Advanced DNS Features
=====================
.. _notify:
Notify
------
DNS NOTIFY is a mechanism that allows primary servers to notify their
secondary servers of changes to a zone's data. In response to a ``NOTIFY``
from a primary server, the secondary checks to see that its version of
the zone is the current version and, if not, initiates a zone transfer.
For more information about DNS ``NOTIFY``, see the description of the
``notify`` option in :ref:`boolean_options` and the
description of the zone option ``also-notify`` in :ref:`zone_transfers`.
The ``NOTIFY`` protocol is specified in :rfc:`1996`.
.. note::
As a secondary zone can also be a primary to other secondaries, ``named``, by
default, sends ``NOTIFY`` messages for every zone it loads.
Specifying ``notify primary-only;`` causes ``named`` to only send
``NOTIFY`` for primary zones that it loads.
.. _dynamic_update:
Dynamic Update
--------------
Dynamic update is a method for adding, replacing, or deleting records in
a primary server by sending it a special form of DNS messages. The format
and meaning of these messages is specified in :rfc:`2136`.
Dynamic update is enabled by including an ``allow-update`` or an
``update-policy`` clause in the ``zone`` statement.
If the zone's ``update-policy`` is set to ``local``, updates to the zone
are permitted for the key ``local-ddns``, which is generated by
``named`` at startup. See :ref:`dynamic_update_policies` for more details.
Dynamic updates using Kerberos-signed requests can be made using the
TKEY/GSS protocol, either by setting the ``tkey-gssapi-keytab`` option
or by setting both the ``tkey-gssapi-credential`` and
``tkey-domain`` options. Once enabled, Kerberos-signed requests are
matched against the update policies for the zone, using the Kerberos
principal as the signer for the request.
Updating of secure zones (zones using DNSSEC) follows :rfc:`3007`: RRSIG,
NSEC, and NSEC3 records affected by updates are automatically regenerated
by the server using an online zone key. Update authorization is based on
transaction signatures and an explicit server policy.
.. _journal:
The Journal File
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All changes made to a zone using dynamic update are stored in the zone's
journal file. This file is automatically created by the server when the
first dynamic update takes place. The name of the journal file is formed
by appending the extension ``.jnl`` to the name of the corresponding
zone file, unless specifically overridden. The journal file is in a
binary format and should not be edited manually.
The server also occasionally writes ("dumps") the complete contents
of the updated zone to its zone file. This is not done immediately after
each dynamic update because that would be too slow when a large zone is
updated frequently. Instead, the dump is delayed by up to 15 minutes,
allowing additional updates to take place. During the dump process,
transient files are created with the extensions ``.jnw`` and
``.jbk``; under ordinary circumstances, these are removed when the
dump is complete, and can be safely ignored.
When a server is restarted after a shutdown or crash, it replays the
journal file to incorporate into the zone any updates that took place
after the last zone dump.
Changes that result from incoming incremental zone transfers are also
journaled in a similar way.
The zone files of dynamic zones cannot normally be edited by hand
because they are not guaranteed to contain the most recent dynamic
changes; those are only in the journal file. The only way to ensure
that the zone file of a dynamic zone is up-to-date is to run
``rndc stop``.
To make changes to a dynamic zone manually, follow these steps:
first, disable dynamic updates to the zone using
``rndc freeze zone``. This updates the zone file with the
changes stored in its ``.jnl`` file. Then, edit the zone file. Finally, run
``rndc thaw zone`` to reload the changed zone and re-enable dynamic
updates.
``rndc sync zone`` updates the zone file with changes from the
journal file without stopping dynamic updates; this may be useful for
viewing the current zone state. To remove the ``.jnl`` file after
updating the zone file, use ``rndc sync -clean``.
.. _incremental_zone_transfers:
Incremental Zone Transfers (IXFR)
---------------------------------
The incremental zone transfer (IXFR) protocol is a way for secondary servers
to transfer only changed data, instead of having to transfer an entire
zone. The IXFR protocol is specified in :rfc:`1995`. See :ref:`proposed_standards`.
