1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes a set of extensions which instrument DNS
resolver functions. This memo was produced by the DNS working group.
With the adoption of the Internet-standard Network Management
Framework [4,5,6,7], and with a large number of vendor
implementations of these standards in commercially available
products, it became possible to provide a higher level of effective
network management in TCP/IP-based internets than was previously
available. With the growth in the use of these standards, it has
become possible to consider the management of other elements of the
infrastructure beyond the basic TCP/IP protocols. A key element of
Austein & Saperia [Page 1]
RFC 1612 DNS Resolver MIB May 1994
the TCP/IP infrastructure is the DNS.
Up to this point there has been no mechanism to integrate the
management of the DNS with SNMP-based managers. This memo provides
the mechanisms by which IP-based management stations can effectively
manage DNS resolver software in an integrated fashion.
We have defined DNS MIB objects to be used in conjunction with the
Internet MIB to allow access to and control of DNS resolver software
via SNMP by the Internet community.
2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components. They are:
o RFC 1442 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
o STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed
objects for the Internet suite of protocols.
o RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other
architectural aspects of the framework.
o RFC 1448 which defines the protocol used for network access to
managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
2.1. Object Definitions
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object object type is named
by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The
object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely
identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human
convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to
refer to the object type.
3. Overview
In theory, the DNS world is pretty simple. There are two kinds of
entities: resolvers and name servers. Resolvers ask questions. Name
servers answer them. The real world, however, is not so simple.
Austein & Saperia [Page 2]
RFC 1612 DNS Resolver MIB May 1994
Implementors have made widely differing choices about how to divide
DNS functions between resolvers and servers. They have also
constructed various sorts of exotic hybrids. The most difficult task
in defining this MIB was to accommodate this wide range of entities
without having to come up with a separate MIB for each.
We divided up the various DNS functions into two, non-overlapping
classes, called "resolver functions" and "name server functions." A
DNS entity that performs what we define as resolver functions
contains a resolver, and therefore must implement the MIB groups
required of all resolvers which are defined in this module. Some
resolvers also implement "optional" functions such as a cache, in
which case they must also implement the cache group contained in this
MIB. A DNS entity which implements name server functions is
considered to be a name server, and must implement the MIB groups
required for name servers which are defined in a separate module. If
the same piece of software performs both resolver and server
functions, we imagine that it contains both a resolver and a server
and would thus implement both the DNS Server and DNS Resolver MIBs.
3.1. Resolvers
In our model, a resolver is a program (or piece thereof) which
obtains resource records from servers. Normally it does so at the
behest of an application, but may also do so as part of its own
operation. A resolver sends DNS protocol queries and receives DNS
protocol replies. A resolver neither receives queries nor sends
replies. A full service resolver is one that knows how to resolve
queries: it obtains the needed resource records by contacting a
server authoritative for the records desired. A stub resolver does
not know how to resolve queries: it sends all queries to a local name
server, setting the "recursion desired" flag to indicate that it
hopes that the name server will be willing to resolve the query. A
resolver may (optionally) have a cache for remembering previously
acquired resource records. It may also have a negative cache for
remembering names or data that have been determined not to exist.
3.2. Name Servers
A name server is a program (or piece thereof) that provides resource
records to resolvers. All references in this document to "a name
server" imply "the name server's role"; in some cases the name
server's role and the resolver's role might be combined into a single
program. A name server receives DNS protocol queries and sends DNS
protocol replies. A name server neither sends queries nor receives
replies. As a consequence, name servers do not have caches.
Normally, a name server would expect to receive only those queries to
which it could respond with authoritative information. However, if a
Austein & Saperia [Page 3]
RFC 1612 DNS Resolver MIB May 1994
name server receives a query that it cannot respond to with purely
authoritative information, it may choose to try to obtain the
necessary additional information from a resolver which may or may not
be a separate process.
3.3. Selected Objects
Many of the objects included in this memo have been created from
information contained in the DNS specifications [1,2], as amended and
clarified by subsequent host requirements documents [3]. Other
objects have been created based on experience with existing DNS
management tools, expected operational needs, the statistics
generated by existing DNS implementations, and the configuration
files used by existing DNS implementations. These objects have been
ordered into groups as follows:
o Resolver Configuration Group
o Resolver Counter Group
o Resolver Lame Delegation Group
o Resolver Cache Group
o Resolver Negative Cache Group
o Resolver Optional Counter Group
This information has been converted into a standard form using the
SNMPv2 SMI defined in [9]. For the most part, the descriptions are
influenced by the DNS related RFCs noted above. For example, the
descriptions for counters used for the various types of queries of
DNS records are influenced by the definitions used for the various
record types found in [2].
3.4. Textual Conventions
Several conceptual data types have been introduced as a textual
conventions in the DNS Server MIB document and have been imported
into this MIB module. These additions will facilitate the common
understanding of information used by the DNS. No changes to the SMI
or the SNMP are necessary to support these conventions.
Readers familiar with MIBs designed to manage entities in the lower
layers of the Internet protocol suite may be surprised at the number
of non-enumerated integers used in this MIB to represent values such
as DNS RR class and type numbers. The reason for this choice is
simple: the DNS itself is designed as an extensible protocol,
Austein & Saperia [Page 4]
RFC 1612 DNS Resolver MIB May 1994
allowing new classes and types of resource records to be added to the
protocol without recoding the core DNS software. Using non-
enumerated integers to represent these data types in this MIB allows
the MIB to accommodate these changes as well.

Setting this variable to clear(3) deletes the entire
