+<p><span class="command"><strong>named-checkconf</strong></span>
checks the syntax, but not the semantics, of a
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> configuration file. The file is parsed
and checked for syntax errors, along with all files included by it.
If no file is specified, <code class="filename">/etc/named.conf</code> is read
by default.
</p>
+<p>
Note: files that <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> reads in separate
parser contexts, such as <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> and
<code class="filename">bind.keys</code>, are not automatically read
successful. <span class="command"><strong>named-checkconf</strong></span> can be run
on these files explicitly, however.

+<p>
<span class="command"><strong>tsig-keygen</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>ddns-confgen</strong></span>
are invocation methods for a utility that generates keys for use
in TSIG signing. The resulting keys can be used, for example,
to secure dynamic DNS updates to a zone or for the
<span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> command channel.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When run as <span class="command"><strong>tsig-keygen</strong></span>, a domain name
can be specified on the command line which will be used as
the name of the generated key. If no name is specified,
the default is <code class="constant">tsig-key</code>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When run as <span class="command"><strong>ddns-confgen</strong></span>, the generated
key is accompanied by configuration text and instructions
that can be used with <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span> and
<span class="command"><strong>rndc-confgen</strong></span> command for setting
up command channel security.)
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Note that <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> itself can configure a
local DDNS key for use with <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate -l</strong></span>:
it does this when a zone is configured with
if <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span> is to be used from a remote
system.

+<p><span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>
(Domain Entity Lookup & Validation) is a tool for sending
DNS queries and validating the results, using the same internal
resolver and validator logic as <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>.
</p>
+<p>
<span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will send to a specified name server all
queries needed to fetch and validate the requested data; this
includes the original requested query, subsequent queries to follow
behavior of a name server configured for DNSSEC validating and
forwarding.
</p>
+<p>
By default, responses are validated using built-in DNSSEC trust
anchors for the root zone (".") and for the ISC DNSSEC lookaside
validation zone ("dlv.isc.org"). Records returned by
be used to check the validity of DNS responses in environments
where local name servers may not be trustworthy.
</p>
+<p>
Unless it is told to query a specific name server,
<span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will try each of the servers listed in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>. If no usable server
queries to the localhost addresses (127.0.0.1 for IPv4, ::1
for IPv6).
</p>
+<p>
When no command line arguments or options are given,
<span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will perform an NS query for "."
(the root zone).

+<a name="id-1.7"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<p><span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span>
(domain information groper) is a flexible tool
for interrogating DNS name servers. It performs DNS lookups and
displays the answers that are returned from the name server(s) that
clarity of output. Other lookup tools tend to have less functionality
than <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Although <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> is normally used with
command-line
arguments, it also has a batch mode of operation for reading lookup
from the
command line.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Unless it is told to query a specific name server,
<span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> will try each of the servers listed in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>. If no usable server addresses
are found, <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> will send the query to the local
host.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When no command line arguments or options are given,
<span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> will perform an NS query for "." (the root).
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
It is possible to set per-user defaults for <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> via
<code class="filename">${HOME}/.digrc</code>. This file is read and
any options in it
are applied before the command line arguments.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The IN and CH class names overlap with the IN and CH top level
domain names. Either use the <code class="option">-t</code> and
<code class="option">-c</code> options to specify the type and class,
use the <code class="option">-q</code> the specify the domain name, or
use "IN." and "CH." when looking up these top level domains.

address in colon-delimited notation. When the supplied
<span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> resolves that name before querying
that name server.

+<p><span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span>
is a simple utility for performing DNS lookups.
It is normally used to convert names to IP addresses and vice versa.
When no arguments or options are given,
<span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span>
prints a short summary of its command line arguments and options.
</p>

