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.

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