When acting as a primary server, BIND 9 supports IXFR for those zones where the
necessary change history information is available. These include primary
zones maintained by dynamic update and secondary zones whose data was
obtained by IXFR. For manually maintained primary zones, and for secondary
zones obtained by performing a full zone transfer (AXFR), IXFR is
supported only if the option ``ixfr-from-differences`` is set to
``yes``.
When acting as a secondary server, BIND 9 attempts to use IXFR unless it is
explicitly disabled. For more information about disabling IXFR, see the
description of the ``request-ixfr`` clause of the ``server`` statement.
When a secondary server receives a zone via AXFR, it creates a new copy of the
zone database and then swaps it into place; during the loading process, queries
continue to be served from the old database with no interference. When receiving
a zone via IXFR, however, changes are applied to the running zone, which may
degrade query performance during the transfer. If a server receiving an IXFR
request determines that the response size would be similar in size to an AXFR
response, it may wish to send AXFR instead. The threshold at which this
determination is made can be configured using the
``max-ixfr-ratio`` option.
.. _split_dns:
Split DNS
---------
Setting up different views of the DNS space to internal
and external resolvers is usually referred to as a *split DNS* setup.
There are several reasons an organization might want to set up its DNS
this way.
One common reason to use split DNS is to hide
"internal" DNS information from "external" clients on the Internet.
There is some debate as to whether this is actually useful.
Internal DNS information leaks out in many ways (via email headers, for
example) and most savvy "attackers" can find the information they need
using other means. However, since listing addresses of internal servers
that external clients cannot possibly reach can result in connection
delays and other annoyances, an organization may choose to use split
DNS to present a consistent view of itself to the outside world.
Another common reason for setting up a split DNS system is to allow
internal networks that are behind filters or in :rfc:`1918` space (reserved
IP space, as documented in :rfc:`1918`) to resolve DNS on the Internet.
Split DNS can also be used to allow mail from outside back into the
internal network.
.. _split_dns_sample:
Example Split DNS Setup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's say a company named *Example, Inc.* (``example.com``) has several
corporate sites that have an internal network with reserved Internet
Protocol (IP) space and an external demilitarized zone (DMZ), or
"outside" section of a network, that is available to the public.
Example, Inc. wants its internal clients to be able to resolve
external hostnames and to exchange mail with people on the outside. The
company also wants its internal resolvers to have access to certain
internal-only zones that are not available at all outside of the
internal network.
To accomplish this, the company sets up two sets of name
servers. One set is on the inside network (in the reserved IP
space) and the other set is on bastion hosts, which are "proxy"
hosts in the DMZ that can talk to both sides of its network.
The internal servers are configured to forward all queries, except
queries for ``site1.internal``, ``site2.internal``,
``site1.example.com``, and ``site2.example.com``, to the servers in the
DMZ. These internal servers have complete sets of information for
``site1.example.com``, ``site2.example.com``, ``site1.internal``, and
``site2.internal``.
To protect the ``site1.internal`` and ``site2.internal`` domains, the
internal name servers must be configured to disallow all queries to
these domains from any external hosts, including the bastion hosts.
The external servers, which are on the bastion hosts, are configured
to serve the "public" version of the ``site1.example.com`` and ``site2.example.com``
zones. This could include things such as the host records for public
servers (``www.example.com`` and ``ftp.example.com``) and mail exchange
(MX) records (``a.mx.example.com`` and ``b.mx.example.com``).
In addition, the public ``site1.example.com`` and ``site2.example.com`` zones should
have special MX records that contain wildcard (``*``) records pointing to
the bastion hosts. This is needed because external mail servers
have no other way of determining how to deliver mail to those internal
hosts. With the wildcard records, the mail is delivered to the
bastion host, which can then forward it on to internal hosts.
Here's an example of a wildcard MX record:
::
* IN MX 10 external1.example.com.
Now that they accept mail on behalf of anything in the internal network,
the bastion hosts need to know how to deliver mail to internal
hosts. The resolvers on the bastion
hosts need to be configured to point to the internal name servers
for DNS resolution.
Queries for internal hostnames are answered by the internal servers,
and queries for external hostnames are forwarded back out to the DNS
servers on the bastion hosts.
