[Federated-fs] FW: New Version Notification for draft-everhart-nfsv4-namespace-via-dns-srv-03

[Everhart, Craig]

I re-submitted this draft, as we discussed in the call last Thursday.

The only technical change was to the SECURITY section.  I re-worded it
to accommodate the new RFC status of the KITTEN group work (RFCs 5178
and 5179), and to include a recommended use of that functionality.
Basically, it gives you a way to authenticate/authorize the result of
the DNS SRV record lookup.  Since NFS (4.1, anyway) recommends GSS-API
RPC integrity for lookups of fs_locations information, those two
mechanisms together let an organization authorize a specific namespace
as the one it intended to publish.  Probably the same root-namespace
authentication value could be added with DNSSEC as with the new RFCs,
but I don't think that the DNSEXT WG is getting to closure with that.

has been successfuly submitted by Craig Everhart and posted to the IETF
repository.

Filename:	 draft-everhart-nfsv4-namespace-via-dns-srv
Revision:	 03
Title:		 Using DNS SRV to Specify a Global File Name Space with
NFS version 4
Creation_date:	 2008-09-05
WG ID:		 Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 11

Abstract:
The NFS version 4 protocol provides a natural way for a collection of
NFS file servers to collaborate in providing an organization-wide file
name space.  The DNS SRV RR allows a simple and appropriate way for an
organization to publish the root of its name space, even to clients that
might not be intimately associated with such an organization.  DNS SRV
can be used to join these organization-wide file name spaces together to
allow construction of a global, uniform NFS version 4 file name space.
