Title: EDNS / DNSSEC all root servers on May 5th
Post by: VolzNet on April 30, 2010, 11:55:36 AM
Per a slashdot article:
http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/04/30/1258234/DNSSEC-May-Cause-Problems-On-May-5?art_pos=7 (http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/04/30/1258234/DNSSEC-May-Cause-Problems-On-May-5?art_pos=7)

I ran a test on the forwarding dns server used for IPv6 certification and received this result:
# dig +short -6 rs.dns-oarc.net txt @2001:470:20::2
rst.x479.rs.dns-oarc.net.
rst.x488.x479.rs.dns-oarc.net.
rst.x493.x488.x479.rs.dns-oarc.net.
"Tested at 2010-04-30 18:46:48 UTC"
"2001:470:0:6e::2 DNS reply size limit is at least 493"
"2001:470:0:6e::2 lacks EDNS, defaults to 512"

Is there a change scheduled to correct this so that service can continue after May 5th, or does this not apply to this server?

This will not affect the software we are using for recursors.
