This commit adds a new configuration option to set the receive and send
buffer sizes on the TCP and UDP netmgr sockets. The default is `0`
which doesn't set any value and just uses the value set by the operating
system.
There's no magic value here - set it too small and the performance will
drop, set it too large, the buffers can fill-up with queries that have
already timeouted on the client side and nobody is interested for the
answer and this would just make the server clog up even more by making
it produce useless work.
The `netstat -su` can be used on POSIX systems to monitor the receive
and send buffer errors.
Add a new option 'purge-keys' to 'dnssec-policy' that will purge key
files for deleted keys. The option determines how long key files
should be retained prior to removing the corresponding files from
disk.
If set to 0, the option is disabled and 'named' will not remove key
files from disk.
This commit adds stub parser support and tests for:
- an "http" global option for HTTP/2 endpoint configuration.
- command line options to set http or https port numbers by
specifying -p http=PORT or -p https=PORT. (NOTE: this change
only affects syntax; specifying HTTP and HTTPS ports on the
command line currently has no effect.)
- named.conf options "http-port" and "https-port"
- HTTPSPORT environment variable for use when running tests.
Add support for a "tls" key/value pair for zone primaries, referencing
either a "tls" configuration statement or "ephemeral". If set to use
TLS, zones will send SOA and AXFR/IXFR queries over a TLS channel.
The 'filter-aaaa', 'filter-aaaa-on-v4', and 'filter-aaaa-on-v6' options
are replaced by the filter-aaaa plugin. This plugin was introduced in
9.13.5 and so it is safe to remove the named.conf options.
Upon request from Mark, change the configuration of salt to salt
length.
Introduce a new function 'dns_zone_checknsec3aram' that can be used
upon reconfiguration to check if the existing NSEC3 parameters are
in sync with the configuration. If a salt is used that matches the
configured salt length, don't change the NSEC3 parameters.
Parse the configuration of tls objects into SSL_CTX* objects. Listen on
DoT if 'tls' option is setup in listen-on directive. Use DoT/DoH ports
for DoT/DoH.
This commit adds stub parser support and tests for:
- "tls" statement, specifying key and cert.
- an optional "tls" keyvalue in listen-on statements for DoT
configuration.
Documentation for these options has also been added to the ARM, but
needs further work.
No issues with the glue cache feature have been reported since its
introduction in BIND 9.12. As the rationale for introducing the
"glue-cache" option was to have a safety switch readily available in
case the glue cache turns out to cause problems, it is time to deprecate
the option. Glue cache will be permanently enabled in a future release,
at which point the "glue-cache" option will be made obsolete.
The current serve-stale implementation in BIND 9 stores all received
records in the cache for a max-stale-ttl interval (default 12 hours).
This allows DNS operators to turn the serve-stale answers in an event of
large authoritative DNS outage. The caching of the stale answers needs
to be enabled before the outage happens or the feature would be
otherwise useless.
The negative consequence of the default setting is the inevitable
cache-bloat that happens for every and each DNS operator running named.
In this MR, a new configuration option `stale-cache-enable` is
introduced that allows the operators to selectively enable or disable
the serve-stale feature of BIND 9 based on their decision.
The newly introduced option has been disabled by default,
e.g. serve-stale is disabled in the default configuration and has to be
enabled if required.
it is now an error to have two primaries lists with the same
name. this is true regardless of whether the "primaries" or
"masters" keywords were used to define them.
as "type primary" is preferred over "type master" now, it makes
sense to make "primaries" available as a synonym too.
added a correctness check to ensure "primaries" and "masters"
cannot both be used in the same zone.
The files in doc/misc requires all the BIND 9 libraries to be built
before the documentation can be built. One of the extra automake
features is maintainer mode that allows to conditionally build and clean
files that require special tools. Make use of the automake maintainer
mode to not rebuild the files in doc/misc under normal circumstances.
The doc/misc/options is used to generate a file describing all
configuration options. Currently, the file contents could differ
based on ./configure option which is kind of suboptimal.
We already removed the "// not configured" from the options.active, and
this time we remove generation of the string altogether.
Make various adjustments necessary to enable "make dist" to build a BIND
source tarball whose contents are complete enough to build binaries, run
unit & system tests, and generate documentation on Unix systems.
Known outstanding issues:
- "make distcheck" does not work yet.
- Tests do not work for out-of-tree source-tarball-based builds.
- Source tarballs are not complete enough for building on Windows.
All of the above will be addressed in due course.
The ARM and the manpages have been converted into Sphinx documentation
format.
Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its
strengths come from the power and straightforwardness of
reStructuredText and its parsing and translating suite, the Docutils.
Change 5332 renamed "dnssec-keys" configuration statement to the
more descriptive "trust-anchors". Not all occurrences in the
documentation had been updated.
The keyword 'unlimited' can be used instead of PT0S which means the
same but is more comprehensible for users.
Also fix some redundant "none" parameters in the kasp test.
When doing rollover in a timely manner we need to have access to the
relevant kasp configured durations.
Most of these are simple get functions, but 'dns_kasp_signdelay'
will calculate the maximum time that is needed with this policy to
resign the complete zone (taking into account the refresh interval
and signature validity).
Introduce parent-propagation-delay, parent-registration-delay,
parent-ds-ttl, zone-max-ttl, zone-propagation-delay.
