IPv6 backresolve with DNSSEC
by Max Tulyev 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

Hi All, I tried to create a DNSSEC signed backresolve domain for my IPv6 block: domain: 0.d.0.0.1.0.a.2.ip6.arpa descr: NetAssist LLC org: ORG-NL64-RIPE admin-c: MT6561-RIPE tech-c: MT6561-RIPE zone-c: MT6561-RIPE nserver: ns.netassist.kiev.ua nserver: ns.netassist.ru ds-rdata: 46236 5 1 B42280F344BB12FCC5030673109EF84EF2C4D3A7 mnt-by: MEREZHA-MNT mnt-lower: MEREZHA-MNT changed: support(a)netassist.kiev.ua 20070704 source: RIPE and it fails with: ***Error: DS records are not accepted for this zone. ***Error: RDNS Authorisation failed but without ds-rdata everything works fine. Is it a (my) bug or a feature? -- WBR, Max Tulyev (MT6561-RIPE, 2:463/253@FIDO)

RIPE Community Requests that ICANN Signs DNS Root
by Axel Pawlik 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

[Apologies for duplicates.] Dear Colleagues, During the RIPE 54 Meeting in Tallinn, Estonia on 7 -11 October, the RIPE DNS Working Group agreed that a formal request should be made to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for it to sign the DNS root as soon as possible. The working group formulated a statement and asked the RIPE community for endorsement during the closing plenary. The RIPE community unanimously supported this statement and, as a result, a formal letter of request was sent to ICANN. This letter, which includes the statement, can be viewed at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/dns/icann-root-signing.pdf Regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

Secondary service on ns.ripe.net for reverse delegations.
by Brett Carr 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

As mentioned in my presentation at RIPE 54 last week we have become aware that there is an inconsistency between ipv4 and ipv6 with regard to obtaining reverse delegation. The reverse delegation procedure listed at http://www.ripe.net/rs/ reverse/reverse_howto.html has the following listed: -----snip Secondary Service by the RIPE NCC For IPv4: If your zone is a /16 reverse zone, you will need to set up ns.ripe.net as a secondary server For IPv6: If your zone is a /32 reverse zone, you may use ns.ripe.net as a secondary -----snip We think it would be a good idea to address this inconsistency, this could be done in several ways including but not limted to: Make ns.ripe.net mandatory on ipv4 and ipv6 delegations Make ns.ripe.net optional on ipv4 and ipv6 delegations Discontinue the secondary service on ns.ripe.net for new delegations. Our suggestion and preference would be to make ns.ripe.net optional on both ipv4 and ipv6 delegations. We would welcome and encourage input from the dns community on this subject. Regards Brett -- Brett Carr Manager -- DNS Services Group RIPE Network Coordination Centre Amsterdam
