RFC 4704 The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option October 2006
1. Introduction
DNS ([2], [3]) maintains (among other things) the information about
mapping between hosts' Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) [10] and
IPv6 addresses assigned to the hosts. The information is maintained
in two types of Resource Records (RRs): AAAA and PTR [12]. The DNS
update specification [4] describes a mechanism that enables DNS
information to be updated over a network.
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) [5]
provides a mechanism by which a host (a DHCPv6 client) can acquire
certain configuration information, along with its stateful IPv6
address(es). This document specifies a new DHCPv6 option, the Client
FQDN option, which can be used by DHCPv6 clients and servers to
exchange information about the client's fully qualified domain name
and about who has the responsibility for updating the DNS with the
associated AAAA and PTR RRs.
2. Terminology
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 [1].
Familiarity with the DNS Update protocol [4] and with DHCPv6 and its
terminology, as defined in [5], is assumed.
3. Models of Operation
When a DHCPv6 client acquires an address, a site's administrator may
desire that the AAAA RR for the client's FQDN and the PTR RR for the
acquired address be updated. Therefore, two separate DNS update
transactions may occur. Acquiring an address via DHCPv6 involves two
entities: a DHCPv6 client and a DHCPv6 server. In principle, each of
these entities could perform none, one, or both of the DNS update
transactions. However, in practice, not all permutations make sense.
The DHCPv6 Client FQDN option is primarily intended to operate in the
following two cases:
1. DHCPv6 client updates the AAAA RR; DHCPv6 server updates the PTR
RR.
2. DHCPv6 server updates both the AAAA and the PTR RRs.
The only difference between these two cases is whether the FQDN-to-
IPv6-address mapping is updated by a DHCPv6 client or by a DHCPv6
server. The IPv6-address-to-FQDN mapping is updated by a DHCPv6
server in both cases.
Volz Standards Track PAGE 3
RFC 4704 The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option October 2006
The reason these two are important, while others are unlikely, has to
do with authority over the respective DNS domain names. A DHCPv6
client may be given authority over mapping its own AAAA RRs, or that
authority may be restricted to a server to prevent the client from
listing arbitrary addresses or associating its addresses with
arbitrary domain names. In all cases, the only reasonable place for
the authority over the PTR RRs associated with the address is in the
DHCPv6 server that allocates the address.
Note: A third case is supported in which the client requests that the
server perform no updates. However, this case is presumed to be rare
because of the authority issues.
In any case, whether a site permits all, some, or no DHCPv6 servers
and clients to perform DNS updates into the zones that it controls is
entirely a matter of local administrative policy. This document does
not require any specific administrative policy and does not propose
one. The range of possible policies is very broad, from sites where
only the DHCPv6 servers have been given credentials that the DNS
servers will accept, to sites where each individual DHCPv6 client has
been configured with credentials that allow the client to modify its
own domain name. Compliant implementations MAY support some or all
of these possibilities. Furthermore, this specification applies only
to DHCPv6 client and server processes: it does not apply to other
processes that initiate DNS updates.
This document describes a new DHCPv6 option that a client can use to
convey all or part of its domain name to a DHCPv6 server. Site-
specific policy determines whether or not DHCPv6 servers use the
names that clients offer, and what DHCPv6 servers do in cases where
clients do not supply domain names.
4. The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option
To update the IPv6-address-to-FQDN mapping, a DHCPv6 server needs to
know the FQDN of the client for the addresses for the client's IA_NA
bindings. To allow the client to convey its FQDN to the server, this
document defines a new DHCPv6 option called "Client FQDN". The
Client FQDN option also contains Flags that DHCPv6 clients and
servers use to negotiate who does which updates.
The code for this option is 39. Its minimum length is 1 octet.
Volz Standards Track PAGE 4
RFC 4704 The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option October 2006
The format of the DHCPv6 Client FQDN option is shown below:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| OPTION_FQDN | option-len |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| flags | |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |
. .
. domain-name .
. .
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
option-code OPTION_CLIENT_FQDN (39)
option-len 1 + length of domain name
flags flag bits used between client and server to
negotiate who performs which updates
domain-name the partial or fully qualified domain name
(with length option-len - 1)
The Client FQDN option MUST only appear in a message's options field
and applies to all addresses for all IA_NA bindings in the
transaction.
4.1. The Flags Field
The format of the Flags field is:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| MBZ |N|O|S|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
The "S" bit indicates whether the server SHOULD or SHOULD NOT perform
the AAAA RR (FQDN-to-address) DNS updates. A client sets the bit to
0 to indicate that the server SHOULD NOT perform the updates and 1 to
indicate that the server SHOULD perform the updates. The state of
the bit in the reply from the server indicates the action to be taken
by the server; if it is 1, the server has taken responsibility for
AAAA RR updates for the FQDN.
