4421. [func] When built with LMDB (Lightning Memory-mapped
Database), named will now use a database to store
the configuration for zones added by "rndc addzone"
instead of using a flat NZF file. This improves
performance of "rndc delzone" and "rndc modzone"
significantly. Existing NZF files will
automatically by converted to NZD databases.
To view the contents of an NZD or to roll back to
NZF format, use "named-nzd2nzf". To disable
this feature, use "configure --without-lmdb".

3741. [func] "delve" (domain entity lookup and validation engine):
A new tool with dig-like semantics for performing DNS
lookups, with internal DNSSEC validation, using the
same resolver and validator logic as named. This
allows easy validation of DNSSEC data in environments
with untrustworthy resolvers, and assists with
troubleshooting of DNSSEC problems. (Note: not yet
available on win32.) [RT #32406]
determine which DS records should be published
in the parent zone, or which DLV records should be
published in a DLV zone, and queries the DNS to
ensure that it exists. (Note: This tool depends
on python; it will not be built or installed on
systems that do not have a python interpreter.)
[RT #28099]
- 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
