BIND 9.0.0 alpha 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
Status
|
|
|
|
Most of the core technology planned for BIND 9 is in this release. Some
|
|
of the highlights are:
|
|
|
|
IPv6
|
|
|
|
Support for bitstring labels, DNAME, and A6 records.
|
|
|
|
IPv6-aware resolver (follows A6 chains, can use IPv6 to
|
|
talk to other nameservers).
|
|
|
|
The nameserver listens on an IPv6 socket.
|
|
|
|
DNSSEC
|
|
|
|
All new RR types supported.
|
|
|
|
The server generates DNSSEC responses for secure zones.
|
|
|
|
EDNS0 (server only), IXFR, AXFR, dynamic update
|
|
|
|
|
|
With the exception of the DNSSEC validator, all the major new
|
|
functionality is done. We expect to finish the DNSSEC validator by
|
|
the end of December.
|
|
|
|
This release is alpha quality. There are still a number of unfinished
|
|
areas, for example: most config file options, sanity checking,
|
|
performance tuning, high-volume client support, garbage collection,
|
|
however, none of these areas are especially difficult.
|
|
|
|
We've used BIND 9 as the nameserver while web surfing and doing other
|
|
ordinary tasks, and it has worked. We've successfully answered
|
|
queries sent over IPv6 sockets, and have used IPv6 to query other
|
|
nameservers (also running BIND 9 of course!).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
|
|
We've had successful builds and tests on the following systems
|
|
|
|
AIX 4.3
|
|
BSDI 3.1, 4.0.1
|
|
COMPAQ Tru64 UNIX 4.0D, 5.0
|
|
FreeBSD 3.3
|
|
HP-UX 11
|
|
IRIX64 6.5
|
|
NetBSD 1.4.1
|
|
Red Hat Linux 6.0, 6.1
|
|
Solaris 2.6, 7
|
|
|
|
To build, just
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Do not run 'make install'. Shared libraries will be built if "--with-libtool"
|
|
is added to the "configure" command.
|
|
|
|
Building with gcc is not supported, unless gcc is the vendor's usual
|
|
compiler (e.g. the various BSD systems, Linux).
|
|
|
|
|
|
bin/named notes
|
|
|
|
The server now uses the BIND 8 config file format. All options are parsed,
|
|
but most do not have any effect as yet.
|
|
|
|
The server now runs on port 53 by default. Use "-p" if you want to run
|
|
on a different port.
|
|
|
|
The server does not yet "daemonize".
|
|
|
|
|
|
API Note
|
|
|
|
All APIs are subject to change in future code drops. We expect the
|
|
existing library interfaces in the code drop to be quite stable,
|
|
however, and unless we've specifically indicated that an interface is
|
|
temporary, we don't expect significant changes in future releases.
