Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) M. Andrews Request for Comments: 7793 ISC BCP: 163 May 2016 Category: Best Current Practice ISSN: 2070-1721
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.

RFC 7793 IPv4 Locally-Served DNS Zones Additions May 2016
[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".
