Consistency for CDS/CDNSKEY and CSYNC is Mandatory
114
Mark: CDS records are no different than any others
One NS might be down, which would stop the
Peter: This is telling the parent how to act when faced with inconsistent information
Viktor: There might be hidden masters
Don't want to get stuck
Peter: Wording could be changed to allow servers down
Ben: There is a missing time constant
When do I recheck if I get an inconsistent set?
Peter: 7344 doesn't put any time limit
Ben: Should suggest some time to retry when there is an inconstancy
115
Wes: Supports this
Likes mandating checking everywhere
Ralf: Supports this
Can't ask "all" servers in anycast
What if you don't get a response
Peter: Ask each provider
Is willing to add in wording about non responses
Paul Wouters: This wasn't in CSYNC, our bug
Viktor: Concern was hidden masters and nameservers that are gone and are never going to come back

Viktor: Corner case: if someone is moving to a hoster that doesn't do DNSSEC
Peter: Could add a way to turn off DNSSEC on transfer
Johan Stenstram: Breaks the logic that "if it is signed, it is good"
Doesn't like "if this is really important"
Let's not go there
Authoritative servers are proxies for the registrant
Out of sync is reflection on the registrant: business issues
Wes: CSYNC was for keeping DNS up and running
CSYNC can't fix the business problems
Peter: Agrees that one signature should be OK
Other parts of the spec also suggest asking multiple places
