Michaelson APNIC November 5, 2013 AS112 Redirection using DNAME draft-ietf-dnsop-as112-dname-00 Abstract Many sites connected to the Internet make use of IPv4 addresses that are not globally unique. Examples are the addresses designated in RFC 1918 for private use within individual sites. Devices in such environments may occasionally originate Domain Name System (DNS) queries (so-called "reverse lookups") corresponding to those private-use addresses. Since the addresses concerned have only local significance, it is good practice for site administrators to ensure that such queries are answered locally. However, it is not uncommon for such queries to follow the normal delegation path in the public DNS instead of being answered within the site. It is not possible for public DNS servers to give useful answers to such queries. In addition, due to the wide deployment of private-use addresses and the continuing growth of the Internet, the volume of such queries is large and growing. The AS112 project aims to provide a distributed sink for such queries in order to reduce the load on the IN-ADDR.ARPA authoritative servers. The AS112 project is named after the Autonomous System Number (ASN) that was assigned to it. The AS112 project does not accommodate the addition and removal of DNS zones elegantly. Since additional zones of definitively local significance are known to exist, this presents a problem. This document describes modifications to the deployment and use of AS112 infrastructure that will allow zones to be added and dropped much more easily.

Expires May 9, 2014 [Page 3] Internet-Draft AS112 Redirection using DNAME November 2013 1. Introduction The AS112 project is described in detail in [RFC6304]. The AS112 nameservers (PRISONER.IANA.ORG, BLACKHOLE-1.IANA.ORG and BLACKHOLE-2.IANA.ORG) are required to answer authoritatively for each and every zone that is delegated to them. If a zone is delegated to AS112 nameservers without those nameservers being configured ahead of time to answer authoritatively for that zone, there is a detrimental impact on clients following referrals for queries within that zone. This misconfiguration is colloquially known as a "lame delegation". AS112 nameserver operators are only loosely-coordinated, and hence adding support for a new zone (or, correspondingly, removing support for a zone that is no longer delegated to the AS112 nameservers) is difficult to accomplish with accuracy; testing AS112 nameservers remotely to see whether they are configured to answer authoritatively for a particular zone is similarly challenging since AS112 nodes are distributed using anycast [RFC4786]. This document proposes that instead of delegating individual zones to AS112 nameservers, DNAME [RFC6672] redirection be used instead. This approach has the advantage that query traffic for arbitrary parts of the namespace can be directed to AS112 servers without those servers having to be reconfigured every time a zone is added or removed. Abley, et al. Expires May 9, 2014 [Page 4] Internet-Draft AS112 Redirection using DNAME November 2013 2. Design Overview A new zone, EMPTY.AS112.ARPA, is delegated to a single nameserver BLACKHOLE.AS112.ARPA (IPv4 address TBAv4-1, IPv6 address TBAv6-1). The IPv4 address TBAv4-1 has been assigned by the IANA such that the address is coverable by a single IPv4 /24 prefix, and that no other address covered by that prefix is in use. The IPv6 address TBAv6-1 has been similarly assigned such that no other address within a covering /48 is in use. This addressing plan accommodates the anycast distribution of the BLACKHOLE.AS112.ARPA service using a single IPv4 service prefix and a single IPv6 service prefix. See [RFC4786] for more discussion of anycast service distribution; see Section 8 for the specific requests this document makes of the IANA. Some or all of the existing AS112 nodes should be extended to support these new nameserver addresses, and to host the EMPTY.AS112.ARPA zone. See Section 3.1 for guidance to AS112 server operators. Each part of the DNS namespace for which it is desirable to sink queries at AS112 nameservers should be redirected to the EMPTY.AS112.ARPA zone using DNAME [RFC6672]. See Section 3.2 for guidance to zone administrators. Abley, et al. Expires May 9, 2014 [Page 5] Internet-Draft AS112 Redirection using DNAME November 2013 3. AS112 Operations 3.1. Extensions to Support DNAME Redirection The guidance provided in [RFC6304] is extended to include configuration of the TBAv4-1, and TBAv6-1 addresses, and the corresponding announcement of covering routes for those addresses, and to host the EMPTY.AS112.ARPA zone. IPv4-only AS112 nodes should only configure the TBAv4-1 nameserver address; IPv6-only