusses their effects. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