- <p><em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> is the domain name that is to be
+<p><em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> is the domain name that is to be
looked
up. It can also be a dotted-decimal IPv4 address or a colon-delimited
IPv6 address, in which case <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> will by
should query instead of the server or servers listed in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-a</code> (all) option is equivalent to setting the
<code class="option">-v</code> option and asking <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> to make
a query of type ANY.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When the <code class="option">-C</code> option is used, <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span>
will attempt to display the SOA records for zone
<em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> from all the listed
servers for that zone. The list of name servers is defined by the NS
records that are found for the zone.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-c</code> option instructs to make a DNS query of class
<em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em>. This can be used to lookup
Hesiod or
Chaosnet class resource records. The default class is IN (Internet).
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Verbose output is generated by <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> when
the
<code class="option">-d</code> or <code class="option">-v</code> option is used. The two
<em class="parameter"><code>debug</code></em> option in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
List mode is selected by the <code class="option">-l</code> option. This makes
<span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> perform a zone transfer for zone
<em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>. Transfer the zone printing out
and address records (A/AAAA). If combined with <code class="option">-a</code>
all records will be printed.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-i</code>
option specifies that reverse lookups of IPv6 addresses should
use the IP6.INT domain as defined in RFC1886.
The default is to use IP6.ARPA.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-N</code> option sets the number of dots that have to be
in <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> for it to be considered
absolute. The
or <span class="type">domain</span> directive in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The number of UDP retries for a lookup can be changed with the
<code class="option">-R</code> option. <em class="parameter"><code>number</code></em>
indicates
the value of the <em class="parameter"><code>attempts</code></em> option in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>, if set.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Non-recursive queries can be made via the <code class="option">-r</code> option.
Setting this option clears the <span class="type">RD</span> — recursion
desired — bit in the query which <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> makes.
expecting to receive answers to those queries that are usually
referrals to other name servers.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
By default, <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> uses UDP when making
queries. The
<code class="option">-T</code> option makes it use a TCP connection when querying
the name server. TCP will be automatically selected for queries that
require it, such as zone transfer (AXFR) requests.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-4</code> option forces <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> to only
use IPv4 query transport. The <code class="option">-6</code> option forces
<span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> to only use IPv6 query transport.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-t</code> option is used to select the query type.
<em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> can be any recognized query
type: CNAME,
serial number can be specified by appending an equal followed by the
starting serial number (e.g. -t IXFR=12345678).
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The time to wait for a reply can be controlled through the
<code class="option">-W</code> and <code class="option">-w</code> options. The
<code class="option">-W</code> option makes <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span>
<em class="parameter"><code>timeout</code></em> option in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-s</code> option tells <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span>
<span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> to send the query to the next nameserver
if any server responds with a SERVFAIL response, which is the
reverse of normal stub resolver behavior.

+<p><span class="command"><strong>Nslookup</strong></span>
is a program to query Internet domain name servers. <span class="command"><strong>Nslookup</strong></span>
has two modes: interactive and non-interactive. Interactive mode allows
the user to query name servers for information about various hosts and
used to print just the name and requested information for a host or
domain.

+<p>
Interactive mode is entered in the following cases:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="a">

when the first argument is a hyphen (-) and the second argument is
the host name or Internet address of a name server.
- </p>
- </li>
+ </p></li>
</ol></div>
<p>
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Non-interactive mode is used when the name or Internet address of the
host to be looked up is given as the first argument. The optional second
argument specifies the host name or address of a name server.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Options can also be specified on the command line if they precede the
arguments and are prefixed with a hyphen. For example, to
change the default query type to host information, and the initial

<span class="command"><strong>nslookup</strong></span> to print the version
number and immediately exits.

Selects the cryptographic algorithm. The value of
<code class="option">algorithm</code> must be one of RSAMD5, RSASHA1,
DSA, NSEC3RSASHA1, NSEC3DSA, RSASHA256, RSASHA512, ECCGOST,
ECDSAP256SHA256 or ECDSAP384SHA384.
These values are case insensitive.
</p>
+<p>
If no algorithm is specified, then RSASHA1 will be used by
default, unless the <code class="option">-3</code> option is specified,
in which case NSEC3RSASHA1 will be used instead. (If
<code class="option">-3</code> is used and an algorithm is specified,
that algorithm will be checked for compatibility with NSEC3.)
</p>
+<p>
Note 1: that for DNSSEC, RSASHA1 is a mandatory to implement
algorithm, and DSA is recommended.
</p>
+<p>
Note 2: DH automatically sets the -k flag.

Specifies the cryptographic hardware to use.

When BIND is built with OpenSSL PKCS#11 support, this defaults
to the string "pkcs11", which identifies an OpenSSL engine
that can drive a cryptographic accelerator or hardware service
(--enable-native-pkcs11), it defaults to the path of the PKCS#11
provider library specified via "--with-pkcs11".

