Notes for BIND 9.17.8
---------------------
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- NSEC3 support was added to KASP. A new option for ``dnssec-policy``,
``nsec3param``, can be used to set the desired NSEC3 parameters.
NSEC3 salt collisions are automatically prevented during resalting.
[GL #1620]
- ``dig`` output now includes the transport protocol used (UDP, TCP, or
TLS). [GL #1816]
- ``dig`` can now report the DNS64 prefixes in use (``+dns64prefix``).
This is useful when the host on which ``dig`` is run is behind an
IPv6-only link, using DNS64/NAT64 or 464XLAT for IPv4aaS (IPv4 as a
Service). [GL #1154]
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The new networking code introduced in BIND 9.16 (netmgr) was
overhauled in order to make it more stable, testable, and
maintainable. [GL #2321]
- Earlier releases of BIND versions 9.16 and newer required the
operating system to support load-balanced sockets in order for
``named`` to be able to achieve high performance (by distributing
incoming queries among multiple threads). However, the only operating
systems currently known to support load-balanced sockets are Linux and
FreeBSD 12, which means both UDP and TCP performance were limited to a
single thread on other systems. As of BIND 9.17.8, ``named`` attempts
to distribute incoming queries among multiple threads on systems which
lack support for load-balanced sockets (except Windows). [GL #2137]
- The default value of ``max-recursion-queries`` was increased from 75
to 100. Since the queries sent towards root and TLD servers are now
included in the count (as a result of the fix for CVE-2020-8616),
``max-recursion-queries`` has a higher chance of being exceeded by
non-attack queries, which is the main reason for increasing its
default value. [GL #2305]
- The default value of ``nocookie-udp-size`` was restored back to 4096
bytes. Since ``max-udp-size`` is the upper bound for
``nocookie-udp-size``, this change relieves the operator from having
to change ``nocookie-udp-size`` together with ``max-udp-size`` in
order to increase the default EDNS buffer size limit.
``nocookie-udp-size`` can still be set to a value lower than
``max-udp-size``, if desired. [GL #2250]
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Handling of missing DNS COOKIE responses over UDP was tightened by
falling back to TCP. [GL #2275]
- The CNAME synthesized from a DNAME was incorrectly followed when the
QTYPE was CNAME or ANY. [GL #2280]
- Building with native PKCS#11 support for AEP Keyper has been broken
since BIND 9.17.4. This has been fixed. [GL #2315]
