Hi! draft-ietf-dnsop-caching-resolution-failures Review type: intdir - Telechat review Reviewer: Carlos Pignataro I find this a complete and well written document. Only some minimal nits for your consideration: 2. Conditions That Lead To DNS Resolution Failures CMP> "to" ^^^^ 3.2. Caching Resolvers SHOULD employ an exponential or linear backoff algorithm to increase the cache duration for persistent resolution failures. For example, the initial time for negatively caching a resolution failure might be set to 5 seconds, and increased after each retry that results in another resolution failure, up to a configurable maximum, not to exceed the 5 minute upper limit. CMP> "5-minute" 3.3. Requerying Delegation Information The problem of aggressive requerying to parent zones is not limited to queries of type NS. This document updates the requirement from section 2.1.1 of [RFC4697] to apply more generally: Upon encountering a zone whose name servers are all non-responsive, a resolver MUST cache the resolution failure. Furthermore, the resolver MUST limit queries to the non-responsive zone's parent zone (and other ancestor zones) just as it would limit subsequent queries to the non- responsive zone. CMP> "(and *to* other ancestor" 1.2. Related Work An expired Internet Draft describes "The DNS thundering herd problem" and 10.2. Informative References [thundering-herd] Sivaraman, M. and C. Liu, "The DNS thundering herd problem (expired Internet Draft)", June 2020, CMP> s/Internet Draft/Internet-Draft/g? Thanks again! Carlos.