<dt><span class="term">-l <em class="replaceable"><code>label</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
+<p>
Specifies the label for a key pair in the crypto hardware.
</p>
+<p>
When <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 is built with OpenSSL-based
PKCS#11 support, the label is an arbitrary string that
identifies a particular key. It may be preceded by an
optional OpenSSL engine name, followed by a colon, as in
"pkcs11:<em class="replaceable"><code>keylabel</code></em>".
</p>
+<p>
When <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 is built with native PKCS#11
support, the label is a PKCS#11 URI string in the format
"pkcs11:<code class="option">keyword</code>=<em class="replaceable"><code>value</code></em>[<span class="optional">;<code class="option">keyword</code>=<em class="replaceable"><code>value</code></em>;...</span>]"
which the HSM's PIN code can be obtained. The label will be
stored in the on-disk "private" file.
</p>
+<p>
If the label contains a
<code class="option">pin-source</code> field, tools using the generated
key files will be able to use the HSM for signing and other
may reduce the security advantage of using an HSM; be sure
this is what you want to do before making use of this feature.

Selects the cryptographic algorithm. For DNSSEC keys, the value
of <code class="option">algorithm</code> must be one of RSAMD5, RSASHA1,
DSA, NSEC3RSASHA1, NSEC3DSA, RSASHA256, RSASHA512, ECCGOST,
HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA384, or HMAC-SHA512. These values are
case insensitive.
</p>
+<p>
If no algorithm is specified, then RSASHA1 will be used by
default, unless the <code class="option">-3</code> option is specified,
in which case NSEC3RSASHA1 will be used instead. (If
<code class="option">-3</code> is used and an algorithm is specified,
that algorithm will be checked for compatibility with NSEC3.)
</p>
+<p>
Note 1: that for DNSSEC, RSASHA1 is a mandatory to implement
algorithm, and DSA is recommended. For TSIG, HMAC-MD5 is
mandatory.
</p>
+<p>
Note 2: DH, HMAC-MD5, and HMAC-SHA1 through HMAC-SHA512
automatically set the -T KEY option.

Specifies the number of bits in the key. The choice of key
size depends on the algorithm used. RSA keys must be
between 512 and 2048 bits. Diffie Hellman keys must be between
between 1 and 512 bits. Elliptic curve algorithms don't need
this parameter.
</p>
+<p>
The key size does not need to be specified if using a default
algorithm. The default key size is 1024 bits for zone signing
keys (ZSKs) and 2048 bits for key signing keys (KSKs,
then there is no default key size, and the <code class="option">-b</code>
must be used.

When signing a zone with a fixed signature lifetime, all
RRSIG records issued at the time of signing expires
simultaneously. If the zone is incrementally signed, i.e.
expire time, thus spreading incremental signature
regeneration over time.
</p>
+<p>
Signature lifetime jitter also to some extent benefits
validators and servers by spreading out cache expiration,
i.e. if large numbers of RRSIGs don't expire at the same time
from all caches there will be less congestion than if all
validators need to refetch at mostly the same time.

+<p><span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span>
is the daemon providing name lookup
services to clients that use the BIND 9 lightweight resolver
library. It is essentially a stripped-down, caching-only name
server that answers queries using the BIND 9 lightweight
resolver protocol rather than the DNS protocol.
</p>
-
- <p><span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span>
+<p><span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span>
listens for resolver queries on a
UDP port on the IPv4 loopback interface, 127.0.0.1. This
means that <span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span> can only be used by
number 921 is used for lightweight resolver requests and
responses.
</p>
+<p>
Incoming lightweight resolver requests are decoded by the
server which then resolves them using the DNS protocol. When
the DNS lookup completes, <span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span> encodes
the answers in the lightweight resolver format and returns
them to the client that made the request.
</p>
+<p>
If <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code> contains any
<code class="option">nameserver</code> entries, <span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span>
sends recursive DNS queries to those servers. This is similar
queries autonomously starting at the root name servers, using
a built-in list of root server hints.