Volz Standards Track PAGE 5
RFC 4704 The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option October 2006
The "O" bit indicates whether the server has overridden the client's
preference for the "S" bit. A client MUST set this bit to 0. A
server MUST set this bit to 1 if the "S" bit in its reply to the
client does not match the "S" bit received from the client.
The "N" bit indicates whether the server SHOULD NOT perform any DNS
updates. A client sets this bit to 0 to request that the server
SHOULD perform updates (the PTR RR and possibly the AAAA RR based on
the "S" bit) or to 1 to request that the server SHOULD NOT perform
any DNS updates. A server sets the "N" bit to indicate whether the
server SHALL (0) or SHALL NOT (1) perform DNS updates. If the "N"
bit is 1, the "S" bit MUST be 0.
The remaining bits in the Flags field are reserved for future
assignment. DHCPv6 clients and servers that send the Client FQDN
option MUST clear the MBZ bits, and they MUST ignore these bits.
4.2. The Domain Name Field
The Domain Name part of the option carries all or part of the FQDN of
a DHCPv6 client. The data in the Domain Name field MUST be encoded
as described in Section 8 of [5]. In order to determine whether the
FQDN has changed between message exchanges, the client and server
MUST NOT alter the Domain Name field contents unless the FQDN has
actually changed.
A client MAY be configured with a fully qualified domain name or with
a partial name that is not fully qualified. If a client knows only
part of its name, it MAY send a name that is not fully qualified,
indicating that it knows part of the name but does not necessarily
know the zone in which the name is to be embedded.
To send a fully qualified domain name, the Domain Name field is set
to the DNS-encoded domain name including the terminating zero-length
label. To send a partial name, the Domain Name field is set to the
DNS-encoded domain name without the terminating zero-length label.
A client MAY also leave the Domain Name field empty if it desires the
server to provide a name.
Servers SHOULD send the complete fully qualified domain name in
Client FQDN options.
Volz Standards Track PAGE 6
RFC 4704 The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option October 2006
5. DHCPv6 Client Behavior
The following describes the behavior of a DHCPv6 client that
implements the Client FQDN option.
A client MUST only include the Client FQDN option in SOLICIT,
REQUEST, RENEW, or REBIND messages.
A client that sends the Client FQDN option MUST also include the
option in the Option Request option if it expects the server to
include the Client FQDN option in any responses.
5.1. Client Desires to Update AAAA RRs
If a client that owns/maintains its own FQDN wants to be responsible
for updating the FQDN-to-IPv6-address mapping for the FQDN and
address(es) used by the client, the client MUST include the Client
FQDN option in the SOLICIT with Rapid Commit, REQUEST, RENEW, and
REBIND message originated by the client. A client MAY choose to
include the Client FQDN option in its SOLICIT messages. The "S",
"O", and "N" bits in the Flags field in the option MUST be 0.
Once the client's DHCPv6 configuration is completed (the client
receives a REPLY message and successfully completes a final check on
the parameters passed in the message), the client MAY originate an
update for the AAAA RRs (associated with the client's FQDN) unless
the server has set the "S" bit to 1. If the "S" is 1, the DHCPv6
client SHOULD NOT initiate an update for the name in the server's
returned Client FQDN option Domain Name field. However, a DHCPv6
client that is explicitly configured with a FQDN MAY ignore the state
of the "S" bit if the server's returned name matches the client's
configured name.
5.2. Client Desires Server to Do DNS Updates
A client can choose to delegate the responsibility for updating the
FQDN-to-IPv6-address mapping for the FQDN and address(es) used by the
client to the server. In order to inform the server of this choice,
the client SHOULD include the Client FQDN option in its SOLICIT with
Rapid Commit, REQUEST, RENEW, and REBIND messages and MAY include the
Client FQDN option in its SOLICIT. The "S" bit in the Flags field in
the option MUST be 1, and the "O" and "N" bits MUST be 0.
5.3. Client Desires No Server DNS Updates
A client can choose to request that the server perform no DNS updates
on its behalf. In order to inform the server of this choice, the
client SHOULD include the Client FQDN option in its SOLICIT with
Volz Standards Track PAGE 7
RFC 4704 The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option October 2006
Rapid Commit, REQUEST, RENEW, and REBIND messages and MAY include the
Client FQDN option in its SOLICIT. The "N" bit in the Flags field in
the option MUST be 1, and the "S" and "O" bits MUST be 0.
Once the client's DHCPv6 configuration is completed (the client
receives a REPLY message and successfully completes a final check on
the parameters passed in the message), the client MAY originate its
DNS updates provided the server's "N" bit is 1. If the server's "N"
bit is 0, the server MAY perform the PTR RR updates; it MAY also
perform the AAAA RR updates if the "S" bit is 1.
