Title: Automating DNS Delegation Management via DDNS

Abstract:
Delegation information (i.e. the NS RRset, possible glue, possible DS
records) should always be kept in sync between child zone and parent
zone. However, in practice that is not always the case.
When the delegation information is not in sync the child zone is
usually working fine, but without the amount of redundancy that the
zone owner likely expects to have. Hence, should any further
problems ensue it could have catastropic consequences.
The DNS name space has lived with this problem for decades and it
never goes away. Or, rather, it will never go away until a fully
automated mechanism for how to keep the information in sync
automatically is deployed.
This document proposes such a mechanism.