+<a name="id-1.7"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<p><span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
is used to submit Dynamic DNS Update requests as defined in RFC 2136
to a name server.
This allows resource records to be added or removed from a zone
one
resource record.
</p>
+<p>
Zones that are under dynamic control via
<span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
or a DHCP server should not be edited by hand.
Manual edits could
conflict with dynamic updates and cause data to be lost.
</p>
+<p>
The resource records that are dynamically added or removed with
<span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
have to be in the same zone.
Requests are sent to the zone's master server.
This is identified by the MNAME field of the zone's SOA record.
</p>
+<p>
Transaction signatures can be used to authenticate the Dynamic
DNS updates. These use the TSIG resource record type described
in RFC 2845 or the SIG(0) record described in RFC 2535 and
RFC 2931 or GSS-TSIG as described in RFC 3645.
</p>
+<p>
TSIG relies on
a shared secret that should only be known to
<span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span> and the name server.
uses the <code class="option">-y</code> or <code class="option">-k</code> options
to provide the TSIG shared secret. These options are mutually exclusive.
</p>
+<p>
SIG(0) uses public key cryptography.
To use a SIG(0) key, the public key must be stored in a KEY
record in a zone served by the name server.
</p>
+<p>
GSS-TSIG uses Kerberos credentials. Standard GSS-TSIG mode
is switched on with the <code class="option">-g</code> flag. A
non-standards-compliant variant of GSS-TSIG used by Windows
2000 can be switched on with the <code class="option">-o</code> flag.

verifies that the DNSSEC keys for a given zone or a set of zones
have timing metadata set properly to ensure no future lapses in DNSSEC
coverage.
</p>
+<p>
If <code class="option">zone</code> is specified, then keys found in
the key repository matching that zone are scanned, and an ordered
list is generated of the events scheduled for that key (i.e.,
key is rolled, and cached data signed by the prior key has not had
time to expire from resolver caches.
</p>
+<p>
If <code class="option">zone</code> is not specified, then all keys in the
key repository will be scanned, and all zones for which there are
keys will be analyzed. (Note: This method of reporting is only
accurate if all the zones that have keys in a given repository
share the same TTL parameters.)

+<p><code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> is the configuration file
for <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>, the BIND 9 name server control
utility. This file has a similar structure and syntax to
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>. Statements are enclosed
the statements are also semi-colon terminated. The usual
comment styles are supported:
</p>
+<p>
C style: /* */
</p>
+<p>
C++ style: // to end of line
</p>
+<p>
Unix style: # to end of line
</p>
-
<p><code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> is much simpler than
+<p><code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> is much simpler than
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>. The file uses three
statements: an options statement, a server statement
and a key statement.
</p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">options</code> statement contains five clauses.
The <code class="option">default-server</code> clause is followed by the
name or address of a name server. This host will be used when
can be used to set the IPv4 and IPv6 source addresses
respectively.
</p>
+<p>
After the <code class="option">server</code> keyword, the server
statement includes a string which is the hostname or address
for a name server. The statement has three possible clauses:
of supplied then these will be used to specify the IPv4 and IPv6
source addresses respectively.
</p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">key</code> statement begins with an identifying
string, the name of the key. The statement has two clauses.
<code class="option">algorithm</code> identifies the authentication algorithm
the base-64 encoding of the algorithm's authentication key. The
base-64 string is enclosed in double quotes.
</p>
+<p>
There are two common ways to generate the base-64 string for the
secret. The BIND 9 program <span class="command"><strong>rndc-confgen</strong></span>
can
ship with BIND 9 but is available on many systems. See the
EXAMPLE section for sample command lines for each.

In the above example, <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> will by
default use
the server at localhost (127.0.0.1) and the key called samplekey.

base-64 encoding of the HMAC-SHA256 secret enclosed in double quotes.
</p>
+<p>
If <span class="command"><strong>rndc -s testserver</strong></span> is used then <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> will
connect to server on localhost port 5353 using the key testkey.
</p>
+<p>
To generate a random secret with <span class="command"><strong>rndc-confgen</strong></span>:
</p>
-
<p><strong class="userinput"><code>rndc-confgen</code></strong>
+<p><strong class="userinput"><code>rndc-confgen</code></strong>

+<p>
A complete <code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> file, including

A negative trust anchor selectively disables
DNSSEC validation for zones that are known to be
failing because of misconfiguration rather than

NTA's lifetime is elapsed.
</p>

An existing NTA can be removed by using the

An NTA's lifetime can be specified with the
<code class="option">-lifetime</code> option. TTL-style
suffixes can be used to specify the lifetime in

<span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -nsec3param</strong></span> sets
the NSEC3 parameters for a zone. This is the
only supported mechanism for using NSEC3 with
an NSEC3PARAM resource record: hash algorithm,
flags, iterations, and salt, in that order.

