This is a simple test environment for running bind9 system tests
|
|
involving multiple name servers.
|
|
|
|
There are multiple test suites, each in a separate subdirectory and
|
|
involving a different DNS setup. They are:
|
|
|
|
xfer/ Zone transfer, update, and NOTIFY tests
|
|
notify/ More NOTIFY tests
|
|
xferquota/ Zone transfer quota tests
|
|
dnssec/ DNSSEC tests
|
|
|
|
Typically each test suite sets up 2-5 name servers and then performs
|
|
one or more tests against them. Within the test suite subdirectory,
|
|
each name server has a separate subdirectory containing its
|
|
configuration data. By convention, these subdirectories are named
|
|
"ns1", "ns2", etc.
|
|
|
|
The tests are completely self-contained and do not require access to
|
|
the real DNS. Generally, one of the test servers (ns1) is set up as a
|
|
root name server and is listed in the hints file of the others.
|
|
|
|
To enable all servers to run on the same machine, they bind to
|
|
separate virtual IP address on the loopback interface. ns1 runs on
|
|
10.53.0.1, ns2 on 10.53.0.2, etc. Before running any tests, you must
|
|
set up these addresses by running "ifconfig.sh start".
|
|
|
|
The servers use port 5300 instead of the usual port 53, so they can be
|
|
run without root privileges once the interfaces have been set up.
|
|
|
|
The tests can be run individually like this:
|
|
|
|
sh run.sh xfer
|
|
sh run.sh notify
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
To run all the tests, just type "make test".
