Hello All,
Years ago, when I worked for ICANN doing DNS things, we created the xfr.lax.dns.icann.org and xfr.cjr.dns.icann.org services in order to provide AXFR access to zones that we served on L-Root. I assume those are the ancestors of the similarly-named services described at https://www.dns.icann.org/services/axfr/
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
The public transparency idea was to make all the public zones we served available, not just the root zone, because why wouldn't we, somebody might find them useful.
Yes this is still the case.
I wonder if we could convince ICANN to add ZONEMD to
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
