Previously, the isc_mem_create() and isc_mem_createx() functions took `max_size`
and `target_size` as first two arguments. Those values were never used in the
BIND 9 code. The refactoring removes those arguments and let BIND 9 always use
the default values.
Previously, the isc_mem_create() and isc_mem_createx() functions could have
failed because of failed memory allocation. As this was no longer true and the
functions have always returned ISC_R_SUCCESS, the have been refactored to return
void.
Rather than overloading dns_zone_slave and discerning between a slave
zone and a mirror zone using a zone option, define a separate enum
value, dns_zone_mirror, to be used exclusively by mirror zones. Update
code handling slave zones to ensure it also handles mirror zones where
applicable.
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]
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]
