Re: [dnsext] RFC 3484 section 6 rule 9 causing more operational problems

2009-03-05 12:29:37
* Paul Vixie:

neither a client or a server can be guaranteed topology-aware.  dns leaves
ordering deliberately undefined and encourages applications to use their
own best judgement.

The "leaves undefined" part is at odds with your previous statement
that RFC 3484 is correct.  It is compliant with the rest of the
protocol zoo, but the order of records, as seen by applications, is
no longer undefined.
