Re: [drinks] request for input



I’d like to echo Brian’s comment, it is what some in the design team think.  The NAPTR gives us quite a bit of flexibility to express what a response to a LUF or LUF+LRF resolution query could be.

 

When trying to build something more generic than a DNS RR like NAPTR, you basically end up doing the following:

-          Take NAPTR fields out of that structure and put them as attributes of a new object

-          Define ways to properly return URIs

-          Try and re-create the meaning of svces in NAPTR

-          Add something close to order and preference fields in NAPTR

 

Bottom line, given the implementations of NAPTRs in the space we’re targeting, is there really something you can’t do with a NAPTR?

We haven’t found anything we can’t do with a NAPTR, with parameters.

 

Could someone cite an example of what you  can’t do with a NAPTR?

The protocol design team has been working on a data model and protocol for the registry provisioning interface.

We have associated with each public identifier routing information in the form of resolution answers on the name server.  Initially we looked at specific types of routing info – such as NS and NAPTR Resource Records. We have heard feedback that this is too DNS-centric. We are discussing collapsing these into a “generic” Route Object. This may lead to a long set of attributes, one would be route type, but many others would be optional and may only apply to a given route type.

We would appreciate some feedback –does it make sense to collapse into a generic Route Object? Other suggestions are welcome.

 

Thank you. Please reply to the list.