AS112 nodes should only configure the TBAv6-1 nameserver address. It is only necessary for a single AS112 server operator to implement these extensions for this mechanism to function as intended. It is beneficial if many more than one AS112 server operators make these changes, however, since that provides for greater distribution and capacity for the nameservers serving the EMPTY.AS112.ARPA zone. It is not necessary for all AS112 server operators to make these changes for the mechanism to be viable. Detailed instructions for the implementation of these extensions is included in Appendix B. 3.2. Redirection of Query Traffic to AS112 Servers Once the EMPTY.AS112.ARPA zone has been deployed using the nameservers described in Section 3.1, redirections may be installed in the DNS namespace for queries that are intended to be answered by the AS112 infrastructure. For example, reverse queries corresponding to TEST-NET-1 (192.0.2.0/24) [RFC5737] could be redirected to AS112 nameservers by installing a DNAME resource record in the 192.IN-ADDR.ARPA zone, as illustrated in Figure 1. $ORIGIN 192.IN-ADDR.ARPA. ... 2.0.IN-ADDR.ARPA. IN DNAME EMPTY.AS112.ARPA. ... Figure 1 There is no practical limit to the number of redirections that can be configured in this fashion. Redirection of a particular part of the namespace to EMPTY.AS112.ARPA can be removed at any time, under the control of the administrators of the corresponding part of the DNS namespace. No changes to deployed AS112 nodes incorporating the Abley, et al. Expires May 9, 2014 [Page 6] Internet-Draft AS112 Redirection using DNAME November 2013 extensions described in this document are required to support additional redirections. A list of possible candidates for AS112 redirection can be found in Section 5. DNAME resource records deployed for this purpose can be signed with DNSSEC [RFC4033], providing a secure means of authenticating the legitimacy of each redirection. Abley, et al. Expires May 9, 2014 [Page 7] Internet-Draft AS112 Redirection using DNAME November 2013 4. Continuity of AS112 Operations Existing guidance to AS112 server operators to accept and respond to queries directed at the PRISONER.IANA.ORG, BLACKHOLE-1.IANA.ORG and BLACKHOLE-2.IANA.ORG nameservers should continue to be followed, and no changes to the delegation of existing zones hosted on AS112 servers should occur. These measures are intended to provide continuity of operations for zones currently delegated to AS112 servers and avoid any accidental client impact due to the changes proposed in this document. Once it has become empirically and quantitatively clear that the EMPTY.AS112.ARPA zone is well-hosted to the extent that it is thought that the existing, unmodified AS112 servers host 10.IN-ADDR.ARPA, the decision might be made to replace the delegation of those [RFC1918] zones with DNAME redirection. Once implemented, the PRISONER.IANA.ORG, BLACKHOLE-1.IANA.ORG and BLACKHOLE-2.IANA.ORG nameservers could be retired. This document gives no such direction to the IANA, however. Abley, et al. Expires May 9, 2014 [Page 8] Internet-Draft AS112 Redirection using DNAME November 2013 5. Candidate Zones for AS112 Redirection All zones listed in [RFC6303] are candidates for AS112 redirection. Since no pre-provisioning is required on the part of AS112 operators to facilitate sinking of any name in the DNS namespace by AS112 infrastructure, this mechanism supports AS112 redirection by any zone owner in the DNS. This document is simply concerned with provision of the AS112 redirection service, and does not specify that any particular AS112 redirection be put in place. Abley, et al. Expires May 9, 2014 [Page 9] Internet-Draft AS112 Redirection using DNAME November 2013 6. DNAME Deployment Considerations DNAME was specified a significant time following the original implementations of [RFC1035], and hence universal deployment cannot be expected. [RFC6672] specifies a fall-back mechanism which makes use of synthesised CNAME RRSets for this reason. The expectation that design choices in the DNAME specification ought to mitigate any lack of deployment is reviewed below. Experimental validation of those expectations is included in Appendix A. It is a fundamental design requirement of AS112 service that responses be cached. We can safely declare DNAME support on the authoritative server to be a prerequisite for DNAME redirection, but the cases where individual elements in resolver chains do not support DNAME processing deserve closer examination. The expected behaviour when a DNAME response is supplied to a resolver that does not support DNAME is that the accompanying, synthesised CNAME will be accepted and cached. Re-query frequency will be