2.1 Services Not Provided

It is part of the design philosophy of the DNS that the data in it is public and that the DNS gives the same answers to all inquirers.

Following this philosophy, no attempt has been made to include any sort of access control lists or other means to differentiate inquirers.

In addition, no effort has been made to provide for any confidentiality for queries or responses. (This service may be available via IPSEC [RFC 1825].)