This commit introduces the initial `dnssec-policy` configuration
statement. It has an initial set of options to deal with signature
and key maintenance.
Add some checks to ensure that dnssec-policy is configured at the
right locations, and that policies referenced to in zone statements
actually exist.
Add some checks that when a user adds the new `dnssec-policy`
configuration, it will no longer contain existing DNSSEC
configuration options. Specifically: `inline-signing`,
`auto-dnssec`, `dnssec-dnskey-kskonly`, `dnssec-secure-to-insecure`,
`update-check-ksk`, `dnssec-update-mode`, `dnskey-sig-validity`,
and `sig-validity-interval`.
Test a good kasp configuration, and some bad configurations.
- this required modification to the code that generates grammar text for
the documentation, because the "dnssec-lookaside" option spanned more
than one line in doc/misc/options, so grepping out only the lines
marked "// obsolete" didn't remove the whole option. this commit adds
an option to cfg_test to print named.conf clauses only if they don't
have the obsolete, ancient, test-only, or not-yet-implemented flags
set.
This commit changes the BIND cookie algorithms to match
draft-sury-toorop-dnsop-server-cookies-00. Namely, it changes the Client Cookie
algorithm to use SipHash 2-4, adds the new Server Cookie algorithm using SipHash
2-4, and changes the default for the Server Cookie algorithm to be siphash24.
Add siphash24 cookie algorithm, and make it keep legacy aes as
The 'managed-keys' (and 'trusted-keys') options have been deprecated
by 'dnssec-keys'. Some documentation references to 'managed-keys'
had not yet been marked or noted as such.
- change references to trusted-keys to dnssec-keys with static-key
- rebuild doc/misc/options and other generated grammar doc
- add a "see MANAGED-KEYS" note when building named.conf.docbook
removed the SDB databases in contrib/sdb as they hadn't been
maintained in some time, and were no longer able to link to named
without modification. also:
- cleaned up contrib/README, which still referred to contrib
subdirectores that were removed already, and linked to an obsolete URL.
- removed references to sdb in doc/misc/roadmap and doc/misc/sdb.
- 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
- added a 'hookdata' array to qctx to store pointers to up to
16 blobs of data which are allocated by modules as needed.
each module is assigned an ID number as it's loaded, and this
is the index into the hook data array. this is to be used for
holding persistent state between calls to a hook module for a
specific query.
- instead of using qctx->filter_aaaa, we now use qctx->hookdata.
(this was the last piece of filter-aaaa specific code outside the
module.)
- added hook points for qctx initialization and destruction. we get
a filter-aaaa data pointer from the mempool when initializing and
store it in the qctx->hookdata table; return to to the mempool
when destroying the qctx.
- link the view to the qctx so that detaching the client doesn't cause
hooks to fail
- added a qctx_destroy() function which must be called after qctx_init;
this calls the QCTX_DESTROY hook and detaches the view
- general cleanup and comments
Contrary to what the documentation states, the "server-addresses"
static-stub zone option does not accept custom port numbers. Fix the
configuration type used by the "server-addresses" option to ensure
documentation matches source code. Remove a check_zoneconf() test which
is unnecessary with this fix in place.
- added new 'validate-except' option, which configures an NTA with
expiry of 0xffffffff. NTAs with that value in the expiry field do not
expire, are are not written out when saving the NTA table and are not
dumped by rndc secroots
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.
[RT #36957]
Stage 2 - synthesis of records from wildcard data.
If the dns64 or filter-aaaa* is configured then the
involved lookups are currently excluded. [RT #40138]
4726. [port] Prevent setsockopt() errors related to TCP_FASTOPEN
from being logged on FreeBSD if the kernel does not
support it. Notify the user when the kernel does
support TCP_FASTOPEN, but it is disabled by sysctl.
Add a new configure option, --disable-tcp-fastopen, to
disable use of TCP_FASTOPEN altogether. [RT #44754]
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.
[RT #45186]
allows named to provide stale cached answers when
the authoritative server is under attack.
See max-stale-ttl, stale-answer-enable,
stale-answer-ttl. [RT #44790]
4664. [func] Add a "glue-cache" option to enable or disable the
glue cache. The default is "no" to reduce memory
usage, but enabling this option will improve
performance in delegation-heavy zones. [RT #45125]
4579. [func] Logging channels and dnstap output files can now
be configured with a "suffix" option, set to
either "increment" or "timestamp", indicating
whether to use incrementing numbers or timestamps
as the file suffix when rolling over a log file.
[RT #42838]
4549. [func] Added support for the EDNS TCP Keepalive option
(RFC 7828). [RT #42126]
4548. [func] Added support for the EDNS Padding option (RFC 7830).
[RT #42094]
4040. [func] Added server-side support for pipelined TCP
queries. TCP connections are no longer closed after
the first query received from a client. (The new
"keep-response-order" option allows clients to be
specified for which the old behavior will still be
used.) [RT #37821]
(which are similar to DNS Cookies by Donald Eastlake)
and are designed to help clients detect off path
spoofed responses and for servers to detect legitimate
clients.
SIT use a experimental EDNS option code (65001).
SIT can be enabled via --enable-developer or
--enable-sit. It is on by default in Windows.
RRL processing as been updated to know about SIT with
legitimate clients not being rate limited. [RT #35389]
