- removed documentation of -S option from named man page
- removed documentation of reserved-sockets from ARM
- simplified documentation of dnssec-secure-to-insecure - it
now just says it's obsolete rather than describing what it
doesn't do anymore
- marked three formerly obsolete options as ancient:
parent-registration-delay, reserved-sockets, and
suppress-initial-notify
the built-in trust anchors in named and delv are sufficent for
validation. named still needs to be able to load trust anchors from
a bind.keys file for testing purposes, but it doesn't need to be
the default behavior.
we now only load trust anchors from a file if explicitly specified
via the "bindkeys-file" option in named or the "-a" command line
argument to delv. documentation has been cleaned up to remove references
to /etc/bind.keys.
Closes#3850.
A 'tls' statement can be specified both for individual addresses
and for the whole list (as a default value when an individual
address doesn't have its own 'tls' set), just as it was done
before for the 'port' value.
Create a new function 'print_rawqstring()' to print a string residing
in a 'isc_textregion_t' type parameter.
Create a new function 'copy_string()' to copy a string from a
'cfg_obj_t' object into a 'isc_textregion_t'.
Deprecate the use of "port" when configuring query-source(-v6),
transfer-source(-v6), notify-source(-v6), parental-source(-v6),
etc. Also deprecate use-{v4,v6}-udp-ports and avoid-{v4,v6}udp-ports.
DSCP has not been fully working since the network manager was
introduced in 9.16, and has been completely broken since 9.18.
This seems to have caused very few difficulties for anyone,
so we have now marked it as obsolete and removed the
implementation.
To ensure that old config files don't fail, the code to parse
dscp key-value pairs is still present, but a warning is logged
that the feature is obsolete and should not be used. Nothing is
done with configured values, and there is no longer any
range checking.
Add a new way to configure the preferred source address when talking to
remote servers such as primaries and parental-agents. This will
eventually deprecate options such as 'parental-source',
'parental-source-v6', 'transfer-source', etc.
Example of the new configuration:
parental-agents "parents" port 5353 \
source 10.10.10.10 port 5354 dscp 54 \
source-v6 2001:db8::10 port 5355 dscp 55 {
10.10.10.11;
2001:db8::11;
};
After deprecating the operating system limits settings (coresize,
datasize, files and stacksize), mark them as ancient and remove the code
that sets the values from config.
It was possible to set operating system limits (RLIMIT_DATA,
RLIMIT_STACK, RLIMIT_CORE and RLIMIT_NOFILE) from named.conf. It's
better to leave these untouched as setting these is responsibility of
the operating system and/or supervisor.
Deprecate the configuration options and remove them in future BIND 9
release.
Implement the configuration option with its checking and parsing parts.
The option should be later used by BIND to set an extended error
code (EDE) for the queries modified in the result of RPZ processing.
The "max-zone-ttl" option should now be configured as part of
"dnssec-policy". The option with the same name in "zone" and
"options" is hereby flagged as deprecated, and its functionality
will be removed in a future release.
It would be too easy if we could just call sorted(). Thanks to zone
grammar the most important key "type" gets sorted near end, so we pull
it up to the top using a hack.
It turns out the tree of dictionaries is not the best structure to
represent our grammar, unfortunatelly. The problem is that "zone" has
several context-dependent variants which change meaning of "zone" based
on inner field "type".
Redesigning the whole structure does not seem to be worth, so I settled
on this terrible hack.
The utility detects statements which use the same name (e.g.
max-zone-ttl) but use different grammar in different contexts. These
typically need special case in docs.
It transforms named.conf/rndc.conf grammar from text format into Python
dictionary. This allows granular access to grammar elements.
Beware: It heavity depens on cfg_test output format!
The next commit is going to add parser for ISC configuration format.
To simplify the parser the grammar files in doc/misc are no longer
line-wrapped as handling it would make the grammar parser unnecessairly
complicated.
This affects visible output in the ARM, but in the end we are going to
replace the auto-generated .rst files with grammar pretty printed, so
formatting of these files does not matter in practical terms.
The "glue-cache" option was marked as deprecated by commit
5ae33351f2 (first released in BIND 9.17.6,
back in October 2020), so now obsolete that option, removing all code
and documentation related to it.
Note: this causes the glue cache feature to be permanently enabled, not
disabled.
After some back and forth, it was decidede to match the configuration
option with unbound ("so-reuseport"), PowerDNS ("reuseport") and/or
nginx ("reuseport").
Previously, the option to enable kernel load balancing of the sockets
was always enabled when supported by the operating system (SO_REUSEPORT
on Linux and SO_REUSEPORT_LB on FreeBSD).
It was reported that in scenarios where the networking threads are also
responsible for processing long-running tasks (like RPZ processing, CATZ
processing or large zone transfers), this could lead to intermitten
brownouts for some clients, because the thread assigned by the operating
system might be busy. In such scenarious, the overall performance would
be better served by threads competing over the sockets because the idle
threads can pick up the incoming traffic.
Add new configuration option (`load-balance-sockets`) to allow enabling
or disabling the load balancing of the sockets.
Commit 4ca74eee49 update the zone grammar
such that the zone statement is printed with the valid options per
zone type.
This commit is a follow-up, putting back the ZONE heading and adding
a note that these zone statements may also be put inside the view
statement.
It is tricky to actually print the zone statements inside
the view statement, and so we decided that we would add a note to say
that this is possible.
Building BIND 9 with older version of BIND 9 installed would result in
build failure. Fix the last two remaining cases where <prog>_CFLAGS was
being used leading to wrong order of the build flags on the command line.
the "zone" clause can be documented using, for instance,
`cfg_test --zonegrammar primary", which prints only
options that are valid in primary zones. this was not
the method being used when generating the named.conf
man page; instead, "zone" was documented with all possible
options, and no zone types at all.
this commit removes "zone" from the generic documentation
and adds include statements in named.conf.rst so that
correct zone grammars will be included in the man page.
"masters" and "default-masters" are now flagged so they will
not be included in the named.conf man page, despite being
accepted as valid options by the parser for backward
compatibiility.
The keep-response-order option has been introduced when TCP pipelining
has been introduced to BIND 9 as a failsafe for possibly non-compliant
clients.
Declare the keep-response-order obsolete as all DNS clients should
either support out-of-order processing or don't send more DNS queries
until the DNS response for the previous one has been received.