For all of this to work properly, internal clients need to be
configured to query *only* the internal name servers for DNS queries.
This could also be enforced via selective filtering on the network.
If everything has been set properly, Example, Inc.'s internal clients
are now able to:
- Look up any hostnames in the ``site1.example.com`` and ``site2.example.com``
zones.
- Look up any hostnames in the ``site1.internal`` and
``site2.internal`` domains.
- Look up any hostnames on the Internet.
- Exchange mail with both internal and external users.
Hosts on the Internet are able to:
- Look up any hostnames in the ``site1.example.com`` and ``site2.example.com``
zones.
- Exchange mail with anyone in the ``site1.example.com`` and ``site2.example.com``
zones.
Here is an example configuration for the setup just described above.
Note that this is only configuration information; for information on how
to configure the zone files, see :ref:`sample_configuration`.

.. _tsig:
TSIG
----
TSIG (Transaction SIGnatures) is a mechanism for authenticating DNS
messages, originally specified in :rfc:`2845`. It allows DNS messages to be
cryptographically signed using a shared secret. TSIG can be used in any
DNS transaction, as a way to restrict access to certain server functions
(e.g., recursive queries) to authorized clients when IP-based access
control is insufficient or needs to be overridden, or as a way to ensure
message authenticity when it is critical to the integrity of the server,
such as with dynamic UPDATE messages or zone transfers from a primary to
a secondary server.
This section is a guide to setting up TSIG in BIND. It describes the
configuration syntax and the process of creating TSIG keys.
``named`` supports TSIG for server-to-server communication, and some of
the tools included with BIND support it for sending messages to
``named``:
* :ref:`man_nsupdate` supports TSIG via the ``-k``, ``-l``, and ``-y`` command-line options, or via the ``key`` command when running interactively.
* :ref:`man_dig` supports TSIG via the ``-k`` and ``-y`` command-line options.
Generating a Shared Key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TSIG keys can be generated using the ``tsig-keygen`` command; the output
of the command is a ``key`` directive suitable for inclusion in
``named.conf``. The key name, algorithm, and size can be specified by
command-line parameters; the defaults are "tsig-key", HMAC-SHA256, and
256 bits, respectively.
Any string which is a valid DNS name can be used as a key name. For
example, a key to be shared between servers called ``host1`` and ``host2``
could be called "host1-host2.", and this key can be generated using:
::
$ tsig-keygen host1-host2. > host1-host2.key
This key may then be copied to both hosts. The key name and secret must
be identical on both hosts. (Note: copying a shared secret from one
server to another is beyond the scope of the DNS. A secure transport
mechanism should be used: secure FTP, SSL, ssh, telephone, encrypted
email, etc.)
``tsig-keygen`` can also be run as ``ddns-confgen``, in which case its
output includes additional configuration text for setting up dynamic DNS
in ``named``. See :ref:`man_ddns-confgen` for details.
Loading a New Key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a key shared between servers called ``host1`` and ``host2``, the
following could be added to each server's ``named.conf`` file:
::
key "host1-host2." {
algorithm hmac-sha256;
secret "DAopyf1mhCbFVZw7pgmNPBoLUq8wEUT7UuPoLENP2HY=";
};
(This is the same key generated above using ``tsig-keygen``.)
Since this text contains a secret, it is recommended that either
``named.conf`` not be world-readable, or that the ``key`` directive be
stored in a file which is not world-readable and which is included in
``named.conf`` via the ``include`` directive.
Once a key has been added to ``named.conf`` and the server has been
restarted or reconfigured, the server can recognize the key. If the
server receives a message signed by the key, it is able to verify
the signature. If the signature is valid, the response is signed
using the same key.
TSIG keys that are known to a server can be listed using the command
``rndc tsig-list``.
Instructing the Server to Use a Key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A server sending a request to another server must be told whether to use
a key, and if so, which key to use.
