Expectations for DNS Seed operators
|
||||||
|
====================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Bitcoin Core attempts to minimize the level of trust in DNS seeds,
|
||||||
|
but DNS seeds still pose a small amount of risk for the network.
|
||||||
|
Other implementations of Bitcoin software may also use the same
|
||||||
|
seeds and may be more exposed. In light of this exposure this
|
||||||
|
document establishes some basic expectations for the expectations
|
||||||
|
for the operation of dnsseeds.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
0. A DNS seed operating organization or person is expected
|
||||||
|
to follow good host security practices and maintain control of
|
||||||
|
their serving infrastructure and not sell or transfer control of their
|
||||||
|
DNS seed. Any hosting services contracted by the operator are
|
||||||
|
equally expected to uphold these expectations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. The DNS seed results must consist exclusively of fairly selected and
|
||||||
|
functioning Bitcoin nodes from the public network to the best of the
|
||||||
|
operators understanding and capability.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. For the avoidance of doubt, the results may be randomized but must not
|
||||||
|
single-out any group of hosts to receive different results unless due to an
|
||||||
|
urgent technical necessity and disclosed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. The results may not be served with a DNS TTL of less than one minute.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Any logging of DNS queries should be only that which is necessary
|
||||||
|
for the operation of the service or urgent health of the Bitcoin
|
||||||
|
network and must not be retained longer than necessary or disclosed
|
||||||
|
to any third party.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. Information gathered as a result of the operators node-spidering
|
||||||
|
(not from DNS queries) may be freely published or retained, but only
|
||||||
|
if this data was not made more complete by biasing node connectivity
|
||||||
|
(a violation of expectation (1)).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. Operators are encouraged, but not required, to publicly document the
|
||||||
|
details of their operating practices.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
7. A reachable email contact address must be published for inquiries
|
||||||
|
related to the DNS seed operation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If these expectations cannot be satisfied the operator should
|
||||||
|
discontinue providing services and contact the active Bitcoin
|
||||||
|
Core development team as well as posting on bitcoin-development.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Behavior outside of these expectations may be reasonable in some
|
||||||
|
situations but should be discussed in public in advance.