5.4. Domain Name and DNS Update Issues
As there is a possibility that the DHCPv6 server is configured to
complete or replace a domain name that the client sends, the client
MAY find it useful to send the Client FQDN option in its SOLICIT
messages. If the DHCPv6 server returns different Domain Name data in
its ADVERTISE message, the client could use that data in performing
its own eventual AAAA RR update, or in forming the Client FQDN option
that it sends in its subsequent messages. There is no requirement
that the client send identical Client FQDN option data in its
SOLICIT, REQUEST, RENEW, or REBIND messages. In particular, if a
client has sent the Client FQDN option to its server, and the
configuration of the client changes so that its notion of its domain
name changes, it MAY send the new name data in a Client FQDN option
when it communicates with the server again. This MAY cause the
DHCPv6 server to update the name associated with the PTR records and,
if the server updated the AAAA record representing the client, to
delete that record and attempt an update for the client's current
domain name.
A client that delegates the responsibility for updating the FQDN-to-
IPv6-address mapping to a server will not receive any indication
(either positive or negative) from the server as to whether the
server was able to perform the update. The client MAY use a DNS
query to check whether the mapping is up to date. However, depending
on the load on the DHCPv6 and DNS servers and the DNS propagation
delays, the client can only infer success. If the information is not
found to be up to date in DNS, the authoritative servers might not
have completed the updates or zone transfers, or caching resolvers
may yet have updated their caches.
If a client releases an address prior to the expiration of the valid
lifetime and the client is responsible for updating its AAAA RR, the
client SHOULD delete the AAAA RR associated with the address before
sending a RELEASE message. Similarly, if a client is responsible for
updating its AAAA RRs, but is unable to renew the lifetimes for an
address, the client SHOULD attempt to delete the AAAA RR before the
Volz Standards Track PAGE 8
RFC 4704 The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option October 2006
lifetime on the address is no longer valid. A DHCPv6 client that has
not been able to delete an AAAA RR that it added SHOULD attempt to
notify its administrator, perhaps by emitting a log message.
A client SHOULD NOT perform DNS updates to AAAA RRs for its non-
Global Unicast addresses [7] or temporary addresses [6].
6. DHCPv6 Server Behavior
The following describes the behavior of a DHCPv6 server that
implements the Client FQDN option when the client's message includes
the Client FQDN option.
Servers MUST only include a Client FQDN option in ADVERTISE and REPLY
messages if the client included a Client FQDN option and the Client
FQDN option is requested by the Option Request option in the client's
message to which the server is responding.
The server examines its configuration and the Flag bits in the
client's Client FQDN option to determine how to respond:
o The server sets to 0 the "S", "O", and "N" bits in its copy of the
option it will return to the client.
o If the client's "N" bit is 1 and the server's configuration allows
it to honor the client's request for no server-initiated DNS
updates, the server sets the "N" bit to 1.
o Otherwise, if the client's "S" bit is 1 and the server's
configuration allows it to honor the client's request for the
server to initiate AAAA RR DNS updates, the server sets the "S" to
1. If the server's "S" bit does not match the client's "S" bit,
the server sets the "O" bit to 1.
The server MAY be configured to use the name supplied in the client's
Client FQDN option, or it MAY be configured to modify the supplied
name or to substitute a different name. The server SHOULD send its
notion of the complete FQDN for the client in the Domain Name field.
The server MAY simply copy the Domain Name field from the Client FQDN
option that the client sent to the server.
6.1. When to Perform DNS Updates
The server SHOULD NOT perform any DNS updates if the "N" bit is 1 in
the Flags field of the Client FQDN option in the REPLY messages (to
be) sent to the client. However, the server SHOULD delete any RRs
that it previously added via DNS updates for the client.
Volz Standards Track PAGE 9
RFC 4704 The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option October 2006
The server MAY perform the PTR RR DNS update (unless the "N" bit is
1).
The server MAY perform the AAAA RR DNS update if the "S" bit is 1 in
the Flags field of the Client FQDN option in the REPLY message (to
be) sent to the client.
The server MAY perform these updates even if the client's message did
not carry the Client FQDN option. The server MUST NOT initiate DNS
updates when responding with an ADVERTISE message to the client.
The server MAY complete its DNS updates (PTR RR or PTR and AAAA RR)
before or after sending the REPLY message to the client.
If the server's AAAA RR DNS update does not complete until after the
server has replied to the DHCPv6 client, the server's interaction
with the DNS server MAY cause the DHCPv6 server to change the domain
name that it associates with the client. This can occur, for
example, if the server detects and resolves a domain-name conflict
[8]. In such cases, the domain name that the server returns to the
DHCPv6 client would change between two DHCPv6 exchanges.