For example, a key may be specified for each server in the ``primaries``
statement in the definition of a secondary zone; in this case, all SOA QUERY
messages, NOTIFY messages, and zone transfer requests (AXFR or IXFR)
are signed using the specified key. Keys may also be specified in
the ``also-notify`` statement of a primary or secondary zone, causing NOTIFY
messages to be signed using the specified key.
Keys can also be specified in a ``server`` directive. Adding the
following on ``host1``, if the IP address of ``host2`` is 10.1.2.3, would
cause *all* requests from ``host1`` to ``host2``, including normal DNS
queries, to be signed using the ``host1-host2.`` key:
::
server 10.1.2.3 {
keys { host1-host2. ;};
};
Multiple keys may be present in the ``keys`` statement, but only the
first one is used. As this directive does not contain secrets, it can be
used in a world-readable file.
Requests sent by ``host2`` to ``host1`` would *not* be signed, unless a
similar ``server`` directive were in ``host2``'s configuration file.
When any server sends a TSIG-signed DNS request, it expects the
response to be signed with the same key. If a response is not signed, or
if the signature is not valid, the response is rejected.
TSIG-Based Access Control
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TSIG keys may be specified in ACL definitions and ACL directives such as
``allow-query``, ``allow-transfer``, and ``allow-update``. The above key
would be denoted in an ACL element as ``key host1-host2.``
Here is an example of an ``allow-update`` directive using a TSIG key:
::
allow-update { !{ !localnets; any; }; key host1-host2. ;};
This allows dynamic updates to succeed only if the UPDATE request comes
from an address in ``localnets``, *and* if it is signed using the
``host1-host2.`` key.
See :ref:`dynamic_update_policies` for a
discussion of the more flexible ``update-policy`` statement.
Errors
~~~~~~
Processing of TSIG-signed messages can result in several errors:
- If a TSIG-aware server receives a message signed by an unknown key,
the response will be unsigned, with the TSIG extended error code set
to BADKEY.
- If a TSIG-aware server receives a message from a known key but with
an invalid signature, the response will be unsigned, with the TSIG
extended error code set to BADSIG.
- If a TSIG-aware server receives a message with a time outside of the
allowed range, the response will be signed but the TSIG extended
error code set to BADTIME, and the time values will be adjusted so
that the response can be successfully verified.
In all of the above cases, the server returns a response code of
NOTAUTH (not authenticated).
TKEY
----
TKEY (Transaction KEY) is a mechanism for automatically negotiating a
shared secret between two hosts, originally specified in :rfc:`2930`.
There are several TKEY "modes" that specify how a key is to be generated
or assigned. BIND 9 implements only one of these modes: Diffie-Hellman
key exchange. Both hosts are required to have a KEY record with
algorithm DH (though this record is not required to be present in a
zone).
The TKEY process is initiated by a client or server by sending a query
of type TKEY to a TKEY-aware server. The query must include an
appropriate KEY record in the additional section, and must be signed
using either TSIG or SIG(0) with a previously established key. The
server's response, if successful, contains a TKEY record in its
answer section. After this transaction, both participants have
enough information to calculate a shared secret using Diffie-Hellman key
exchange. The shared secret can then be used to sign subsequent
transactions between the two servers.
TSIG keys known by the server, including TKEY-negotiated keys, can be
listed using ``rndc tsig-list``.
TKEY-negotiated keys can be deleted from a server using
``rndc tsig-delete``. This can also be done via the TKEY protocol
itself, by sending an authenticated TKEY query specifying the "key
deletion" mode.
SIG(0)
------
BIND partially supports DNSSEC SIG(0) transaction signatures as
specified in :rfc:`2535` and :rfc:`2931`. SIG(0) uses public/private keys to
authenticate messages. Access control is performed in the same manner as with
TSIG keys; privileges can be granted or denied in ACL directives based
on the key name.
When a SIG(0) signed message is received, it is only verified if
the key is known and trusted by the server. The server does not attempt
to recursively fetch or validate the key.
SIG(0) signing of multiple-message TCP streams is not supported.
The only tool shipped with BIND 9 that generates SIG(0) signed messages
is ``nsupdate``.
