## ZONE05: SOA 'expire' minimum value
|
|
|
|
### Test case identifier
|
|
**ZONE05** SOA 'expire' minimum value
|
|
|
|
### Objective
|
|
|
|
The SOA expire value specifies for how long any secondary name server
|
|
keeps the zone valid without any contact with the primary name server.
|
|
This value should be greater than how long a major outage would
|
|
typically last. The expire value should also be larger than the
|
|
refresh and retry values, as 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).
|
|
|
|
Setting the expire value low will increase the risk of any unwanted
|
|
non-availability of the zone because of any failures in contacting
|
|
the primary name server.
|
|
|
|
The [RIPE-203](https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-203) recommendation
|
|
for the expire value is 1000 hours (roughly 41 days). Older DNSCheck code
|
|
had a 7 day minimum value (604800 seconds), and this is the minimum
|
|
value we recommend as an absolute minimum.
|
|
|
|
### 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 expire value and the refresh value from the SOA record.
|
|
4. If the expire value is less than 604800 seconds (7 days), this test
|
|
case fails.
|
|
5. If the expire value is lower than the refresh value, this test case
|
|
fails.
|
|
|
|
### Outcome(s)
|
|
|
|
If the expire value is less than 604800 seconds or if the expire value is
|
|
lower than the refresh value, this test case fails.
|
|
|
|
### Special procedural requirements
|
|
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
### Intercase dependencies
|
|
|
|
None.
