Relax CNAME-alike semantics #37

Closed matje closed 5 years ago

On the list, Brian Dickson and Dan York talked about "just as if there was a CNAME there”. The -02 draft tries to have semantics very close to CNAME, but there are other interesting possibilities if we relax that requirement.

It seems that Brian and Dan are talking about "behave as if a CNAME is there". ANAME (or HTTP) record I believe already does that. The only difference with ANAME is that an authoritative zone may already have tried to improve the target response.

(what I mean with relaxing the CNAME-alike semantics is that ANAME should actually not copy all the restrictions that CNAME have, that causing is issues right now).

Closing this issue.
