Re: Last Call: <draft-iab-2870bis-01.txt> (DNS Root Name Service Protocol and Deployment Requirements) to Best Current Practice

Paul:

|      MUST support IPv4[RFC0791] and IPv6[RFC2460] transport of DNS
|      queries and responses.

This needs an addition: "Some servers in the root name service might not 
support IPv4, and some might not support IPv6." Without that, some people 
might think that each server must respond on both layer 3 technologies, but 
they do not.

I would like to see each and every root server support both IPv4 and IPv6.  

So would I. But is that a *requirement*, particularly given that the root 
service seems to run just fine today without it?

I propose that the addition is still needed, despite what you and I would 
like to see.

If a root server does not support both IPv4 and IPv6 then it does not comply 
with the proposed BCP.