determined by the TTLs returned by the DNAME-responding authoritative servers. Resolution of the CNAME target is straightforward and functions exactly as the AS112 project has operated since it was deployed. The negative caching [RFC2308] of the CNAME target follows the parameters defined in the target zone, EMPTY.AS112.ARPA. This has the side- effects that all redirected names ultimately landing on an AS112 node will be negatively-cached with the same parameters, but this lack of flexibility seems non-controversial; the effect of reducing the negative cache TTL would be increased query volume on the AS112 node operator concerned, and hence controls seem well-aligned with operation. Validating resolvers (i.e. those requesting and processing DNSSEC [RFC4033] metadata) are required to implement DNAME, and hence should not make use of synthesised CNAME RRs. The lack of signature over a received CNAME RR should hence not limit the ability to sign the redirection point, and for those signatures to be validated. In the case where a recursive server implements DNAME, but DNAME is not implemented in a stub resolver, CNAME synthesis will again provide a viable path. DNAME support on AS112 nodes themselves is never required under this proposal. Abley, et al. Expires May 9, 2014 [Page 10] Internet-Draft AS112 Redirection using DNAME November 2013 7. IAB Considerations This document proposes a delegation within the ARPA domain, and, in accordance with [RFC3172], IAB review and approval of the delegation of AS112.ARPA as described in Section 8 is required. Once IAB approval has been obtained, this section may be removed prior to publication or updated to include text that confirms the IAB's decision, at the IAB's discretion. Abley, et al. Expires May 9, 2014 [Page 11] Internet-Draft AS112 Redirection using DNAME November 2013 8. IANA Considerations 8.1. Address Assignment The IANA is requested to assign one IPv4 /24 netblock and one IPv6 /48 netblock that, to the best of their knowledge, should be suitable for announcement as a single IPv4 /24 prefix and a single IPv6 prefix on the global Internet, respectively. Once assigned, all occurrences of TBAv4 in this document should be replaced by the IPv4 netblock assigned, in conventional notation. Occurrences of TBAv4-1 should be replaced with an address from the netblock with lowest octet set to 1. Similarly, all occurrences of TBAv6 in this document should be replaced by the IPv6 netblock assigned, in conventional notation, and TBAv6-1 replaced with an address from that netblock with the lowest 48 bits set to the value 1. Once those changes are made, this paragraph may be removed prior to publication. The netblocks assigned by the IANA for this purpose are TBAv4 and TBAv6. 8.2. Hosting of AS112.ARPA The IANA is requested to host and sign the zone AS112.ARPA using nameservers and DNSSEC signing infrastructure of their choosing, as shown in Figure 2. SOA RDATA may be adjusted by the IANA to suit their operational requirements. $ORIGIN AS112.ARPA. $TTL 3600 @ IN SOA BLACKHOLE.AS112.ARPA. NOC.DNS.ICANN.ORG.

Assessing Support for DNAME in the Real World To measure the extent to which the DNAME construct is supported in the Internet, we have used an experimental technique to test the DNS resolvers used by end hosts, and derive from the test a measurement of DNAME support within the Internet. A.1. Methodology The test was conducted by loading a user's browser with 4 URLs to retrieve. The first three comprise the test setup, while the final URL communicates the result the the experiment controller. The URLs are: A http://a..dname.example.com/1x1.png? a..dname B http://b.dname.example.com/1x1.png? b..dname C http://c..target.example.net/1x1.png? c..target D http://results.recorder.example.net/1x1.png? results.?za=&zb=&zc= The A URL is designed to test the end users capability to resolve a name that has never been seen before, so that the resolution of this domain name will reliably result in a query at the authoritative name server. This is intended to test the use of domain names where there is a dynamic component that also uses the DNAME construct. The B URL is deliberately designed to be cached by caching resolvers that are used in the process of resolving the domain name. The C URL is a control URL. This is a unique URL, similar to A, but does not refer to a DNAME structure. The D URL uses a static cacheable domain name. The value is common to the four URLs used in each individual instance of this test, but varies from test to test. The result is that each end user is presented with a unique string. The contents of the EXAMPLE.COM, TARGET.EXAMPLE.NET and RECORDER.EXAMPLE.NET zones are shown in Figure 3. Abley, et al.

