Lawrence 7 Status: Standards Track 8 Date: November 2002 9 Mailbox: tale@nominum.com 10 Pages: 5 11 Characters: 8615 12 Updates: 1035 14 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-dnsext-obsolete-iquery-04.txt 16 URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3425.txt 18 The IQUERY method of performing inverse DNS lookups, specified in 19 RFC 1035, has not been generally implemented and has usually been 20 operationally disabled where it has been implemented. Both reflect 21 a general view in the community that the concept was unwise and 22 that the widely-used alternate approach of using pointer (PTR) queries 23 and reverse-mapping records is preferable. Consequently, this 24 document deprecates the IQUERY operation, declaring it entirely 25 obsolete. This document updates RFC 1035. 27 This document is a product of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the 28 IETF. 30 This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. 32 This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for 33 the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions 34 for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the 35 "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the 36 standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution 37 of this memo is unlimited. 39 This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list. 40 Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list 41 should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG.