Currently, the only defined value for hash algorithm
is <code class="literal">1</code>, representing SHA-1.
The <code class="option">flags</code> may be set to

random 64-bit salt.

So, for example, to create an NSEC3 chain using
the SHA-1 hash algorithm, no opt-out flag,
10 iterations, and a salt value of "FFFF", use:
salt, use:
<span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -nsec3param 1 1 15 - <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em></strong></span>.

<span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -serial value</strong></span> sets
the serial number of the zone to value. If the value

+<p>
Versions of BIND 9 up to and including BIND 9.6 had a bug causing
HMAC-SHA* TSIG keys which were longer than the digest length of the
hash algorithm (i.e., SHA1 keys longer than 160 bits, SHA256 keys
message authentication code that was incompatible with other DNS
implementations.
</p>
+<p>
This bug has been fixed in BIND 9.7. However, the fix may
cause incompatibility between older and newer versions of
BIND, when using long keys. <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span>
modifies those keys to restore compatibility.
</p>
+<p>
To modify a key, run <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span> and
specify the key's algorithm and secret on the command line. If the
secret is longer than the digest length of the algorithm (64 bytes
secret. (If the secret did not require conversion, then it will be
printed without modification.)

+<p>
Secrets that have been converted by <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span>
are shortened, but as this is how the HMAC protocol works in
operation anyway, it does not affect security. RFC 2104 notes,
extra length would not significantly increase the function

+<a name="id-1.7"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<p><span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span>
is a multiple/pipelined query version of <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span>:
instead of waiting for a response after sending each query,
it begins by sending all queries. Responses are displayed in
the order in which they are received, not in the order the
corresponding queries were sent.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
<span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span> options are a subset of the
<span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> options, and are divided into "anywhere
options" which can occur anywhere, "global options" which must
and "local options" which apply to the next query on the command
line.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The {@server} option is a mandatory global
option. It is the name or IP address of the name server to query.
(Unlike <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span>, this value is not retrieved from
<span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span> resolves that name before querying
the name server.
</p>
-
- <p><span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span>
+<p><span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span>
provides a number of query options which affect
the way in which lookups are made and the results displayed. Some of
these set or reset flag bits in the query header, some determine which
sections of the answer get printed, and others determine the timeout
and retry strategies.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Each query option is identified by a keyword preceded by a plus
sign (<code class="literal">+</code>). Some keywords set or reset an
option. These may be preceded by the string <code class="literal">no</code>
values to options like the timeout interval. They have the
form <code class="option">+keyword=value</code>.

The <code class="option">-f</code> option makes <span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span>
operate in batch mode by reading a list of lookup requests to
process from the file <em class="parameter"><code>filename</code></em>. The file
file should be organized in the same way they would be presented
as queries to <span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span> using the command-line interface.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-h</code> causes <span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span> to
print the detailed help with the full list of options and exit.
</p>

- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-v</code> causes <span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span> to
print the version number and exit.

The <code class="option">-4</code> option forces <span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span> to
only use IPv4 query transport.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-6</code> option forces <span class="command"><strong>mdig</strong></span> to
only use IPv6 query transport.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-b</code> option sets the source IP address of the
query to <em class="parameter"><code>address</code></em>. This must be a valid
address on one of the host's network interfaces or "0.0.0.0" or
"::". An optional port may be specified by appending
"#<port>"
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-p</code> option is used when a non-standard port
number is to be queried.
<em class="parameter"><code>port#</code></em> is the port number
test a name server that has been configured to listen for
queries on a non-standard port number.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, distributed
database. It stores information for mapping Internet host names to
IP
addresses and vice versa, mail routing information, and other data
used by Internet applications.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Clients look up information in the DNS by calling a
<span class="emphasis"><em>resolver</em></span> library, which sends queries to one or
more <span class="emphasis"><em>name servers</em></span> and interprets the responses.
<span class="command"><strong>libbind</strong></span> resolver library is also available
from ISC as a separate download.

