draft-ietf-dnsop-default-local-zones-10
Abstract
Experience with the Domain Name System (DNS) has shown that there are
a number of DNS zones all iterative resolvers and recursive
nameservers should automatically serve, unless configured otherwise.
RFC 4193 specifies that this should occur for D.F.IP6.ARPA. This
document extends the practice to cover the IN-ADDR.ARPA zones for RFC
1918 address space and other well known zones with similar
characteristics.

Internet-Draft Locally-served DNS Zones March 2010
1. Introduction
Experience with the Domain Name System (DNS, [RFC1034] and [RFC1035])
has shown that there are a number of DNS zones that all iterative
resolvers and recursive nameservers SHOULD automatically serve,
unless intentionally configured otherwise. These zones include, but
are not limited to, the IN-ADDR.ARPA zones for the address space
allocated by [RFC1918] and the IP6.ARPA zones for locally assigned
unique local IPv6 addresses defined in [RFC4193].
This recommendation is made because data has shown that significant
leakage of queries for these name spaces is occurring, despite
instructions to restrict them, and because it has therefore become
necessary to deploy sacrificial name servers to protect the immediate
parent name servers for these zones from excessive, unintentional,
query load [AS112] [I-D.draft-ietf-dnsop-as112-ops]
[I-D.draft-ietf-dnsop-as112-under-attack-help-help]. There is every
expectation that the query load will continue to increase unless
steps are taken as outlined here.
Additionally, queries from clients behind badly configured firewalls
that allow outgoing queries for these name spaces but drop the
responses, put a significant load on the root servers (forward but no
reverse zones configured). They also cause operational load for the
root server operators as they have to reply to enquiries about why
the root servers are "attacking" these clients. Changing the default
configuration will address all these issues for the zones listed in
Section 4.
[RFC4193] recommends that queries for D.F.IP6.ARPA be handled
locally. This document extends the recommendation to cover the IN-
ADDR.ARPA zones for [RFC1918] and other well known IN-ADDR.ARPA and
IP6.ARPA zones for which queries should not appear on the public
Internet.
It is hoped that by doing this the number of sacrificial servers
[AS112] will not have to be increased, and may in time be reduced.
This recommendation should also help DNS responsiveness for sites
which are using [RFC1918] addresses but do not follow the last
paragraph in Section 3 of [RFC1918].
1.1. Reserved Words
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
Andrews Expires September 26, 2010 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Locally-served DNS Zones March 2010
2. Effects on sites using RFC 1918 addresses.
For most sites using [RFC1918] addresses, the changes here will have
little or no detrimental effect. If the site does not already have
the reverse tree populated the only effect will be that the name
error responses will be generated locally rather than remotely.
For sites that do have the reverse tree populated, most will either
have a local copy of the zones or will be forwarding the queries to
servers which have local copies of the zone. Therefore this
recommendation will not be relevant.
The most significant impact will be felt at sites that make use of
delegations for [RFC1918] addresses and have populated these zones.
These sites will need to override the default configuration expressed
in this document to allow resolution to continue. Typically, such
sites will be fully disconnected from the Internet and have their own
root servers for their own non-Internet DNS tree.
3. Changes to Iterative Resolver Behaviour.
Unless configured otherwise, an iterative resolver will now return
authoritatively (aa=1) name errors (RCODE=3) for queries within the
zones in Section 4, with the obvious exception of queries for the
zone name itself where SOA, NS and "no data" responses will be
returned as appropriate to the query type. One common way to do this
all at once is to serve empty (SOA and NS only) zones.
An implementation of this recommendation MUST provide a mechanism to
disable this new behaviour, and SHOULD allow this decision on a zone
by zone basis.
If using empty zones one SHOULD NOT use the same NS and SOA records
as used on the public Internet servers as that will make it harder to
detect the origin of the responses and thus any leakage to the public
Internet servers. This document recommends that the NS record
defaults to the name of the zone and the SOA MNAME defaults to the
name of the only NS RR's target. The SOA RNAME should default to
"nobody.invalid." [RFC2606]. Implementations SHOULD provide a
mechanism to set these values. No address records need to be
provided for the name server.
Below is an example of a generic empty zone in master file format.
It will produce a negative cache TTL of 3 hours.
@ 10800 IN SOA @ nobody.invalid. 1 3600 1200 604800 10800
@ 10800 IN NS @
Andrews Expires September 26, 2010 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Locally-served DNS Zones March 2010
The SOA RR is needed to support negative caching [RFC2308] of name
error responses and to point clients to the primary master for DNS
dynamic updates.
SOA values of particular importance are the MNAME, the SOA RR's TTL
and the negTTL value. Both TTL values SHOULD match. The rest of the
SOA timer values MAY be chosen arbitrarily since they are not
intended to control any zone transfer activity.
The NS RR is needed as some UPDATE [RFC2136] clients use NS queries
to discover the zone to be updated. Having no address records for
the name server is expected to abort UPDATE processing in the client.
4. Lists Of Zones Covered
The following subsections are intended to seed the IANA registry as
requested in the IANA Considerations Section. The zone name is the
entity to be registered.
4.1. RFC1918 Zones
The following zones correspond to the IPv4 address space reserved in
[RFC1918].
+----------------------+
| Zone |
+----------------------+
| 10.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 16.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 17.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 18.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 19.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 20.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 21.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 22.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 23.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 24.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 25.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 26.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 27.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 28.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 29.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 30.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 31.172.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
| 168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA |
+----------------------+

Internet-Draft Locally-served DNS Zones March 2010
4.2. RFC3330 and RFC5737 Zones
The following zones correspond to those address ranges from [RFC3330]
and [RFC5737] that are not expected to appear as source or
destination addresses on the public Internet and to not have a unique
name to associate with.