.. _DNSSEC:
DNSSEC
------
Cryptographic authentication of DNS information is possible through the
DNS Security ("DNSSEC-bis") extensions, defined in :rfc:`4033`, :rfc:`4034`,
and :rfc:`4035`. This section describes the creation and use of DNSSEC
signed zones.
In order to set up a DNSSEC secure zone, there are a series of steps
which must be followed. BIND 9 ships with several tools that are used in
this process, which are explained in more detail below. In all cases,
the ``-h`` option prints a full list of parameters. Note that the DNSSEC
tools require the keyset files to be in the working directory or the
directory specified by the ``-d`` option.
There must also be communication with the administrators of the parent
and/or child zone to transmit keys. A zone's security status must be
indicated by the parent zone for a DNSSEC-capable resolver to trust its
data. This is done through the presence or absence of a ``DS`` record at
the delegation point.
For other servers to trust data in this zone, they must be
statically configured with either this zone's zone key or the zone key of
another zone above this one in the DNS tree.
.. _generating_dnssec_keys:
Generating Keys
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``dnssec-keygen`` program is used to generate keys.
A secure zone must contain one or more zone keys. The zone keys
sign all other records in the zone, as well as the zone keys of any
secure delegated zones. Zone keys must have the same name as the zone, have a
name type of ``ZONE``, and be usable for authentication. It is
recommended that zone keys use a cryptographic algorithm designated as
"mandatory to implement" by the IETF. Currently there are two algorithms,
RSASHA256 and ECDSAP256SHA256; ECDSAP256SHA256 is recommended for
current and future deployments.
The following command generates a ECDSAP256SHA256 key for the
``child.example`` zone:
``dnssec-keygen -a ECDSAP256SHA256 -n ZONE child.example.``
Two output files are produced: ``Kchild.example.+013+12345.key`` and
``Kchild.example.+013+12345.private`` (where 12345 is an example of a
key tag). The key filenames contain the key name (``child.example.``),
the algorithm (5 is RSASHA1, 8 is RSASHA256, 13 is ECDSAP256SHA256, 15 is
ED25519, etc.), and the key tag (12345 in this case). The private key (in
the ``.private`` file) is used to generate signatures, and the public
key (in the ``.key`` file) is used for signature verification.
To generate another key with the same properties but with a different
key tag, repeat the above command.
The ``dnssec-keyfromlabel`` program is used to get a key pair from a
crypto hardware device and build the key files. Its usage is similar to
``dnssec-keygen``.
The public keys should be inserted into the zone file by including the
``.key`` files using ``$INCLUDE`` statements.
.. _dnssec_zone_signing:
Signing the Zone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``dnssec-signzone`` program is used to sign a zone.
Any ``keyset`` files corresponding to secure sub-zones should be
present. The zone signer generates ``NSEC``, ``NSEC3``, and ``RRSIG``
records for the zone, as well as ``DS`` for the child zones if ``-g``
is specified. If ``-g`` is not specified, then DS RRsets for the
secure child zones need to be added manually.
By default, all zone keys which have an available private key are used
to generate signatures. The following command signs the zone, assuming
it is in a file called ``zone.child.example``:
``dnssec-signzone -o child.example zone.child.example``
One output file is produced: ``zone.child.example.signed``. This file
should be referenced by ``named.conf`` as the input file for the zone.
``dnssec-signzone`` also produces keyset and dsset files. These are used
to provide the parent zone administrators with the ``DNSKEYs`` (or their
corresponding ``DS`` records) that are the secure entry point to the zone.
.. _dnssec_config:
Configuring Servers for DNSSEC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To enable ``named`` to validate answers received from other servers, the
``dnssec-validation`` option must be set to either ``yes`` or ``auto``.
When ``dnssec-validation`` is set to ``auto``, a trust anchor for the
DNS root zone is automatically used. This trust anchor is provided
as part of BIND and is kept up to date using :rfc:`5011` key management.
When ``dnssec-validation`` is set to ``yes``, DNSSEC validation
only occurs if at least one trust anchor has been explicitly configured
in ``named.conf``, using a ``trust-anchors`` statement (or the
``managed-keys`` and ``trusted-keys`` statements, both deprecated).
