[cifs-protocol] [REG:110122270441425] MS-DNSP; RANK in 2.2.2.2.5 DNS_RPC_RECORD dwFlags & 2.3.1.2 dnsRecord; how the rank affects processing

[Bryan Burgin]

The feedback I'm getting from the PG is " The ranks do affect processing of the DNS protocol, but these effects are implementation specific. The MS-DNSP protocol is not affected."

Tridge,

I created SR 110122270441425 to track the RANK question.  What is your priority on this issue?  Is this presently blocking you?

I'll resolve the dwFlags/dwResreved issue (110122152819123) and research this new Rank question in a new case.

Hi Bryan,

The new format makes sense, thanks!

the description of the rank values is in [MS-DNSP], but there is nothing there that I can see on how the rank affects processing. Does the DNS server change how it handles a record based on the rank?

Cheers, Tridge
