draft-mglt-dprive-dns-uri-00

Abstract

Today DNS resources may also be accessed using multiple transport which includes DNS over UDP/TCP port 53 [RFC1034],[RFC1035]. DNS over TLS [RFC7858] or DNS over HTTPS [RFC8484]. This document describes URIs that describes the DNS resource as well as indicate the transport to access the resource.

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.

2. Introduction

[RFC4501] defines an URI [RFC7553] for DNS resources accessed but does not specify the transport used to access the DNS resource.

Today DNS resources may also be accessed using multiple transport layers which includes DNS over UDP/TCP port 53 [RFC1034],[RFC1035]. DNS over TLS [RFC7858] or DNS over HTTPS [RFC8484]. This document describes URIs that describes the DNS resource as well as indicate the transport to access the resource.

3. DNS over UDP/TCP 53

This section describes the URI template for the registration of the URI as described in [RFC7595] to describe DNS resources being accessed using DNS over TLS.

URL scheme name: "dns53".

URL scheme syntax: A DNS URI designates a DNS resource record set,
referenced by domain name, class, type, and, optionally, the
authority.  The DNS URI follows the generic syntax from {{RFC3986}}
and is described using ABNF {{RFC5234}}.  Strings are not case 
sensitive, and free insertion of linear-white-space is not permitted.

dnsurl          = "dns53:" [ "//" dnsauthority "/" ]
                  dnsname ["?" dnsquery]

dnsauthority    = host [ ":" port ]
                             ; See RFC 3986 for the
                             ; definition of "host" and "port".

dnsname         = *pchar
                             ; See RFC 3986 for the
                             ; definition of "pchar".

                             ; The "dnsname" field may be a
                             ; "relative" or "absolute" name,
                             ; as per RFC 1034, section 3.1.

                             ; Note further that an empty
                             ; "dnsname" value is to be
                             ; interpreted as the root itself.
                             ; See below on relative dnsnames.

dnsquery        = dnsqueryelement [";" dnsquery]

dnsqueryelement = ( "CLASS=" dnsclassval ) / ( "TYPE=" dnstypeval )
                             ; Each clause MUST NOT be used more
                             ; than once.

dnsclassval     = 1*digit / "IN" / "CH" /
                  <Any IANA registered DNS class mnemonic>

dnstypeval      = 1*digit / "A" / "NS" / "MD" /
                  <Any IANA registered DNS type mnemonic>

The DNS resource follows [RFC4501] but indicates the DNS resource MUST be accessed using UDP or TCP as described in [RFC1034] or [RFC1035].

4. DNS over TLS URI Registration

This section describes the URI template for the registration of the URI as described in [RFC7595] to describe DNS resources being accessed using DNS over TLS.

URL scheme name: "dot".

URL scheme syntax: A DNS URI designates a DNS resource record set,
referenced by domain name, class, type, and, optionally, the
authority.  The DNS URI follows the generic syntax from {{RFC3986}}
and is described using ABNF {{RFC5234}}.  Strings are not case 
sensitive, and free insertion of linear-white-space is not permitted.

dnsurl          = "dot:" [ "//" dnsauthority "/" ]
                  dnsname ["?" dnsquery]

dnsauthority    = host [ ":" port ]
                             ; See RFC 3986 for the
                             ; definition of "host" and "port".

dnsname         = *pchar
                             ; See RFC 3986 for the
                             ; definition of "pchar".

                             ; The "dnsname" field may be a
                             ; "relative" or "absolute" name,
                             ; as per RFC 1034, section 3.1.

                             ; Note further that an empty
                             ; "dnsname" value is to be
                             ; interpreted as the root itself.
                             ; See below on relative dnsnames.

dnsquery        = dnsqueryelement [";" dnsquery]

dnsqueryelement = ( "CLASS=" dnsclassval ) / ( "TYPE=" dnstypeval )
                             ; Each clause MUST NOT be used more
                             ; than once.

dnsclassval     = 1*digit / "IN" / "CH" /
                  <Any IANA registered DNS class mnemonic>

dnstypeval      = 1*digit / "A" / "NS" / "MD" /
                  <Any IANA registered DNS type mnemonic>

The DNS resource follows [RFC4501] but indicates the DNS resource MUST be accessed using TCP over TLS as described in [RFC7858].

5. DNS over HTTPS URI registration

This section describes the URI template for the registration of the URI as described in [RFC8484] to describe DNS resources being accessed using DNS over HTTPS.

URL scheme name: "doh".

URL scheme syntax: A DNS URI designates a DNS resource record set,
referenced by domain name, class, type, and, optionally, the
authority.  The DNS URI follows the generic syntax from {{RFC3986}}
and is described using ABNF {{RFC5234}}.  Strings are not case 
sensitive, and free insertion of linear-white-space is not permitted.

dnsurl          = "doh:" [ "//" dnsauthority "/" ]
                  dnsname ["?" dnsquery]

dnsauthority    = host [ ":" port ] [ "/" abs_path ] 
                             ; See RFC 3986 for the
                             ; definition of "host" and "port"
                             ; "abs_path"


dnsname         = *pchar
                             ; See RFC 3986 for the
                             ; definition of "pchar".

                             ; The "dnsname" field may be a
                             ; "relative" or "absolute" name,
                             ; as per RFC 1034, section 3.1.

                             ; Note further that an empty
                             ; "dnsname" value is to be
                             ; interpreted as the root itself.
                             ; See below on relative dnsnames.

dnsquery        = dnsqueryelement [";" dnsquery]

dnsqueryelement = ( "CLASS=" dnsclassval ) / ( "TYPE=" dnstypeval )
                             ; Each clause MUST NOT be used more
                             ; than once.

dnsclassval     = 1*digit / "IN" / "CH" /
                  <Any IANA registered DNS class mnemonic>

dnstypeval      = 1*digit / "A" / "NS" / "MD" /
                  <Any IANA registered DNS type mnemonic>

The DNS resource follows [RFC4501] but indicates the DNS resource MUST be accessed using HTTPS as described in [RFC8484].