When ``dnssec-validation`` is set to ``no``, DNSSEC validation does not
occur.
The default is ``auto`` unless BIND is built with
``configure --disable-auto-validation``, in which case the default is
``yes``.
The keys specified in ``trust-anchors`` are copies of DNSKEY RRs for zones that are
used to form the first link in the cryptographic chain of trust. Keys configured
with the keyword ``static-key`` or ``static-ds`` are loaded directly into the
table of trust anchors, and can only be changed by altering the
configuration. Keys configured with ``initial-key`` or ``initial-ds`` are used
to initialize :rfc:`5011` trust anchor maintenance, and are kept up-to-date
automatically after the first time ``named`` runs.
``trust-anchors`` is described in more detail later in this document.
BIND 9 does not verify signatures on load, so zone keys
for authoritative zones do not need to be specified in the configuration
file.
After DNSSEC is established, a typical DNSSEC configuration looks
something like the following. It has one or more public keys for the
root, which allows answers from outside the organization to be validated.
It also has several keys for parts of the namespace that the
organization controls. These are here to ensure that ``named`` is immune
to compromised security in the DNSSEC components of parent zones.

.. note::
None of the keys listed in this example are valid. In particular, the
root key is not valid.
When DNSSEC validation is enabled and properly configured, the resolver
rejects any answers from signed, secure zones which fail to
validate, and returns SERVFAIL to the client.
Responses may fail to validate for any of several reasons, including
missing, expired, or invalid signatures, a key which does not match the
DS RRset in the parent zone, or an insecure response from a zone which,
according to its parent, should have been secure.
.. note::
When the validator receives a response from an unsigned zone that has
a signed parent, it must confirm with the parent that the zone was
intentionally left unsigned. It does this by verifying, via signed
and validated NSEC/NSEC3 records, that the parent zone contains no DS
records for the child.
If the validator *can* prove that the zone is insecure, then the
response is accepted. However, if it cannot, the validator must assume an
insecure response to be a forgery; it rejects the response and logs
an error.
The logged error reads "insecurity proof failed" and "got insecure
response; parent indicates it should be secure."

IPv6 Support in BIND 9
----------------------
BIND 9 fully supports all currently defined forms of IPv6 name-to-address
and address-to-name lookups. It also uses IPv6 addresses to
make queries when running on an IPv6-capable system.
For forward lookups, BIND 9 supports only AAAA records. :rfc:`3363`
deprecated the use of A6 records, and client-side support for A6 records
was accordingly removed from BIND 9. However, authoritative BIND 9 name
servers still load zone files containing A6 records correctly, answer
queries for A6 records, and accept zone transfer for a zone containing
A6 records.
For IPv6 reverse lookups, BIND 9 supports the traditional "nibble"
format used in the ``ip6.arpa`` domain, as well as the older, deprecated
``ip6.int`` domain. Older versions of BIND 9 supported the "binary label"
(also known as "bitstring") format, but support of binary labels has
been completely removed per :rfc:`3363`. Many applications in BIND 9 do not
understand the binary label format at all anymore, and return an
error if one is given. In particular, an authoritative BIND 9 name server will
not load a zone file containing binary labels.
For an overview of the format and structure of IPv6 addresses, see
:ref:`ipv6addresses`.
Address Lookups Using AAAA Records
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The IPv6 AAAA record is a parallel to the IPv4 A record, and, unlike the
deprecated A6 record, specifies the entire IPv6 address in a single
record. For example:
::
$ORIGIN example.com.
host 3600 IN AAAA 2001:db8::1
Use of IPv4-in-IPv6 mapped addresses is not recommended. If a host has
an IPv4 address, use an A record, not a AAAA, with
``::ffff:192.168.42.1`` as the address.
Address-to-Name Lookups Using Nibble Format
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When looking up an address in nibble format, the address components are
simply reversed, just as in IPv4, and ``ip6.arpa.`` is appended to the
resulting name. For example, the following would provide reverse name
lookup for a host with address ``2001:db8::1``:
::
$ORIGIN 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 14400 IN PTR (
host.example.com. )
