Add one test that checks the behavior when serve-stale is enabled
via configuration (as opposed to enabled via rndc).
Add one test that checks the behavior when stale-refresh-time is
disabled (set to 0).
Using a 'stale-answer-ttl' the same value as the authoritative ttl
value makes it hard to differentiate between a response from the
stale cache and a response from the authoritative server.
Change the stale-answer-ttl from 2 to 4, so that it differs from the
authoritative ttl.
The strategy of running many dig commands in parallel and
waiting for the respective output files to be non empty was
resulting in random test failures, hard to reproduce, where
it was possible that the subsequent reading of the files could
have been failing due to the file's content not being fully flushed.
Instead of checking if output files are non empty, we now wait
for the dig processes to finish.
This test works as follow:
- Query for data.example rrset.
- Sleep until its TTL expires (2 secs).
- Disable authoritative server.
- Query for data.example again.
- Since server is down, answer come from stale cache, which has
a configured stale-answer-ttl of 3 seconds.
- Enable authoritative server.
- Query for data.example again
- Since last query before activating authoritative server failed, and
since 'stale-refresh-time' seconds hasn't elapsed yet, answer should
come from stale cache and not from the authoritative server.
Before the stale-refresh-time feature, the system test for ancient rrset
was somewhat based on the average time the previous tests and queries
were taking, thus not very precise.
After the addition of stale-refresh-time the system test for ancient
rrset started to fail since the queries for stale records (low
max-stale-ttl) were not taking the time to do a full resolution
anymore, since the answers now were coming from the cache (because the
rrset were stale and within stale-refresh-time window after the
previous resolution failure).
To handle this, the correct time to wait before rrset become ancient is
calculated from max-stale-ttl configuration plus the TTL set in the
rrset used in the tests (ans2/ans.pl).
Then before sending queries for ancient rrset, we check if we need to
sleep enough to ensure those rrset will be marked as ancient.
RFC 8767 recommends that attempts to refresh to be done no more
frequently than every 30 seconds.
Added check into named-checkconf, which will warn if values below the
default are found in configuration.
BIND will also log the warning during loading of configuration in the
same fashion.
Before this update, BIND would attempt to do a full recursive resolution
process for each query received if the requested rrset had its ttl
expired. If the resolution fails for any reason, only then BIND would
check for stale rrset in cache (if 'stale-cache-enable' and
'stale-answer-enable' is on).
The problem with this approach is that if an authoritative server is
unreachable or is failing to respond, it is very unlikely that the
problem will be fixed in the next seconds.
A better approach to improve performance in those cases, is to mark the
moment in which a resolution failed, and if new queries arrive for that
same rrset, try to respond directly from the stale cache, and do that
for a window of time configured via 'stale-refresh-time'.
Only when this interval expires we then try to do a normal refresh of
the rrset.
The logic behind this commit is as following:
- In query.c / query_gotanswer(), if the test of 'result' variable falls
to the default case, an error is assumed to have happened, and a call
to 'query_usestale()' is made to check if serving of stale rrset is
enabled in configuration.
- If serving of stale answers is enabled, a flag will be turned on in
the query context to look for stale records:
query.c:6839
qctx->client->query.dboptions |= DNS_DBFIND_STALEOK;
- A call to query_lookup() will be made again, inside it a call to
'dns_db_findext()' is made, which in turn will invoke rbdb.c /
cache_find().
- In rbtdb.c / cache_find() the important bits of this change is the
call to 'check_stale_header()', which is a function that yields true
if we should skip the stale entry, or false if we should consider it.
- In check_stale_header() we now check if the DNS_DBFIND_STALEOK option
is set, if that is the case we know that this new search for stale
records was made due to a failure in a normal resolution, so we keep
track of the time in which the failured occured in rbtdb.c:4559:
header->last_refresh_fail_ts = search->now;
- In check_stale_header(), if DNS_DBFIND_STALEOK is not set, then we
know this is a normal lookup, if the record is stale and the query
time is between last failure time + stale-refresh-time window, then
we return false so cache_find() knows it can consider this stale
rrset entry to return as a response.
The last additions are two new methods to the database interface:
- setservestale_refresh
- getservestale_refresh
Those were added so rbtdb can be aware of the value set in configuration
option, since in that level we have no access to the view object.
This commit adds couple of additional safeguards against running
sends/reads on inactive sockets. The changes was modeled after the
changes we made to netmgr/tcpdns.c
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.
Add server-side TLS support to netmgr - that includes moving some of the
isc_nm_ functions from tcp.c to a wrapper in netmgr.c calling a proper
tcp or tls function, and a new isc_nm_listentls() function.
Add DoT support to tcpdns - isc_nm_listentlsdns().
The SOA lookup for edns512 could succeed if the negative response
for ns.edns512/AAAA completed before all the edns512/SOA query
attempts are made. The ns.edns512/AAAA lookup returns tc=1 and
the SOA record is cached after processing the NODATA response.
Lookup a TXT record at edns512 and look it up instead of the
SOA record.
Removed 'checking that TCP failures do not influence EDNS statistics
in the ADB' as it is no longer appropriate.
there were two failures during observed in testing, both occurring
when 'rndc halt' was run rather than 'rndc stop' - the latter dumps
zone contents to disk and presumably introduced enough delay to
prevent the races:
- a failure when the zone was shut down and called dns_xfrin_detach()
before the xfrin had finished connecting; the connect timeout
terminated without detaching its handle
- a failure when the tcpdns socket timer fired after the outerhandle
had already been cleared.
this commit incidentally addresses a failure observed in mutexatomic
due to a variable having been initialized incorrectly.
This commit extends the perl Configure script to also check for libssl
in addition to libcrypto and change the vcxproj source files to link
with both libcrypto and libssl.
