Hi Sebastian,

Does pdns currently implement RFC6303 ("Locally Served DNS Zones")?

Ah, thats even BCP163 now it seems.
There is a subset of the RFC6303 zones that gets served by PowerDNS
Recursor by default, which is configured via the serve-rfc1918 option [1].
So (4.1) checked.
Also there is code in the recursor that automatically serves localhost. <->
127.0.0.1 [2] which kind of makes me miss the IN AAAA ::1 RR there.
For the ones in RFC6303 that are missing one could load up a generic empty
zone via the auth-zones feature in the recursor. I have never seen too many
queries for those but of course your mileage may vary especially with the
emergence of IPv6 and it certainly is good style to keep load off the RIR
and IANA/ICANN Authoritatives.

best regards,

 Stefan
