Minimizing ANY-Query Responses at Recursive Resolvers
The "ANY" query in DNS is a meta-query intended to match multiple
resource record types associated with a given domain name, and can
elicit responses that are significantly larger than those generated
by single-type queries. While RFC 8482 defines a mechanism for
authoritative servers to minimize ANY responses, a recursive resolver
may still generate an ANY query response directly from its cache,
thereby bypassing the authoritative side's ANY query minimization
strategy. This document provides supplementary guidance for
recursive resolvers on processing ANY queries to mitigate potential
operational and security issues.
