Hello everyone,

when re-reading this document I've realized one limitation which is not explicitly mentioned:

---
3.2. Responders

... A name server MAY also include more than one ZONEVERSION option in the response if it is authoritative for more than one zone of the corresponding QNAME. A name server MUST NOT include more than one ZONEVERSION option for a given TYPE and LABELCOUNT.
---

The current option cannot be used to represent version info for answer like this:

QNAME:
qname.zone1.test. A

Answer:
qname.zone1.test.  CNAME target.zone2.test.
target.zone2.test. A     192.0.2.1

When the responder is authoritative for both zones - zone1.test. and zone2.test. - then there's no way to represent ZONEVERSION for zone2.test.


If this was discussed before I've missed it - sorry!

Is this worth solving or at least documenting?

P.S. I'm away for ~ one week, so I apologize for late responses.
