| Internet-Draft | DNS Extension Language | February 2024 |
| Levine & Vixie | Expires 7 August 2024 | [Page] |
Adding new RRTYPEs to the DNS has required that DNS servers and provisioning software be upgraded to support each new RRTYPE in Master files. This document defines a DNS extension language intended to allow most new RRTYPEs to be supported by adding entries to configuration data read by the DNS software, with no software changes needed for each RRTYPE.¶

The Domain Name System[RFC1034] [RFC1035] is designed to be extensible, with new record types, known as RRTYPEs, added as needed. While it is straightforward in principle to add a new RRTYPE, in practice it can be difficult due to the software changes needed to add the new RRTYPE to the master file format read by many authoritative DNS servers, and to the provisioning software used to create and update the master files or the local equivalent.¶
While some new RRTYPEs, notably those for DNSSEC [RFC4033], require that DNS servers do new special purpose processing, most new RRTYPEs are, from the point of view of the DNS, just static data to return to queries, perhaps with some additional section records if the record includes another domain name. This document defines an extension language to describe any RRTYPEs, so that provisioning software can parse master file records for the RRTYPEs. DNS servers can use the extension language to implement RRTYPEs that do not require special purpose processing.¶
The extension language can also be useful in provisioning software, to create input forms and validate the syntax of entered records.¶
The extension language is written as strings of UTF-8 text that describe new RR types, intended to be stored in the DNS itself. (They may also be stored in a local file with a well-known name, for debugging and local overrides, but this usage is optional.) All of the DNS software that needs to handle master file records fetches records from the DNS as needed. To support a new RRTYPE, one would add suitable records to the DNS zone where the descriptions are located, or to the local file.¶
DNS servers can use the extension language to parse new RRTYPE records in master files, and to translate them to the binary representation. Servers that create ASCII master files from zone data retrieved via AXFR can use the extension language to create master file records for new RRTYPEs.¶
Provisioning software can use the extension language to create templates for users to fill in, to create new RRTYPE records in master files to be passed to DNS servers, and to syntax check records entered by users. The extension language includes natural language field descriptions intended to be used as prompts in fill-in templates, and can handle versions of prompts in multiple languages.¶
Provisioning software could create TYPEnn master records if the local DNS server doesn't implement the extension language, although it would be less confusing if both provisioning and server software both accept the same master record syntax.¶
Some DNS servers store records in ways other than master files, such as SQL databases. The extension language could be used to create new schema entries to handle new RRTYPEs, although the details are too specific to particular varieties of DNS server software for this document to try to describe the details.¶
The extension language can describe all existing RRTYPEs, which may be useful in table driven provisioning software.¶
The extension language consists of "stanzas", each of which defines an RRTYPE. In the DNS, a stanza is stored as a multi-string TXT record, with each string conceptually being a line in the stanza. In a file, it is stored as a series of lines. The first line of a stanza defines the symbolic RRTYPE name. Subsequent lines, which must start with white space, each define a field in the record. Blank lines and comment lines where the first nonblank character is "#" are ignored.¶
The following ABNF imports ALPHA, DIGIT, and WSP from [RFC5234].¶
ldh = ALPHA 0*(ALPHA | DIGIT | "-")
dnsextfile = 1*stanza
stanza = rrtypeline 1*fieldline
rrtypeline = ldh ":" 1*DIGIT 0*1(":" 1*ALPHA) 0*1(WSP freetext)
fieldline = ftype 0*1qualifiers 0*1(":" ldh ) 0*1(WSP freetext)
ftype = "I1" | "I2" | "I4" | "A" | "AA" | "AAAA" | "N" | "S" |
"B32" | "B64" | "X" | "EUI48" | "EUI64" | "T" | "Z"
qualifiers = "[" qual 0*(, qual) "]"
qual = ldh "=" 1*DIGIT | "C" | "A" | "L" | "M" | "X" | "P" |
"WKS" | "NSAP" | "NXT" | "A6P" | "A6S" | "APL" | "IPSECKEY" |
"HIPHIT" | "HIPPK"
freetext = 0*(%x20-%xfe)¶
Each extension language stanza stored in the DNS is stored as two identical TXT records, one with a name based on the numeric RR type, one with a name based on the text name. (One record may be aliased to the other using a CNAME.) The numeric names are located at RRTYPE.ARPA, and the text names are located at RRNAME.ARPA.¶
The first string in the TXT record are the identification tag "RRTYPE=1" to identify the record as an RRTYPE definition. Each line of the stanza is a string in the TXT records. The leading spaces used in the file format (described below) are not used. The record name may also have a language tag [RFC5646] prefix that identifies the language in which the descriptive text is written. There should always be an unprefixed record for each type, to be the default if there is no record in the desired languge, which might be aliased to a prefixed record with CNAME.¶
