DNS Working Group Action List

The list was last updated 24 November 2006

Action:	Action On:	Description:	Status:
48.1	Peter Koch	Collect experiences with lameness problems due to vanished customers/AXFR sources. Initiate document on (best) current practice and "wishlist" for support by TLD and IN-ADDR.ARPA registries.	Ongoing
48.2	Mans Nilsson	Write proposal to support integrity checked/source authenticated DNS zone transfers to ns.ripe.net in case it is secondary for an IN-ADDR.ARPA zone. Take into account key generation an distribution as well as integration with the current automated system.
48.3	Olaf Kolkman	Send to the mailing list (a pointer to) the current list of checks applied to IN-ADDR.ARPA zones before reverse delegation is activated or updated. Initiate review of those checks and propose, if necessary, updates and/or additional tests.
48.4	David Malone	Write up a draft RIPE Document summarising the observations made regarding AAAA resolution problems. Circulate to the list, initiate discussion what to do, i.e. who to approach with the list of errors/problems seen.
49.1	Peter Koch	Propose requirements for the DNS samples and statistics to be collected by a potential successor hostcount.
49.2	Jim Reid	Coordinate the production of a RIPE Document based on Fernando Garcia's DNS Server Migration document. Investigate impact of TTL on NS RRs in TLD (delegation) zones, work towards recommendations document. (Volunteer team: Geoff Sisson, Patrik Faltstrom, Bruce Campbell, Daniel Diaz, Joao Damas, Jarle Greipsland and Jim Reid).	Ongoing
49.3	Jaap Akkerhuis	Do some research on the problems that the BIND delegation-only hack causes and document these.
50.1	RIPE NCC / Andrei Robachevsky	Produce statistics on Anycast placement for the K-root name server.
50.2	Jim Reid	Coordinate team to send letter to ICANN/IANA requesting clarification of the name server naming issue (multiple names per address) in the root zone.
51.1	RIPE NCC / Lorenzo Colitti	Publish K-Root anycast measurement results through appropriate channels with a RIPE document as a fallback.
51.2	RIPE NCC / Andrei Robachevsky	Agree with RIRs on a date for decommissioning of IP6.INT reverse mapping services. Outline and communicate procedure to be followed based on the presentation made during the WG session.
51.3	Lars-Johan Liman	Draft a proposal on the future of the RIPE NCC Secondary DNS Service. To be dealt with on cooperation with the NCC Services WG.
51.4	Peter Koch	Draft text and initiate discussion on the mailing list towards an update of RIPE 203 along the lines of the presentation brought to the WG.	Ongoing
51.5	Carsten Schiefner	Provide text for a proposal for the RIPE NCC to implement ENUM DNS Predelegation Checks. Also explore the field of regular post delegation sanity checks in the e164.arpa tree.
52.1	RIPE NCC	Investigate causes for extra DNSSEC network traffic(in excess of the predicted growth) and extra CPU cycles.
52.2	RIPE NCC	Report number of signed zones and signed delegations in the reverse tree.
52.3	RIPE NCC	Post questions and proposal to wg mailing list on how to deal with lame delegations when either the NCC is responsible for maintaining the parent or for running a (secondary) server for the child that is or is about to become delegated lame due to an unavailable *xfr source.
52.4	RIPE NCC	Automate and streamline the process for ENUM delegations, including checks similar to those applied to the reverse tree.
52.5	Carsten Schiefner	Write a proposal for performing regular lameness checks in E164.ARPA and actions to follow.
