The Role of Wildcards in the Domain Name System
RFC 4592, “The Role of Wildcards in the Domain Name System”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2006 by E. Lewis. It updates RFC 1034, RFC 2672. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This is an update to the wildcard definition of RFC 1034. The interaction with wildcards and CNAME is changed, an error condition is removed, and the words defining some concepts central to wildcards are changed. The overall goal is not to change wildcards, but to refine the definition of RFC 1034. [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.