Figure 3 The first three URLs (A, B and C) are loaded as tasks into the user's browser upon execution of the test's script. The script starts a timer with each of these URLs to measure the elapsed time to fetch the URL. The script then waits for the three fetches to complete, or 10 seconds, whichever occurs first. The script then loads the results of the three timers into the GET arguments of the D URL, and performs a fetch to pass these results back to the experiment's server. Logs on the web server reached at RESULTS.EXAMPLE.NET will include entries of the form shown in Figure 4. If any of the URLs fail to load within 10 secords the D URL will report the failure as a "null" timer value.

Results The test was loaded into an advertisement distributed on the 2013-10-10 and 2013-10-11. +--------------------+---------+------------+ | | Count | Percentage | +--------------------+---------+------------+ | Recorded Results: | 338,478 | | | | | | | A or B Loaded: | 331,896 | 98.1% | | | | | | A Fail and B Fail: | 6,492 | 1.9% | | | | | | A Fail and B Load: | 4,249 | 1.3% | | | | | | A Load and B Fail: | 1,624 | 0.5% | | | | | | C Fail: | 9,355 | 2.8% | +--------------------+---------+------------+ Table 1 These results indicate that at most 1.9% of tested clients use DNS resolvers that fail to resolve a domain name that contains a DNAME redirection. However the failure rate of slightly lower than 3% for the control URL indicates that the failure rate for the DNAME construct lies within the bounds of error within the experimental framework. We conclude that there is no evidence of a consistent failure on the part of deployed DNS resolvers to correctly resolve a DNAME construct. This experiment was conducted by Geoff Huston and George Michaelson. Abley, et al. Expires May 9, 2014 [Page 19] Internet-Draft AS112 Redirection using DNAME November 2013 Appendix B. Updates to RFC6304 The following changes are required to [RFC6304] to provide support for AS112 redirection. It is proposed that a successor document to [RFC6304] be prepared for joint publication with this document in the interests of providing clear advice to prospective new AS112 operators. The following sub-sections are hence provided mainly only to describe the scope of the changes required for 6304bis, and are not intended for publication in this document. References to this section in this document should ultimately be replaced with references to 6304bis. B.1. Changes to Section 2.1, Zones The list of zones that the AS112 nameserver should answer authoritatively for is extended to include EMPTY.AS112.ARPA. B.2. Changes to Section 2.2, Nameservers The nameserver BLACKHOLE.AS112.ARPA (IPv4 address TBAv4-1, IPv6 address TBAv6-1) is added to the list of nameserver addresses that the AS112 node should support. The IPv4 prefix TBAv4/24 and the IPv6 prefix TBAv6/48 are added as new prefixes to be originated. B.3. Changes to Section 3.4, Routing Software The sample configuration provided in this section is extended to accommodate the IPv4 and IPv6 service prefixes associated with AS112 redirection, TBAv4/24 and TBAv6/48, respectively. B.4. Changes to Section 3.5, DNS Software The sample configuration provided in this section is extended to accommodate the TBAv4-1 and TBAv6-1 addresses and the EMPTY.AS112.ARPA zone. The contents of the EMPTY.AS112.ARPA zone should be specified (nameservers differ from that included as "db.empty"). B.5. Changes to Section 3.6, Testing a Newly Installed Node Testing should be extended to test for correct hosting of the EMPTY.AS112.ARPA zone. B.6.
