discarding records which have invalid prefix lengths as defined in section 3.1.2. If some A6 queries fail and others succeed, a client might obtain a non-empty but incomplete set of IPv6 addresses for a host. In many situations this may be acceptable. The completeness of a set of A6 records may always be determined by inspection.3.2. Zone Structure for Reverse Lookups Very little of the new scheme's data actually appears under IP6.ARPA; only the first level of delegation needs to be under that domain. More levels of delegation could be placed under IP6.ARPA if some top-level delegations were done via NS records instead of DNAME records, but this would incur some cost in renumbering ease at theCrawford, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]RFC 2874 IPv6 DNS July 2000 level of TLAs [AGGR]. Therefore, it is declared here that all address space delegations SHOULD be done by the DNAME mechanism rather than NS. In addition, since uniformity in deployment will simplify maintenance of address delegations, it is SUGGESTED that address and prefix information be stored immediately below a DNS label "IP6". Stated another way, conformance with this suggestion would mean that "IP6" is the first label in the RDATA field of DNAME records which support IPv6 reverse lookups. When any "reserved" or "must be zero" bits are adjacent to a delegation boundary, the higher-level entity MUST retain those bits in its own control and delegate only the bits over which the lower- level entity has authority. To find the name of a node given its IPv6 address, a DNS client MUST perform a query with QCLASS=IN, QTYPE=PTR on the name formed from the 128 bit address as one or more bit-string labels [BITLBL], followed by the two standard labels "IP6.ARPA". If recursive service was not obtained from a server and the desired PTR record was not returned, the resolver MUST handle returned DNAME records as specified in [DNAME], and NS records as specified in [DNSCF], and iterate.4. Modifications to Existing Query Types All existing query types that perform type A additional section processing, i.e. the name server (NS), mail exchange (MX), and mailbox (MB) query types, and the experimental AFS data base (AFSDB) and route through (RT) types, must be redefined to perform type A, A6 and AAAA additional section processing, with type A having the highest priority for inclusion and type AAAA the lowest. This redefinition means that a name server may add any relevant IPv4 and IPv6 address information available locally to the additional section of a response when processing any one of the above queries. The recursive inclusion of A6 records referenced by A6 records already included in the additional section is OPTIONAL.5. Usage Illustrations This section provides examples of use of the mechanisms defined in the previous section. All addresses and domains mentioned here are intended to be fictitious and for illustrative purposes only. Example delegations will be on 4-bit boundaries solely for readability; this specification is indifferent to bit alignment. Use of the IPv6 aggregatable address format [AGGR] is assumed in the examples.Crawford, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]RFC 2874 IPv6 DNS July 20005.1. A6 Record Chains Let's take the example of a site X that is multi-homed to two "intermediate" providers A and B. The provider A is itself multi- homed to two "transit" providers, C and D. The provider B gets its transit service from a single provider, E. For simplicity suppose that C, D and E all belong to the same top-level aggregate (TLA) with identifier (including format prefix) '2345', and the TLA authority at ALPHA-TLA.ORG assigns to C, D and E respectively the next level aggregate (NLA) prefixes 2345:00C0::/28, 2345:00D0::/28 and 2345:000E::/32. C assigns the NLA prefix 2345:00C1:CA00::/40 to A, D assigns the prefix 2345:00D2:DA00::/40 to A and E assigns 2345:000E:EB00::/40 to B. A assigns to X the subscriber identification '11' and B assigns the subscriber identification '22'. As a result, the site X inherits three address prefixes: o 2345:00C1:CA11::/48 from A, for routes through C. o 2345:00D2:DA11::/48 from A, for routes through D. o 2345:000E:EB22::/48 from B, for routes through E. Let us suppose that N is a node in the site X, that it is assigned to subnet number 1 in this site, and that it uses the interface identifier '1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0'. In our configuration, this node will have three addresses: o 2345:00C1:CA11:0001:1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0 o 2345:00D2:DA11:0001:1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0 o 2345:000E:EB22:0001:1234:5678:9ABC:DEF05.1.1. Authoritative Data We will assume that the site X is represented in the DNS by the domain name X.EXAMPLE, while A, B, C, D and E are represented by A.NET, B.NET, C.NET, D.NET and E.NET. In each of these domains, we assume a subdomain "IP6" that will hold the corresponding prefixes. The node N is identified by the domain name N.X.EXAMPLE. The following records would then appear in X's DNS. $ORIGIN X.EXAMPLE. N A6 64 ::1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0 SUBNET-1.IP6 SUBNET-1.IP6 A6 48 0:0:0:1:: IP6 IP6 A6 48 0::0 SUBSCRIBER-X.IP6.A.NET. IP6 A6 48 0::0 SUBSCRIBER-X.IP6.B.NET.Crawford, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]RFC 2874 IPv6 DNS July 2000 And elsewhere there would appear SUBSCRIBER-X.IP6.A.NET. A6 40 0:0:0011:: A.NET.IP6.C.NET. SUBSCRIBER-X.IP6.A.NET. A6 40 0:0:0011:: A.NET.IP6.D.NET. SUBSCRIBER-X.IP6.B.NET. A6 40 0:0:0022:: B-NET.IP6.E.NET. A.NET.IP6.C.NET. A6 28 0:0001:CA00:: C.NET.ALPHA-TLA.ORG. A.NET.IP6.D.NET. A6 28 0:0002:DA00:: D.NET.ALPHA-TLA.ORG. B-NET.IP6.E.NET. A6 32 0:0:EB00:: E.NET.ALPHA-TLA.ORG. C.NET.ALPHA-TLA.ORG. A6 0 2345:00C0:: D.NET.ALPHA-TLA.ORG. A6 0 2345:00D0:: E.NET.ALPHA-TLA.ORG. A6 0 2345:000E::5.1.2. Glue When, as is common, some or all DNS servers for X.EXAMPLE are within the X.EXAMPLE zone itself, the top-level zone EXAMPLE must carry enough "glue" information to enable DNS clients to reach those nameservers. This is true in IPv6 just as in IPv4. However, the A6 record affords the DNS administrator some choices. The glue could be any of o a minimal set of A6 records duplicated from the X.EXAMPLE zone, o a (possibly smaller) set of records which collapse the structure of that minimal set, o or a set of A6 records with prefix length zero, giving the entire global addresses of the servers. The trade-off is ease of maintenance against robustness. The best and worst of both may be had together by implementing either the first or second option together with the third. To illustrate the glue options, suppose that X.EXAMPLE is served by two nameservers NS1.X.EXAMPLE and NS2.X.EXAMPLE, having interface identifiers ::1:11:111:1111 and ::2:22:222:2222 on subnets 1 and 2 respectively. Then the top-level zone EXAMPLE would include one (or more) of the following sets of A6 records as glue.Crawford, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]RFC 2874 IPv6 DNS July 2000 $ORIGIN EXAMPLE. ; first option X NS NS1.X NS NS2.X NS1.X A6 64 ::1:11:111:1111 SUBNET-1.IP6.X NS2.X A6 64 ::2:22:222:2222 SUBNET-2.IP6.X SUBNET-1.IP6.X A6 48 0:0:0:1:: IP6.X SUBNET-2.IP6.X A6 48 0:0:0:2:: IP6.X IP6.X A6 48 0::0 SUBSCRIBER-X.IP6.A.NET. IP6.X A6 48 0::0 SUBSCRIBER-X.IP6.B.NET. $ORIGIN EXAMPLE. ; second option X NS NS1.X NS NS2.X NS1.X A6 48 ::1:1:11:111:1111 SUBSCRIBER-X.IP6.A.NET. A6 48 ::1:1:11:111:1111 SUBSCRIBER-X.IP6.B.NET. NS2.X A6 48 ::2:2:22:222:2222 SUBSCRIBER-X.IP6.A.NET. A6 48 ::2:2:22:222:2222 SUBSCRIBER-X.IP6.B.NET. $ORIGIN EXAMPLE. ; third option X NS NS1.X NS NS2.X NS1.X A6 0 2345:00C1:CA11:1:1:11:111:1111 A6 0 2345:00D2:DA11:1:1:11:111:1111 A6 0 2345:000E:EB22:1:1:11:111:1111 NS2.X A6 0 2345:00C1:CA11:2:2:22:222:2222 A6 0 2345:00D2:DA11:2:2:22:222:2222 A6 0 2345:000E:EB22:2:2:22:222:2222 The first and second glue options are robust against renumbering of X.EXAMPLE's prefixes by providers A.NET and B.NET, but will fail if those providers' own DNS is unreachable. The glue records of the third option are robust against DNS failures elsewhere than the zones EXAMPLE and X.EXAMPLE themselves, but must be updated when X's address space is renumbered. If the EXAMPLE zone includes redundant glue, for instance the union of the A6 records of the first and third options, then under normal circumstances duplicate IPv6 addresses will be derived by DNS clients. But if provider DNS fails, addresses will still be obtained from the zero-prefix-length records, while if the EXAMPLE zone lags behind a renumbering of X.EXAMPLE, half of the addresses obtained by DNS clients will still be up-to-date. The zero-prefix-length glue records can of course be automatically generated and/or checked in practice.Crawford, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]RFC 2874 IPv6 DNS July 20005.1.3. Variations Several more-or-less arbitrary assumptions are reflected in the above structure. All of the following choices could have been made differently, according to someone's notion of convenience or an agreement between two parties. First, that site X has chosen to put subnet information in a separate A6 record rather than incorporate it into each node's A6 records. Second, that site X is referred to as "SUBSCRIBER-X" by both of its providers A and B. Third, that site X chose to indirect its provider information through A6 records at IP6.X.EXAMPLE containing no significant bits. An alternative would have been to replicate each subnet record for each provider. Fourth, B and E used a slightly different prefix naming convention between themselves than did A, C and D. Each hierarchical pair of network entities must arrange this naming between themselves. Fifth, that the upward prefix referral chain topped out at ALPHA- TLA.ORG. There could have been another level which assigned the TLA values and holds A6 records containing those bits. Finally, the above structure reflects an assumption that address fields assigned by a given entity are recorded only in A6 records held by that entity. Those bits could be entered into A6 records in the lower-level entity's zone instead, thus: IP6.X.EXAMPLE. A6 40 0:0:11:: IP6.A.NET. IP6.X.EXAMPLE. A6 40 0:0:22:: IP6.B.NET. IP6.A.NET. A6 28 0:1:CA00:: IP6.C.NET. and so on. Or the higher-level entities could hold both sorts of A6 records (with different DNS owner names) and allow the lower-level entities to choose either mode of A6 chaining. But the general principle of avoiding data duplication suggests that the proper place to store assigned values is with the entity that assigned them. It is possible, but not necessarily recommended, for a zone maintainer to forego the renumbering support afforded by the chaining of A6 records and to record entire IPv6 addresses within one zone file.Crawford, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]RFC 2874 IPv6 DNS July 20005.2. Reverse Mapping Zones Supposing that address space assignments in the TLAs with Format Prefix (001) binary and IDs 0345, 0678 and 09AB were maintained in zones called ALPHA-TLA.ORG, BRAVO-TLA.ORG and CHARLIE-TLA.XY, then the IP6.ARPA zone would include $ORIGIN IP6.ARPA. \[x234500/24] DNAME IP6.ALPHA-TLA.ORG. \[x267800/24] DNAME IP6.BRAVO-TLA.ORG. \[x29AB00/24] DNAME IP6.CHARLIE-TLA.XY. Eight trailing zero bits have been included in each TLA ID to reflect the eight reserved bits in the current aggregatable global unicast addresses format [AGGR].5.2.1. The TLA level ALPHA-TLA's assignments to network providers C, D and E are reflected in the reverse data as follows. \[xC/4].IP6.ALPHA-TLA.ORG. DNAME IP6.C.NET. \[xD/4].IP6.ALPHA-TLA.ORG. DNAME IP6.D.NET. \[x0E/8].IP6.ALPHA-TLA.ORG. DNAME IP6.E.NET.5.2.2. The ISP level The providers A through E carry the following delegation information in their zone files. \[x1CA/12].IP6.C.NET. DNAME IP6.A.NET. \[x2DA/12].IP6.D.NET. DNAME IP6.A.NET. \[xEB/8].IP6.E.NET. DNAME IP6.B.NET. \[x11/8].IP6.A.NET. DNAME IP6.X.EXAMPLE. \[x22/8].IP6.B.NET. DNAME IP6.X.EXAMPLE. Note that some domain names appear in the RDATA of more than one DNAME record. In those cases, one zone is being used to map multiple prefixes.5.2.3. The Site Level Consider the customer X.EXAMPLE using IP6.X.EXAMPLE for address-to- name translations. This domain is now referenced by two different DNAME records held by two different providers.Crawford, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]RFC 2874 IPv6 DNS July 2000 $ORIGIN IP6.X.EXAMPLE. \[x0001/16] DNAME SUBNET-1 \[x123456789ABCDEF0].SUBNET-1 PTR N.X.EXAMPLE. and so on. SUBNET-1 need not have been named in a DNAME record; the subnet bits could have been joined with the interface identifier. But if subnets are treated alike in both the A6 records and in the reverse zone, it will always be possible to keep the forward and reverse definition data for each prefix in one zone.5.3. Lookups A DNS resolver looking for a hostname for the address 2345:00C1:CA11:0001:1234:5678:9ABC:DEF0 would acquire certain of the DNAME records shown above and would form new queries. Assuming that
