The Windows DNS Server must implement a local cache of revocation data for PKI authentication.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Not configuring a local cache of revocation data could allow access to users who are no longer authorized (users with revoked certificates). SIG(0) is used for server-to-server authentication for DNS transactions, and it uses PKI-based authentication. In cases where SIG(0) is being used instead of TSIG (which uses a shared key, not PKI-based authentication), this requirement is applicable.