The recommendation to serve an empty zone 127.IN-ADDR.ARPA is not a
attempt to discourage any practice to provide a PTR RR for
1.0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA locally. In fact, a meaningful reverse
mapping should exist, but the exact setup is out of the scope of this
document. Similar logic applies to the reverse mapping for ::1
(Section 4.3). The recommendations made here simply assume no other
coverage for these domains exists.
+------------------------------+------------------------+
| Zone | Description |
+------------------------------+------------------------+
| 0.IN-ADDR.ARPA | IPv4 "THIS" NETWORK |
| 127.IN-ADDR.ARPA | IPv4 LOOP-BACK NETWORK |
| 254.169.IN-ADDR.ARPA | IPv4 LINK LOCAL |
| 2.0.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA | IPv4 TEST NET 1 |
| 100.51.198.IN-ADDR.ARPA | IPv4 TEST NET 2 |
| 113.0.203.IN-ADDR.ARPA | IPv4 TEST NET 3 |
| 255.255.255.255.IN-ADDR.ARPA | IPv4 BROADCAST |
+------------------------------+------------------------+
4.3. Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses
The reverse mappings ([RFC3596], Section 2.5 IP6.ARPA Domain) for the
IPv6 Unspecified (::) and Loopback (::1) addresses ([RFC4291],
Sections 2.4, 2.5.2 and 2.5.3) are covered by these two zones:
+-------------------------------------------+
| Zone |
+-------------------------------------------+
| 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.\ |
| 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA |
| 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.\ |
| 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA |
+-------------------------------------------+
Note: Line breaks and a escapes '\' have been inserted above for
readability and to adhere to line width constraints. They are not
parts of the zone names.
Andrews Expires September 26, 2010 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Locally-served DNS Zones March 2010
4.4. IPv6 Locally Assigned Local Addresses
Section 4.4 of [RFC4193] already required special treatment of:
+--------------+
| Zone |
+--------------+
| D.F.IP6.ARPA |
+--------------+
4.5. IPv6 Link Local Addresses
IPv6 Link-Local Addresses as of [RFC4291], Section 2.5.6 are covered
by four distinct reverse DNS zones:
+----------------+
| Zone |
+----------------+
| 8.E.F.IP6.ARPA |
| 9.E.F.IP6.ARPA |
| A.E.F.IP6.ARPA |
| B.E.F.IP6.ARPA |
+----------------+
4.6. IPv6 Example Prefix
IPv6 example prefix [RFC3849].
+--------------------------+
| Zone |
+--------------------------+
| 8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA |
+--------------------------+
Note: 8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA is not being used as a example here.
5. Zones that are Out-Of-Scope
IPv6 site-local addresses (deprecated, see [RFC4291] Sections 2.4 and
2.5.7), and IPv6 Non-Locally Assigned Local addresses ([RFC4193]) are
not covered here.
It is expected that IPv6 site-local addresses will be self correcting
as IPv6 implementations remove support for site-local addresses.
However, sacrificial servers for the zones C.E.F.IP6.ARPA through
F.E.F.IP6.ARPA may still need to be deployed in the short term if the
traffic becomes excessive.
Andrews Expires September 26, 2010 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Locally-served DNS Zones March 2010
For IPv6 Non-Locally Assigned Local addresses (L = 0) [RFC4193],
there has been no decision made about whether the Regional Internet
Registries (RIRs) will provide delegations in this space or not. If
they don't, then C.F.IP6.ARPA will need to be added to the list in
Section 4.4. If they do, then registries will need to take steps to
ensure that name servers are provided for these addresses.
This document also ignores IP6.INT. IP6.INT has been wound up with
only legacy resolvers now generating reverse queries under IP6.INT
[RFC4159].
This document has also deliberately ignored names immediately under
the root domain. While there is a subset of queries to the root name
servers which could be addressed using the techniques described here
(e.g. .local, .workgroup and IPv4 addresses), there is also a vast
amount of traffic that requires a different strategy (e.g. lookups
for unqualified hostnames, IPv6 addresses).
6. IANA Considerations
This document requests that IANA establish a registry of zones which
require this default behaviour. The initial contents of this
registry are defined in Section 4. Implementors are encouraged to
periodically check this registry and adjust their implementations to
reflect changes therein.
This registry can be amended through "IETF Review" as per [RFC5226].
IANA should co-ordinate with the RIRs to ensure that, as DNSSEC is
deployed in the reverse tree, delegations for these zones are made in
the manner described in Section 7.
7. Security Considerations
During the initial deployment phase, particularly where [RFC1918]
addresses are in use, there may be some clients that unexpectedly
receive a name error rather than a PTR record. This may cause some
service disruption until their recursive name server(s) have been re-
configured.
As DNSSEC is deployed within the IN-ADDR.ARPA and IP6.ARPA
namespaces, the zones listed above will need to be delegated as
insecure delegations, or be within insecure zones. This will allow
DNSSEC validation to succeed for queries in these spaces despite not
being answered from the delegated servers.
Andrews Expires September 26, 2010 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Locally-served DNS Zones March 2010
It is recommended that sites actively using these namespaces secure
them using DNSSEC [RFC4035] by publishing and using DNSSEC trust
anchors. This will protect the clients from accidental import of
unsigned responses from the Internet.
