It strikes me that this argument has been hashed pretty well to death before, but just to refresh everyone's memory, there are several different strategies one can use here: 1. CD=1 all the time, and if you get into trouble consider the failure a feature. Mark's argument (which has some merit) is that this is too strong, because if the stub gets the bogus answer, it can't "fall through" and pick up another one that might be good. 2. CD=1 mostly, and if you get a failure try falling back to CD=0. Maybe with CD=0, the recursive server will find you something that validates in order to get you on your way. 3. The opposite of (2), defauling to CD=0 (what Mark advocates). 4. Give up on stubs and be a full service resolver all the time. For 1-3, people may have a peek at RFC 6840, especially section 5.9 and Appendix B. None of this, AFAICT, helps us at all with the 1024/2048 choice. A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@anvilwalrusden.com
