Hello All,

I can confirm this is indeed the same service, reachable at xfr.dns.icann.org <http://xfr.dns.icann.org/>. However this service was not provisioned with RFC8806 in mind and is currently offered on a best effort basis. That said we would like add capacity as demand dictates

Yes this is still the case.

Ill create a task to look at this however some zones are managed/owned by IANA, NRO or IETF so there maybe some layer 8 issues to navigate.
Thanks john
Hello DNS enthusiasts and other developers,
After several earlier successful and packed DNS devrooms, we are happy
to announce another half-day DNS devroom at FOSDEM 2026.
As with the previous events, we hope to host talks anywhere from
hardcore protocol stuff, to practical sessions for programmers that are
not directly involved with DNS but may have to deal with DNS in their
day to day coding or system administrators responsible for DNS
infrastructure.
We have been allotted a room on Sunday February 1st, the first half of
the day, starting at 10:00 (CET).
If you have something you’d like to share with your fellow developers,
please head to the submission page at https://fosdem.org/submit .
Examples of topics are measuring, monitoring, DNS libraries, anecdotes
on how you’ve (ab)used the DNS, and group discussions of upcoming
technologies. Here’s the 2025 schedule, for your inspiration:
https://archive.fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/dns/ .
We expect to schedule 25 minutes per talk, including questions, but if
you need more or less time, we can discuss this.
The deadline for submissions is December 5th 23:59 CET (Brussels Time).
Reach out to dns-devroom-manager(a)fosdem.org if you run into any
trouble.
See you there!
Cheers,
The FOSDEM 2026 DNS Devroom organizers
