What are IPSECKEY Records?

IPSECKEY records are DNS records that store public keys and gateway information for IPsec connections. They enable automatic discovery of IPsec gateways and their associated public keys, facilitating secure communication between networks without manual configuration.

Key Components:

Precedence: Priority value (0-255) where lower numbers indicate higher priority
Gateway Type: Specifies the format of the gateway field (0=None, 1=IPv4, 2=IPv6, 3=Domain)
Algorithm: Public key algorithm type (1=DSA, 2=RSA)
Gateway: The IPsec gateway address or domain name
Public Key: Base64-encoded public key for the gateway

How IPSECKEY Records Work:

A client queries DNS for IPSECKEY records of the target domain
The DNS server returns available IPSECKEY records with gateway and key information
The client selects the highest priority (lowest precedence) available gateway
IPsec connection is established using the provided public key for authentication