If the server previously performed DNS updates for the client and the
client's information has not changed, the server MAY skip performing
additional DNS updates.
When a server receives a RELEASE or DECLINE for an address, detects
that the valid lifetime on an address that the server bound to a
client has expired, or terminates a binding on an address prior to
the binding's expiration time (for instance, by sending a REPLY with
a zero valid lifetime for an address), the server SHOULD delete any
PTR RR that it associated with the address via DNS update. In
addition, if the server took responsibility for AAAA RRs, the server
SHOULD also delete the AAAA RR.
7. DNS RR TTLs
RRs associated with DHCP clients may be more volatile than statically
configured RRs. DHCP clients and servers that perform dynamic
updates should attempt to specify resource record TTLs that reflect
this volatility, in order to minimize the possibility that answers to
DNS queries will return records that refer to DHCP IP address
assignments that have expired or been released.
The coupling among primary, secondary, and caching DNS servers is
'loose'; that is a fundamental part of the design of the DNS. This
looseness makes it impossible to prevent all possible situations in
which a resolver may return a record reflecting a DHCP-assigned IP
Volz Standards Track PAGE 10
RFC 4704 The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option October 2006
address that has expired or been released. In deployment, this
rarely, if ever, represents a significant problem. Most DHCP-managed
clients are infrequently looked up by name in the DNS, and the
deployment of IXFR [13] and NOTIFY [14] can reduce the latency
between updates and their visibility at secondary servers.
We suggest these basic guidelines for implementers. In general, the
TTLs for RRs added as a result of DHCP IP address assignment activity
SHOULD be less than the initial lifetime. The RR TTL on a DNS record
added SHOULD NOT exceed 1/3 of the lifetime, but SHOULD NOT be less
than 10 minutes. We recognize that individual administrators will
have varying requirements: DHCP servers and clients SHOULD allow
administrators to configure TTLs and upper and lower bounds on the
TTL values, either as an absolute time interval or as a percentage of
the lease lifetime.
While clients and servers MAY update the TTL of the records as the
lifetime is about to expire, there is no requirement that they do so
as this puts additional load on the DNS system with likely little
benefit.
8. DNS Update Conflicts
This document does not resolve how a DHCPv6 client or server prevent
name conflicts. This document addresses only how a DHCPv6 client and
server negotiate the fully qualified domain name and who will perform
the DNS updates.
Implementers of this work will need to consider how name conflicts
will be prevented. If a DNS updater needs a security token in order
to successfully perform DNS updates on a specific name, name
conflicts can only occur if multiple updaters are given a security
token for that name. Or, if the fully qualified domains are based on
the specific address bound to a client, conflicts will not occur.
Or, a name conflict resolution technique as described in "Resolving
Name Conflicts" [8]) SHOULD be used.
9. IANA Considerations
The IANA has assigned DHCPv6 option code 39 for the Client FQDN
option.
Volz Standards Track PAGE 11
RFC 4704 The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option October 2006
10. Security Considerations
Unauthenticated updates to the DNS can lead to tremendous confusion,
through malicious attack or through inadvertent misconfiguration.
Administrators need to be wary of permitting unsecured DNS updates to
zones that are exposed to the global Internet. Both DHCPv6 clients
and servers SHOULD use some form of update request origin
authentication procedure (e.g., Secure DNS Dynamic Update [11]) when
performing DNS updates.
Whether a DHCPv6 client is responsible for updating an FQDN-to-IPv6-
address mapping or whether this is the responsibility of the DHCPv6
server is a site-local matter. The choice between the two
alternatives is likely based on the security model that is used with
the DNS update protocol (e.g., only a client may have sufficient
credentials to perform updates to the FQDN-to-IPv6-address mapping
for its FQDN).
Whether a DHCPv6 server is always responsible for updating the FQDN-
to-IPv6-address mapping (in addition to updating the IPv6-to-FQDN
mapping), regardless of the wishes of an individual DHCPv6 client, is
also a site-local matter. The choice between the two alternatives is
likely based on the security model that is being used with DNS
updates. In cases where a DHCPv6 server is performing DNS updates on
behalf of a client, the DHCPv6 server SHOULD be sure of the DNS name
to use for the client, and of the identity of the client.
Depending on the presence of or type of authentication used with the
Authentication option, a DHCPv6 server may not have much confidence
in the identities of its clients. There are many ways for a DHCPv6
server to develop a DNS name to use for a client, but only in certain
circumstances will the DHCPv6 server know for certain the identity of
the client.
It is critical to implement proper conflict resolution, and the
security considerations of conflict resolution apply [8].
