Adding 100.64.0.0/10 Prefixes to the
IPv4 Locally-Served DNS Zones Registry
Abstract
RFC 6598 specifies that "Reverse DNS queries for Shared Address Space
addresses [100.64.0.0/10] MUST NOT be forwarded to the global DNS
infrastructure."
This document formally directs IANA to add the associated zones to
the "IPv4 Locally-Served DNS Zones Registry" to prevent such queries
from accidentally leaking to the global DNS infrastructure.

1. Introduction
[RFC6598] specifies that "Reverse DNS queries for Shared Address
Space addresses [100.64.0.0/10] MUST NOT be forwarded to the global
DNS infrastructure." [RFC6303] provides guidance on handling such
queries.
This document directs the IANA to add the IPv4 reverse zones
corresponding to 100.64.0.0/10, a netblock reserved in [RFC6598], to
the "IPv4 Locally-Served DNS Zone Registry" established in [RFC6303].
Unlike the addresses described in [RFC1918], which are not expected
to be seen by other parties, the addresses defined by [RFC6598] are
expected to be seen by parties other than those deploying the
addresses. Therefore, it is more crucial that recursive nameservers
default to serving these zones locally.
2. Changes to the IPv4 Locally-Served DNS Zones Registry
IANA has added the zones listed in "RFC 6598 Zones" (Section 2.1) to
the "IPv4 Locally-Served DNS Zone Registry".

3. IANA Considerations
Per this document, IANA has added the zones listed in "RFC 6598
Zones" (Section 2.1) to the "IPv4 Locally-Served DNS Zone Registry".
IANA is reminded that an insecure delegation for these zones is
required for compliance with [RFC6303] to break the DNSSEC chain of
trust.
4. Security Considerations
This document does not present additional security risks to the
Internet than those described in [RFC6303] and [RFC6598].
