maintenance. The new "managed-keys" statement can
be used in place of "trusted-keys" for zones which
support this protocol. (Note: this syntax is
expected to change prior to 9.7.0 final.) [RT #19248]
- add ddns-confgen command to generate
configuration text for named.conf
- add zone option "ddns-autoconf yes;", which
causes named to generate a TSIG session key
and allow updates to the zone using that key
- add '-l' (localhost) option to nsupdate, which
causes nsupdate to connect to a locally-running
named process using the session key generated
by named

"dnssec-lookaside auto;" This is the equivalent
of "dnssec-lookaside . trust-anchor dlv.isc.org;"
plus setting a trusted-key for dlv.isc.org.
Note: The trusted key is hard-coded into named,
but is also stored in (and can be overridden
by) $sysconfdir/bind.keys. As the ISC DLV key
rolls over it can be kept up to date by replacing
the bind.keys file with a key downloaded from
https://www.isc.org/solutions/dlv. [RT #18685]
are now /var/run/named/named.pid and
/var/run/lwresd/lwresd.pid respectively.
This allows the owner of the containing directory
to be set, for "named -u" support, and allows there
to be a permanent symbolic link in the path, for
"named -t" support. [RT #18306]
'dig +nsid' requests NSID from server.
'request-nsid yes;' causes recursive server to send
NSID requests to upstream servers. Server responds
to NSID requests with the string configured by
'server-id' option. [RT #17091]

as it requires memory usage to be configured.
It may be enabled by default in BIND 9.5 once we
have more experience with it.
to the builtin acls "localnets" and "localhost".
This is being done to make caching servers less
attractive as reflective amplifying targets for
spoofed traffic. This still leave authoritative
servers exposed.
The best fix is for full BCP 38 deployment to
remove spoofed traffic.
512 byte receive buffer if the initial EDNS queries
fail. [RT #14852]
1952. [func] The maximum EDNS UDP response named will send can
now be set in named.conf (max-udp-size). This is
independent of the advertised receive buffer
(edns-udp-size). [RT #14852]
named-checkzone has extended checking of NS, MX and
SRV record and the hosts they reference.
named has extended post zone load checks.
New zone options: check-mx and integrity-check.

an internal cache framework for additional section
content to improve response performance. Several
configuration options were provided to control the
behavior.
