                 draft-pusateri-dnsop-update-timeout-03

Abstract

   This specification defines a new DNS TIMEOUT resource record (RR)
   that associates a lifetime with one or more zone resource records
   with the same owner name, type, and class.  It is intended to be used
   to transfer resource record lifetime state between a zone's primary
   and secondary servers and to store lifetime state during server
   software restarts.

1.  Introduction

   DNS Update [RFC2136] provides a mechanism to dynamically add/remove
   DNS resource records to/from a zone.  When a resource record is
   dynamically added, it remains in the zone until it is removed
   manually or via a subsequent DNS Update.  The context of a dynamic
   update may provide lifetime hints for the updated records (such as
   the EDNS(0) Update Lease option [I-D.sekar-dns-ul]), however, this
   lifetime is not communicated to secondary servers and will not endure
   through server software restarts.  This specification defines a new
   DNS TIMEOUT resource record that associates lifetimes with one or
   more resource records with the same owner name, type, and class that
   can be transferred to secondary servers through normal AXFR
   [RFC5936], IXFR [RFC1995] transfer mechanisms.

   An UPDATE lifetime could be stored in a proprietary database on an
   authoritative primary server but there is an advantage to saving it
   as a resource record: redundant master servers and secondary servers
   capable of taking over as the primary server for a zone automatically
   can benefit from the existing database synchronization of resource

Internet-Draft           TIMEOUT Resource Record               July 2019

   records.  In addition, primary and secondary servers from multiple
   vendors can synchronize the lifetimes through the open format
   provided by a resource record.

   TIMEOUT records can be installed via policy by a primary server,
   manually, or via an external UPDATE from a client.  If TIMEOUT
   records are being managed by an UPDATE client, the client should be
   aware of server software policy with respect to TIMEOUT records to
   prevent the TIMEOUT records from being rejected.  The primary server
   has ultimate responsibility for the records in the database and the
   client must work within the restrictions of the policy of the primary
   server.

   TIMEOUT records can be thought of as a universal method for removing
   stale dynamic DNS records.  Clients such as DHCP lease servers who
   best know the lease lifetimes can include individual TIMEOUT records
   in the dynamic UPDATE messages specific for each lease lifetime.
   These TIMEOUT records can be refreshed when the lease is refreshed
   and will timeout the A, AAAA, and PTR records if they are not
   refreshed by the DHCP server.  Additional use cases include service
   discovery resource records installed in unicast DNS servers via
   UPDATE described in [RFC6763], Active Directory Controllers
   publishing SRV records, and DNS TXT validation resource records
   supporting ACME certificate management as described in Section 8.4 of
   [RFC8555].

2.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.  These words may also appear in this
   document in lower case as plain English words, absent their normative
   meanings.

3.  Sources of TIMEOUT Expiry Time

   The expire time may come from many different sources.  A few are
   listed here however, this list is not considered complete.  TIMEOUT
   records may be included along side the records they represent in the
   UPDATE message or they be synthesized by the primary server receiving
   the UPDATE.

   1.  Via DHCP Dynamic Lease Lifetimes.

   2.  Via EDNS(0) Update Lease option [I-D.sekar-dns-ul] communicated
       in DNS Update.

Internet-Draft           TIMEOUT Resource Record               July 2019

   3.  Via an administrative default value such as one day (86400
       seconds).

4.  Resource Record Composition

   TIMEOUT resource records provide expiry times for a mixed variety of
   resource record types with the same owner name, type, and class.
   Since there could exist multiple records of the same record type with
   the same owner name and class, the TIMEOUT resource record must be
   able to identify each of these records individually with only
   different RDATA.  As an example, PTR records for service discovery
   [RFC6763] provide a level of indirection to SRV and TXT records by
   instance name.  The instance name is stored in the PTR RDATA and
   multiple PTR records with the same owner name but only differing
   RDATA often exist.

   In order to distinguish each individual record with potentially
   different expiry times, the TIMEOUT resource record contains an
   exipry time, the record type, a method to identify the actual records
   for which the expiry time applies, and a count of the number of
   records represented.  Multiple TIMEOUT records with the same owner
   name and class are created for each expiry time, record type, and
   resource record representation.  If the expiry time is the same,
   multiple records can be combined into a single TIMEOUT record with
   the same owner name, class, and record type but this is not required.

   The fields and their values in a TIMEOUT record are defined as:

4.1.  Represented Record Type

   A 16-bit field containing the resource record type to which the
   TIMEOUT record applies.  Multiple TIMEOUT records for the same owner
   name, class, and represented type can exist.  Any resource record
   type can be specified in the Represented Record Type including
   another TIMEOUT record.  This specification does not put any
   restrictions on the record type but implementations in authoritative
   servers will likely do so for policy and security reasons.

