- options that were flagged as obsolete or not implemented in 9.0.0
are now flagged as "ancient", and are a fatal error
- the ARM has been updated to remove these, along with other
obsolete descriptions of BIND 8 behavior
- the log message for obsolete options explicitly recommends removal
Add a new libisccfg function, cfg_pluginlist_foreach(), which allows an
arbitrary callback to be invoked for every "plugin" stanza present in a
configuration object. Use this function for both loading plugins and
checking their configuration in order to reduce duplication of
configuration processing code present in bin/named/server.c and
lib/bind9/check.c.
- make some cfg-parsing functions global so they can be run
from filter-aaaa.so
- add filter-aaaa options to the hook module's parser
- mark filter-aaaa options in named.conf as obsolete, remove
from named and checkconf, and update the filter-aaaa test not to
use checkconf anymore
- remove filter-aaaa-related struct members from dns_view
- allow multiple "hook" statements at global or view level
- add "optional bracketed text" type for optional parameter list
- load hook module from specified path rather than hardcoded path
- add a hooktable pointer (and a callback for freeing it) to the
view structure
- change the hooktable functions so they no longer update ns__hook_table
by default, and modify PROCESS_HOOK so it uses the view hooktable, if
set, rather than ns__hook_table. (ns__hook_table is retained for
use by unit tests.)
- update the filter-aaaa system test to load filter-aaaa.so
- add a prereq script to check for dlopen support before running
the filter-aaaa system test
not yet done:
- configuration parameters are not being passed to the filter-aaaa
module; the filter-aaaa ACL and filter-aaaa-on-{v4,v6} settings are
still stored in dns_view
Add a new zone type, CFG_ZONE_MIRROR, to libisccfg, in order to limit
the list of options which are considered valid for mirror zones. Update
the relevant configuration checks.
- mark the 'geoip-use-ecs' option obsolete; warn when it is used
in named.conf
- prohibit 'ecs' ACL tags in named.conf; note that this is a fatal error
since simply ignoring the tags could make ACLs behave unpredictably
- re-simplify the radix and iptable code
- clean up dns_acl_match(), dns_aclelement_match(), dns_acl_allowed()
and dns_geoip_match() so they no longer take ecs options
- remove the ECS-specific unit and system test cases
- remove references to ECS from the ARM
4873. [doc] Grammars for named.conf included in the ARM are now
automatically generated by the configuration parser
itself. As a side effect of the work needed to
separate zone type grammars from each other, this
also makes checking of zone statements in
named-checkconf more correct and consistent.

4503. [cleanup] "make uninstall" now removes file installed by
BIND. (This currently excludes Python files
due to lack of support in setup.py.) [RT #42912]
4224. [func] Added support for "dyndb", a new interface for loading
zone data from an external database, developed by
Red Hat for the FreeIPA project.
DynDB drivers fully implement the BIND database
API, and are capable of significantly better
performance and functionality than DLZ drivers,
while taking advantage of advanced database
features not available in BIND such as multi-master
replication.
Thanks to Adam Tkac and Petr Spacek of Red Hat.
[RT #35271]
3938. [func] Added quotas to be used in recursive resolvers
that are under high query load for names in zones
whose authoritative servers are nonresponsive or
are experiencing a denial of service attack.
- "fetches-per-server" limits the number of
simultaneous queries that can be sent to any
single authoritative server. The configured
value is a starting point; it is automatically
adjusted downward if the server is partially or
completely non-responsive. The algorithm used to
adjust the quota can be configured via the
"fetch-quota-params" option.
- "fetches-per-zone" limits the number of
simultaneous queries that can be sent for names
within a single domain. (Note: Unlike
"fetches-per-server", this value is not
self-tuning.)
- New stats counters have been added to count
queries spilled due to these quotas.
See the ARM for details of these options. [RT #37125]
4124. [func] Log errors or warnings encountered when parsing the
internal default configuration. Clarify the logging
of errors and warnings encountered in rndc
addzone or modzone parameters. [RT #39440]
4030. [func] "rndc delzone" is now applicable to zones that were
configured in named.conf, as well as zones that
were added via "rndc addzone". (Note, however, that
if named.conf is not also modified, the deleted zone
will return when named is reloaded.) [RT #37887]
4029. [func] "rndc showzone" displays the current configuration
of a specified zone. [RT #37887]
3936. [func] Added authoritative support for the EDNS Client
Subnet (ECS) option.
ACLs can now include "ecs" elements which specify
an address or network prefix; if an ECS option is
included in a DNS query, then the address encoded
in the option will be matched against "ecs" ACL
elements.
Also, if an ECS address is included in a query,
then it will be used instead of the client source
address when matching "geoip" ACL elements. This
behavior can be overridden with "geoip-use-ecs no;".
When "ecs" or "geoip" ACL elements are used to
select a view for a query, the response will include
an ECS option to indicate which client network the
answer is valid for.
(Thanks to Vincent Bernat.) [RT #36781]
3535. [func] Add support for setting Differentiated Services Code
Point (DSCP) values in named. Most configuration
options which take a "port" option (e.g.,
listen-on, forwarders, also-notify, masters,
notify-source, etc) can now also take a "dscp"
option specifying a code point for use with
outgoing traffic, if supported by the underlying
OS. [RT #27596]
3504. [func] Add support for ACLs based on geographic location,
using MaxMind GeoIP databases. Based on code
contributed by Ken Brownfield <kb@slide.com>.