For example, if the FOO record type were type 999, the two records for an English language description would be:¶
999.RRTYPE.ARPA. TXT "RRTYPE=1" "FOO:999 Foorec" "I2:count Count" "..." FOO.RRNAME.ARPA. TXT "RRTYPE=1" "FOO:999 Foorec" "I2:count Count" "..."¶
If there are descriptions in multiple languages, they are stored with name prefixes, and applications can choose the most suitable one.¶
EN.999.RRTYPE.ARPA. TXT "RRTYPE=1" "FOO:999 Foo rec" "..." 999.RRTYPE.ARPA. CNAME EN.999.RTYPE.ARPA. FR.999.RRTYPE.ARPA. TXT "RRTYPE=1" "FOO:999 Un foo" "..." EN.FOO.RRNAME.ARPA. TXT "RRTYPE=1" "FOO:999 Foo rec" "..." FOO.RRTYPE.ARPA. CNAME EN.FOO.RTYPE.ARPA. FR.FOO.RRNAME.ARPA. TXT "RRTYPE=1" "FOO:999 Un foo" "..."¶
A directory of all of the available RR names is stored at _LIST.RRTYPE.ARPA. It is a TXT record containing RRTYPE=1 followed by each name as a separate string, e.g.:¶
_LIST.RRNAME.ARPA. TXT "RRTYPE=1" "A" "A6" ... "WKS" "X25"¶
All the extension language stanzas stored in a file are stored as lines of ASCII text. The name of the RR type starts in the first position of the first line in the stanza. Subsequent lines in the stanza start with white space. A line that is blank or where the first nonblank character is a # is a comment and is ignored.¶
Descriptions in different languages are stored in separate files. A directory of names can be created by scanning the file.¶
Each stanza starts with a line containing the name of the RRTYPE, a colon, and the numeric RRTYPE. The name of the RRTYPE must start in the first position on the line. When stored in a file, the RRTYPE name should not be the same as an existing RRTYPE or DNS class name (IN or CH) or bad things will happen.¶
The RRTYPE may be followed a colon and letters, to indicate options for the RRTYPE. The letter is "X" means that implementing the RRTYPE requires extra processing by DNS servers, e.g., the extra processing for DNAME or DNSSEC records. The intention of the option is to allow DNS servers to report an error if a zone contains a record defined with "X" for which the server does not implement the extra processing. The letters "I" and "A" mean that the RRTYPE is defined in the IN class only, or in any class, respectively. The letters "O" and "E" indicate that the type is obsolete or experimental, respectively.¶
That can be followed by white space and a descriptive comment intended to be displayed to human users, but not interpreted by DNS software. Provisioning software might use the comments as prompts or labels to help a user select the desired RRTYPE.¶
The rest of the lines in the stanza describe the fields in the record. Each field is one or more octets long, and fields are stored sequentially in the record:¶
FOO:999 Foo record
field description
field:tag description
field[qual,qual] description
field[qual,qual]:tag description
field ...¶
Some fields may be followed by a comma-separated list of qualifiers in square brackets. The qualifiers further define the field, e.g., in a numeric field, the qualifiers may define symbolic names for field values or bit masks. That can be followed by an colon and an ldh string. The string is intended to be used as the name of the field in software applications that create data structures for an RRTYPE. Applications will often have to change the punctuation to match the syntax of the programming language, such as replacing hyphens with underscores. If two fields in an RRTYPE have the same name, the result is undefined.¶
The field and optional qualifiers and name may be followed by white space and a description of the field. The description is intended to be displayed to human users, and is not interpreted by DNS software. Provisioning software might use the comments as prompts or labels for templates into which users enter RR data.¶
Each field type is defined by a token name consisting of letters and digits, starting with a letter.¶
Integer fields are defined by I1, I2, and I4 tokens, for fields one, two, or four octets long. The corresponding value in a master record is an unsigned integer number. A field may be followed by qualifiers defining symbolic field values.¶
A symbolic field value is represented as NAME=NN where NAME is the symbol and NN is the numeric value to be placed in the field. The corresponding value in a master record is the symbol. The symbol can contain letters, digits, and hypens. For example, to define the type field in a CERT record [RFC4398]:¶
I2[PKIX=1,SPKI=2,PGP=2,IPKIX=4,ISPKI=5,IPGP=6,ACPKIX=7,\
IACPKIX=8,URI=253,OID=254]:type Certificate type
¶
RRTYPE fields are defined by R tokens, for a two octet field containing an RRTYPE. The corresponding value in a master record is a symbolic RRTYPE or TYPEnnn for types without names. A R[L] token and qualifier defines a structured bitmap of RRTYPEs used in NSEC and NSEC3 records, which must be the last field in the record. The corresponding value in a master record is a list of RRTYPEs.¶
IP address fields are defined by A or AAAA tokens, for four-octet IPv4 addresses or 16-octet IPv6 addresses. The corresponding value in a master record is an IP address written in the usual way. There are no qualifiers.¶
