[nsd-users] support for ALIAS records

[Rubens Kuhl]

While SVCB/HTTPS provides a better solution for the browsing use case, I see other use cases where ALIAS/ANAME would be ideal, notably in apex RRs.

So while fostering SVCB/HTTPS deployment is a good thing, I wouldn’t mind name server software implementing ALIAS. Including NSD, but I reckon it’s much more challenging to do due to NSD architecture than it was to implement it in PowerDNS.

But if NSD developers some day feel bored, perhaps implementing ALIAS would solve that ? ;-)

There was an idea to standardize ALIAS as "ANAME" (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-aname/), but the idea was dropped in favor of SVCB/HTTPS record https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9460/. So now we have to wait until all Browser vendors implement SVCB/HTTPS.