4.2.  Represented Record Count

   The Represented Record Count is a 8-bit value that specifies the
   number of records of the specified record type with this expiry time.

   An RR Count of zero indicates that it is not necessary to represent
   any records in the list.  This is a shortcut notation meaning all
   resource records with the same owner name, class, and record type use
   the same Expiry Time.  When the Represented Record Count is 0, the

Pusateri & Wattenberg    Expires January 7, 2020                [Page 4]
Internet-Draft           TIMEOUT Resource Record               July 2019

   Method Identifer is set to NO METHOD (0) on transmission and ignored
   on reception.

   In the unlikely event that the Represented Record Count exceeds 255
   which is the largest number representable in 8 bits, multiple
   instances of the same Expiry Time can exist.

4.3.  Method Identifiers

   The Method Identifier is a 8-bit value that specifies an identifier
   for the algorithm used to distinguish between resource records.  The
   identifiers are declared in a registry maintained by IANA for the
   purpose of listing acceptable methods for this purpose.  In addition
   to the method and the index, the registry MAY contain a fixed output
   length in bits of the method to be used or the term "variable" to
   denote a variable length output per record.  It is conceivable,
   though not likely, that the same method could be used with different
   fixed output lengths.  In this case, each fixed output length would
   require a different identifier in the registry.  Additions to this
   registry will be approved with additional documentation under expert
   review.  At the time that the registry is created by IANA, a group of
   expert reviewers will be established.

   Additional methods of representing records such as hashes or other
   algorithms may be defined in the future.  If such methods are
   defined, a primary server could create TIMEOUT record using a new
   method that is not understood by a secondary server that could take
   over as the primary in the event of an outage or administrative
   change.  In this case, the new primary would not be able to identify
   the records it is supposed to TIMEOUT.  This is a misconfiguration
   and it is the responsibility of the administrator to ensure that
   secondary servers in a position to become primary understand the
   TIMEOUT record methods of the primary server.

4.3.1.  Method Identifier 0: NO METHOD

   The method identifier of 0 is defined as "NO METHOD" and MUST NOT be
   used if the represented record count is greater than 0.  The value of
   0 is to be included in the IANA registry of method identifier values.

4.3.2.  Method Identifier 1: RDATA

   The method identifier of 1 is defined as "RDATA".  It begins with the
   RDATA length as a 16-bit value containing the length of the RDATA in
   bytes followed by the number of bytes of RDATA as appears in the
   record being represented.  The record MUST be in canonical DNSSEC
   form as described in Section 6 of [RFC4034].  Any comparisons of
   RDATA in an actual record covered by the TIMEOUT against the

Internet-Draft           TIMEOUT Resource Record               July 2019

   Represented RDATA contained in a TIMEOUT record must be compared in
   canonical form.

4.4.  Expiry Time

   The expiry time is a 64-bit number expressed as the number of seconds
   since the UNIX epoch (00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970).  This value
   is an absolute time at which the record will expire.  Lease times
   must be converted to an absolute expiry time when received.

5.  TIMEOUT RDATA Wire Format

   The TIMEOUT resource record follows the same pattern as other DNS
   resource records as defined in Section 3.2.1 of [RFC1035] including
   owner name, type, class, TTL, RDATA length, and RDATA.

   The RDATA section of the resource record with method identifier RDATA
   (1) is illustrated in Figure 1:

   of the represented type for the same owner name and class.

6.  Primary Server Behavior

   A TIMEOUT resource record MUST be removed when the last resource
   record it covers has been removed.  This may be due to the record
   expiring (reaching the expiry time) or due to a subsequent DNS Update
   or administrative action.  If the TIMEOUT record is being managed by
   the primary server, it has the responsibility to remove it.  If the
   TIMEOUT record was installed by an external UPDATE client, the UPDATE
   client has the responsibility to remove it.  The primary server is
   the ultimate source of the database and policy established by the
   server may overrule the actions of external clients.  The primary
   server is ultimately responsible for ensuring the database is
   consistent but until TIMEOUT record management is built-in to
   authoritative server software, external UPDATE clients will likely
   manage the records.

   Upon receiving any DNS UPDATE deleting resource records that might
   have been covered by a TIMEOUT RR, a primary server MUST remove all
   represented records in all of the TIMEOUT records with the same owner
   name, class, and represented type.

