By default, when named is started it may start answering to
queries before the response policy zones are completely loaded
and processed. This new feature gives an option to the users to
tell named that incoming requests should result in SERVFAIL anwser
until all the response policy zones are procesed and ready.
Add a new option 'manual-mode' to 'dnssec-policy'. The intended
use is that if it is enabled, it will not automatically move to the
next state transition (RUMOURED, UNRETENTIVE), only after manual
confirmation. The intended state transition should be logged.
When the interface-interval parser was changed from uint32 parser to
duration parser, the default value stayed at plain 60 which now means 60
seconds instead of 60 minutes. Fix the default value and the
documentation to match the reality.
A "template" statement can contain the same configuration clauses
as a "zone" statement. A "zone" statement can now reference a
template, and all the clauses in that template will be used as
default values for the zone. For example:
template primary {
type primary;
file "$name.db";
initial-file "primary.db";
};
zone example.com {
template primary;
file "different-name.db"; // overrides the template
};
Special tokens can now be specified in a zone "file" option
in order to generate the filename parametrically. The first
instead of "$name" in the "file" option is replaced with the
zone origin, the first instance of "$type" is replaced with the
zone type (i.e., primary, secondary, etc), and the first instance
of "$view" is replaced with the view name..
This simplifies the creation of zones using initial-file templates.
For example:
$ rndc addzone <zonename> \
{ type primary; file "$name.db"; initial-file "template.db"
When loading a primary zone for the first time, if the zonefile
does not exist but an "initial-file" option has been set, then a
new file will be copied into place from the path specified by
"initial-file".
This can be used to simplify the process of adding new zones. For
instance, a template zonefile could be used by running:
$ rndc addzone example.com \
'{ type primary; file "example.db"; initial-file "template.db"; };'
The `max-rsa-exponent-size` could limit the exponents of the RSA
public keys during the DNSSEC verification. Instead of providing
a cryptic (not cryptographic) knob, hardcode the max exponent to
be 4096 (the theoretical maximum for DNSSEC).
This new option sets the delay, in seconds, to wait before sending
a set of NOTIFY messages for a zone. Whenever a NOTIFY message is
ready to be sent, sending will be deferred for this duration.
The new 'tcp-primaries-timeout' configuration option works the same way
as the existing 'tcp-initial-timeout' option, but applies only to the
TCP connections made to the primary servers, so that the timeout value
can be set separately for them. The default is 15 seconds.
Also, while accommodating zone.c's code to support the new option, make
a light refactoring with the way UDP timeouts are calculated by using
definitions instead of hardcoded values.
This can be set at the option, view and server levels and causes
named to add an EDNS ZONEVERSION option to requests. Replies are
logged to the 'zoneversion' category.
Expose the average transfer rate (in bytes-per-second) during the
last full 'min-transfer-rate-in <bytes> <minutes>' minutes interval.
If no such interval has passed yet, then the overall average rate is
reported instead.
Extracting the exact address that each wildcard/TCP socket is bound to
locally requires issuing the getsockname() system call, which libuv
exposes via its uv_*_getsockname() functions. This is only required for
detailed logging and comes at a noticeable performance cost, so it
should not happen by default. However, it is useful for debugging
certain problems (e.g. cryptic system test failures), so a convenient
way of enabling that behavior should exist.
Update isc_nmhandle_localaddr() so that it calls uv_*_getsockname() when
the ISC_SOCKET_DETAILS preprocessor macro is set at compile time.
Ensure proper handling of sockets that wrap other sockets.
Set the new ISC_SOCKET_DETAILS macro by default when --enable-developer
is passed to ./configure. This enables detailed logging in the system
tests run in GitLab CI without affecting performance in non-development
BIND 9 builds.
Note that setting the ISC_SOCKET_DETAILS preprocessor macro at compile
time enables all callers of isc_nmhandle_localaddr() to extract the
exact address of a given local socket, which results e.g. in dnstap
captures containing more accurate information.
Mention the new preprocessor macro in the section of the ARM that
discusses why exact socket addresses may not be logged by default.
The 'remote-servers' named.conf reference conflicts with the standard
term from the glossary. Rename the standard term to server-list to
make the docs build.
Having zone statements that are also top blocks is confusing, and if
we want to add more in the future (which I suspect will be for
generalized notifications, multi-signer), we need to duplicate a lot
of code.
