## ZONE03: SOA 'retry' lower than 'refresh'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Test case identifier
|
||
|
|
**ZONE03** SOA 'retry' lower than 'refresh'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Objective
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The SOA retry value is the number of seconds that describes
|
||
|
|
minimum time elapsed since a failed zone refresh from the primary
|
||
|
|
name server. The SOA refresh value is described
|
||
|
|
in section 3.3.13 in [RFC 1035](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1035),
|
||
|
|
and clarified in section 2.2 of
|
||
|
|
[RFC 1912](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1912).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> It's typically some fraction of the refresh interval.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Setting the retry value low will increase the DNS traffic between
|
||
|
|
the servers, and also increase the load on the master name server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Inputs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The domain name to be tested.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Ordered description of steps to be taken to execute the test case
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Retrieve the SOA record from a delegated name server for the domain.
|
||
|
|
2. If the answer from step 1 is not authoritative, iterate step 1 until there is an authoritative answer.
|
||
|
|
3. Retrieve the retry value from the SOA record.
|
||
|
|
4. If the retry value is higher than or equal to the refresh value,
|
||
|
|
this test case fails.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Outcome(s)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the SOA retry value is higher than or equal to the refresh value,
|
||
|
|
this test case fails.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Special procedural requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
None.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

### Intercase dependencies
