DNAME Redirection in the DNS
RFC 6672, “DNAME Redirection in the DNS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2012 by S. Rose, W. Wijngaards. It updates RFC 3363. It obsoletes RFC 2672. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The DNAME record provides redirection for a subtree of the domain name tree in the DNS. That is, all names that end with a particular suffix are redirected to another part of the DNS. This document obsoletes the original specification in RFC 2672 as well as updates the document on representing IPv6 addresses in DNS (RFC 3363). [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.
