CONSISTENCY05: Consistency between glue and authoritative data

Test case identifier

CONSISTENCY05: Consistency between glue and authoritative data

Objective

For name servers that have IP addresses listed as glue, the IP addresses must match the authoritative A and AAAA records for that host. This is an IANA requirement (https://www.iana.org/help/nameserver-requirements).

The objective of this test is to verify that the glue records are consistent between glue and authoritative date.

Inputs

  1. The domain name to be tested

Ordered description of steps to be taken to execute the test case

  1. Obtain the list of address records from Method4 and Method5.
  2. If the set of address records are not consistent between the glue address records and the name server address records from the child, this test case fails.

Outcome(s)

If there is no consistency between the glue and the name server address records from the child, this test case fails.

Special procedural requirements

If either IPv4 or IPv6 transport is disabled, ignore the evaluation of the result of any test using this transport protocol. Log a message reporting on the ignored result.

Intercase dependencies

None