Remove top blocks 'parental-agents' and 'primaries' and just have one
top block 'remote-servers' that you can refer to with zone statements.
this commit removes the deprecated "sortlist" option. the option
is now marked as ancient; it is a fatal error to use it in
named.conf.
the sortlist system test has been removed, and other tests that
referenced the option have been modified.
the enabling functions, dns_message_setsortorder() and
dns_rdataset_towiresorted(), have also been removed.
The dnssec-must-be-secure feature was added in the early days of BIND 9
and DNSSEC and it makes sense only as a debugging feature. There are no
reasons to keep this feature in the production code anymore.
Remove the feature to simplify the code.
Changing the default for max-recursion-queries from 100 to 32 was too
strict in some cases, especially lookups in reverse IPv6 trees started
to fail more frequently. From issue #4921 it looks like 50 is a better
default.
Now that we have 'max-query-count' as a global limit of outgoing queries
per client request, we can increase the default for
'max-recursion-queries' again, as the number of recursive queries is
no longer bound by the multiple of 'max-recursion-queries' and
'max-query-restarts'.
Add another option to configure how many outgoing queries per
client request is allowed. The existing 'max-recursion-queries' is
per restart, this one is a global limit.
This change adds a "none" parameter to the query-source[-v6]
options in named.conf, which forbid the usage of IPv4 or IPv6
addresses when doing upstream queries.
the logging of error-report queries is no longer activated by
the view's "send-report-channel" option; that now only configures
the agent-domain value that is to be sent in authoritative
responses. the warning that was logged when "send-agent-domain"
was set to a value that is not a locally configured zone has
been removed.
error-report logging is now activated by the presence of an
authoritative zone with the "log-report-channel" option set to
"yes". this is not permitted in the root zone.
NOTE: a zone with "log-report-channel yes;" should contain a
"*._er" wildcard, but that requirement is not yet enforced.
If send-report-channel is set at the zone level, it will
be stored in the zone object and used instead of the
view-level agent-domain when constructing the EDNS
Report-Channel option.
This commit adds support for the EDNS Report-Channel option,
which is returned in authoritative responses when EDNS is in use.
"send-report-channel" sets the Agent-Domain value that will be
included in EDNS Report-Channel options. This is configurable at
the options/view level; the value is a DNS name. Setting the
Agent-Domain to the root zone (".") disables the option.
When this value has been set, incoming queries matchng the form
_er.<qtype>.<qname>.<extended-error-code>._er.<agent-domain>/TXT
will be logged to the dns-reporting-agent channel at INFO level.
(Note: error reporting queries will only be accepted if sent via
TCP or with a good server cookie. If neither is present, named
returns BADCOOKIE to complete the DNS COOKIE handshake, or TC=1
to switch the client to TCP.)
This commit adds support for timestamps in iso8601 format with timezone
when logging. This is exposed through the iso8601-tzinfo printtime
suboption.
It also makes the new logging format the default for -g output,
hopefully removing the need for custom timestamp parsing in scripts.
When `sig-validity-interval` was obsoleted, the text that the signature
validity interval should be multiples of the SOA expire interval was
removed. Restore this text to the description of the
`signatures-validity` option.
On Linux, the system administrator can use Control Group ``cgroup``
mechanism to limit the amount of available memory to the process. This
limit will be honoured when calculating the percentage-based values.
DNSRPS was the API for a commercial implementation of Response-Policy
Zones that was supposedly better. However, it was never open-sourced
and has only ever been available from a single vendor. This goes against
the principle that the open-source edition of BIND 9 should contain only
features that are generally available and universal.
This commit removes the DNSRPS implementation from BIND 9. It may be
reinstated in the subscription edition if there's enough interest from
customers, but it would have to be rewritten as a plugin (hook) instead
of hard-wiring it again in so many places.
Remove the use of "port" when configuring query-source(-v6),
transfer-source(-v6), notify-source(-v6), parental-source(-v6),
etc. Remove the use of source ports for parental-agents.
Also remove the deprecated options use-{v4,v6}-udp-ports and
avoid-{v4,v6}udp-ports.
Commit abc47f5ce4a50ab2d3b23505914e9c65f856262b added two new statistics
counters without documenting them. Add the missing counter descriptions
to the ARM.
(cherry picked from commit cb7924009152a4b8b1ec82a50bdb112541e9ec74)
The statements that already exist in the grammar can't be created with
the namedconf:statement. Use a plain definition list for these
statements and add a manual anchor for each one so links to them can be
created.
Avoid using the :any: syntax in the definition lists, as that just
creates a link to the duplicate and completely unrelated statement,
which just makes the documentation more confusing.