The AA token defines a 64 bit field written like half of an IPv6 address, with up to four colon separated groups of up to four hex digits.¶
Domain name fields are defined by N tokens. The qualifier C means the name is compressed. The qualifier A means that the domain name represents a mailbox, with the first component being the local part of the mailbox. The qualifier L means that the domain name is converted to lower case before DNSSEC validation. An N tag and an O qualifier, which can only appear as the last field in a record, means the name is optional.¶
The corresponding value in a master record is a domain name, written in the usual way, with \. meaning a literal dot in a record.¶
Names are absolute if they end with a dot, otherwise relative to $ORIGIN, the convention for master files.¶
String fields are defined by S tokens. A plain S token means a single string preceded by a one-octet length. A S[M] token and qualifier means that there may be multiple strings, each stored as a length and string in the record. A S[M] field must be the last field in the record.¶
An S[X] token and qualifier is a raw string, stored without any length bytes. It must be the last field in the record.¶
The corresponding value in a master record is a string enclosed in single or double quotes, or multiple strings if the M qualifier is present. Embedded quotes may be escaped with a backslash, and a double backslash represents a backslash. If a non-null string contains no white space, quote characters, or backslashes, the quotes may be omitted.¶
A base32 or base64 field is defined by a B32 or B64 token. A base32 field is stored in the record with a preceding one-octet length. A base64 field is stored as binary data, and must be the last field in the record.¶
The corresponding value in a master record is a string represented as base32 or base64 [RFC3548]. The value of a base64 field may include embedded spaces for readability, which are ignored.¶
A hex field is defined by an X token. A plain X field is binary data. An X[C] token and qualifier means that the field is stored in the record as a string with a preceding one-octet length. An unqualified hex field must be the last field in the record, and may include embedded spaces for readability, which are ignored.¶
The corresponding value in a master record is a string represented as an even number of hexadecimal digits.¶
EUI48 and EUI64 fields are defined by X6 and X8 tokens, respectively. The corresponding fields in master records are six or eight pairs of hex digits separated by hyphens.¶
A 32-bit timestamp field is defined by a T token. The corresponding value in a master record is a fourteen digit value in the form YYYYMMDDHHmmSS indicating a UTC timestamp, or as an unsigned number of seconds with ten digits or less. The field is stored in the record as a Unix timestamp, the unsigned number of seconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC.¶
Some RRTYPEs have fields with a unique syntax, represented as qualifiers in a Z field.¶
Z[WKS] is the bitmap of port numbers in the WKS [RFC1035] RRTYPE.¶
Z[NSAP] is the special hex syntax for the address in the NSAP [RFC1706] RRTYPE.¶
Z[NXT] is the bitmap of RRTYPES in the NXT [RFC2535] RRTYPE.¶
Z[A6P] and Z[A6S] are the prefix length and the variable length address suffix in the A6 [RFC2874] RRTYPE.¶
Z[APL] is the list of address prefixes in the APL [RFC3123] RRTYPE.¶
Z[IPSECKEY] is the variable format gateway in the IPSECKEY [RFC4025] RRTYPE.¶
Z[HIPHIT] and Z[HIPPK] are the hex HIT and base64 PK fields with detached implicit lengths in the HIP [RFC5205] RRTYPE.¶
Z[SVCB] is the list of service parameters in the SVCB and HTTPS [RFC9460] RRTYPEs.¶
A description of an MX record could be defined as:¶
MX:15 Mail exchanger I2:priority Priority (lower values are higher priority) N[A,C]:exchanger Host name¶
The name is MX, the RRTYPE is 15, and the data includes a two-octet number and a compressed domain name, with additional section records for the domain name.¶
The SRV record [RFC2782] could be defined as:¶
SRV:33 Service location I2:priority Priority I2:weight Weight I2:port Port N:target Target host name¶
The name is SRV, the RRTYPE is 33. The record contains three two-octet fields for the priority, weight, and port, and a domain name. The domain name is not compressed.¶
The extension language makes it possible to create master files that represent arbitrary DNS records. Since most DNS servers already provide ways to represent arbitrary data, this doesn't introduce any new security issues to the DNS and DNS servers, although it may create security issues in provisioning software if the provisioning system is intended to limit the kinds of records its users can define.¶
Extension language files with accidentally or deliberately invalid field definitions could provoke odd bugs in server or provisioning software that doesn't check the syntax before using it.¶
When extension language data are imported from the DNS, a hostile party might use DNS spoofing techniques to modify the records imported. Methods to defend against DNS spoofing include DNSSEC.¶
This document requests that IANA create the RRTYPE.ARPA and RRNAME.ARPA zones. Their initial contents are as shown in Appendix B.¶
When new RR types are defined, the defining documents SHOULD request IANA to add appropriate records to RRTYPE.ARPA and RRNAME.ARPA.¶