   The TIMEOUT record TTL should use the default TTL for the zone like
   any other record.  The TTL values of the records covered by a TIMEOUT
   are not affected by the TIMEOUT expiry time and may be longer than
   the expirey time.  The TIMEOUT RR is mostly for the benefit of the

Pusateri & Wattenberg    Expires January 7, 2020                [Page 7]
Internet-Draft           TIMEOUT Resource Record               July 2019

   authoritative server to know when to remove the records.  The fact
   that some records might live longer in the cache of a resolver is no
   different than other records that might get removed while still in a
   remote resolver cache.

7.  Secondary Server Behavior

   A secondary server may or may not understand TIMEOUT resource
   records.  If a secondary server does not understand them, they are
   treated like any other resource record that the server may not
   understand [RFC3597].

   A secondary server MUST NOT expire the records in a zone it maintains
   covered by the TIMEOUT resource record and it MUST NOT expire the
   TIMEOUT resource record itself when the last record it covers has
   expired.  The secondary server MUST always wait for the records to be
   removed or updated by the primary server.

8.  TIMEOUT RDATA Presentation Format

   Record Type:
         resource record type mnemonics.  When the mnemonic is unknown,
         the TYPE representation described in Section 5 of [RFC3597]

   Represented Record Count:
         unsigned decimal integer (0-255)

   Method Identifier:
         unsigned decimal integer (0-255)

   Expiry Time:
         The Expiry Time is displayed as a compact numeric-only
         representation of ISO 8601.  All punctuation is removed.  This
         form is slightly different than the recommendation in [RFC3339]
         but is common for DNS protocols.  It is defined in Section 3.2
         of [RFC4034] as YYYYMMDDHHmmSS in UTC.  This form will always
         be exactly 14 digits since no component is optional.

         YYYY is the year;
         MM is the month number (01-12);
         DD is the day of the month (01-31);
         HH is the hour, in 24 hour notation (00-23);
         mm is the minute (00-59); and
         SS is the second (00-60) where 60 is only possible as a leap
         second.

   RDATA Length:
         unsigned decimal integer

9.  IANA Considerations

   This document defines a new DNS Resource Record Type named TIMEOUT to
   be exchanged between authoritative primary and secondary DNS servers.
   It is assigned out of the DNS Parameters Resource Record (RR) Type
   registry.  The value for the TIMEOUT resource record type is TBA.

   This document establishes a new registry of DNS TIMEOUT Resource
   Record Method Identifier values.  The registry shall include a
   numeric identifier, a method name, a description of the method, and
   the length of the output function in bits or the keyword "variable".
   The identifier is to be used in the RDATA section of the TIMEOUT
   resource record.

   Initially, there are two values defined in the registry.  Values from
   240 (0xF0) through 255 (0xFF) are reserved for experimental use.

10.  Security Considerations

   There is no secure relationship between a TIMEOUT resource record and
   the represented resource records it applies to.  TIMEOUT records
   should typically only apply to resource records created through the
   UPDATE mechanism.  Protection for permanent resource records in a
   zone is advisable.

   Authenticated UPDATE operations MUST be REQUIRED at authoritative
   name servers supporting TIMEOUT resource records.

Appendix A.  Example TIMEOUT resource records

   The following example shows sample TIMEOUT resource records based on
   DNS UPDATEs containing A and AAAA address records plus the
   corresponding PTR records.

   A host sending a name registration at time Tn for "A" and "AAAA"
   records with lease lifetime Ln would have a series of UPDATEs (one
   for each zone) that contain:

   +-------------------------------------------+------+----------------+
   | Name                                      | RR   | Value          |
   |                                           | Type |                |
   +-------------------------------------------+------+----------------+
   | s.example.com.                            | A    | 192.0.2.5      |
   | s.example.com.                            | AAAA | 12001:db8::5   |
   | 5.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa.                   | PTR  | s.example.com. |
   | 5.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.b8.0d.01.20.ip6.a | PTR  | s.example.com. |
   | rpa. (bytes)                              |      |                |
   +-------------------------------------------+------+----------------+

                  Table 2: Example Address Records Update

   Next, consider the TIMEOUT resource records that would be generated
   for the records in Table 2.

                     Table 3: Address TIMEOUT records

   Next, assume there are two hosts advertising the same service type
   (different service types will have different owner names).  We will
   use _ipp._tcp.example.com as an example.

   Host A sends an UPDATE at time Ta with lease life La for PTR, SRV, A,
   AAAA, and TXT records.  Host B sends an UPDATE at time Tb with lease
   life Lb for PTR, SRV, A, and TXT records.

   For these printer registrations, the TIMEOUT records on the server
   would look like the following:
