#157 Generic support for unknown DNS RR types (RFC 3597)
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by pspacek.

Enhancement proposal

[3597]]([http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3597|RFC) describes mechanism necessary for supporting unknown/new DNS RR types in DNS servers. BIND 9 supports this so should expose this functionality too. It would be a future-proof workaround for cases when someone needs a new type.

Use case

Users may want to use new types which are not directly supported by underlying BIND or LDAP schema.

Proposed implementation

1 new attribute with sub-type specifying RR type as a number. This attribute should contain data encodedaccording to [3597 section 5]]([http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3597#section-5|RFC).

Well, Fedora 21 is out already :-)

E-mail with the proposal was sent to drift@uninett.no today, now I'm waiting for reply.