+<a name="id-1.2.6.4"></a>Domains and Domain Names</h3></div></div></div>
+<p>
The data stored in the DNS is identified by <span class="emphasis"><em>domain names</em></span> that are organized as a tree according to
organizational or administrative boundaries. Each node of the tree,
called a <span class="emphasis"><em>domain</em></span>, is given a label. The domain
separated by dots. A label need only be unique within its parent
domain.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
For example, a domain name for a host at the
company <span class="emphasis"><em>Example, Inc.</em></span> could be
<code class="literal">ourhost.example.com</code>,
<code class="literal">ourhost</code> is the
name of the host.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
For administrative purposes, the name space is partitioned into
areas called <span class="emphasis"><em>zones</em></span>, each starting at a node and
extending down to the leaf nodes or to nodes where other zones
The data for each zone is stored in a <span class="emphasis"><em>name server</em></span>, which answers queries about the zone using the
<span class="emphasis"><em>DNS protocol</em></span>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The data associated with each domain name is stored in the
form of <span class="emphasis"><em>resource records</em></span> (<acronym class="acronym">RR</acronym>s).
Some of the supported resource record types are described in
<a class="xref" href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#types_of_resource_records_and_when_to_use_them" title="Types of Resource Records and When to Use Them">the section called “Types of Resource Records and When to Use Them”</a>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
For more detailed information about the design of the DNS and
the DNS protocol, please refer to the standards documents listed in
<a class="xref" href="Bv9ARM.ch11.html#rfcs" title="Request for Comments (RFCs)">the section called “Request for Comments (RFCs)”</a>.

+<p>
To properly operate a name server, it is important to understand
the difference between a <span class="emphasis"><em>zone</em></span>
and a <span class="emphasis"><em>domain</em></span>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
As stated previously, a zone is a point of delegation in
the <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> tree. A zone consists of
those contiguous parts of the domain
parent zone, which should be matched by equivalent NS records at
the root of the delegated zone.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
For instance, consider the <code class="literal">example.com</code>
domain which includes names
such as <code class="literal">host.aaa.example.com</code> and
gain a complete understanding of this difficult and subtle
topic.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Though <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> is called a "domain name
server",
it deals primarily in terms of zones. The master and slave
be a slave server for your <span class="emphasis"><em>domain</em></span>, you are
actually asking for slave service for some collection of zones.

+<p>
Each zone is served by at least
one <span class="emphasis"><em>authoritative name server</em></span>,
which contains the complete data for the zone.
most zones have two or more authoritative servers, on
different networks.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Responses from authoritative servers have the "authoritative
answer" (AA) bit set in the response packets. This makes them
easy to identify when debugging DNS configurations using tools like
<span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> (<a class="xref" href="Bv9ARM.ch03.html#diagnostic_tools" title="Diagnostic Tools">the section called “Diagnostic Tools”</a>).

+<p>
The authoritative server where the master copy of the zone
data is maintained is called the
<span class="emphasis"><em>primary master</em></span> server, or simply the
<span class="emphasis"><em>zone file</em></span> or
<span class="emphasis"><em>master file</em></span>.
</p>
-
- <p>

In some cases, however, the master file may not be edited
by humans at all, but may instead be the result of
<span class="emphasis"><em>dynamic update</em></span> operations.

The other authoritative servers, the <span class="emphasis"><em>slave</em></span>
servers (also known as <span class="emphasis"><em>secondary</em></span> servers)
load
to transfer it from another slave. In other words, a slave server
may itself act as a master to a subordinate slave server.

records. Stealth servers can be used for keeping a local copy of

</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
A configuration where the primary master server itself is a
stealth server is often referred to as a "hidden primary"
configuration. One use for this configuration is when the primary
is behind a firewall and therefore unable to communicate directly
with the outside world.

</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
To improve performance, recursive servers cache the results of
the lookups they perform. Since the processes of recursion and
caching are intimately connected, the terms
<span class="emphasis"><em>recursive server</em></span> and
<span class="emphasis"><em>caching server</em></span> are often used synonymously.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The length of time for which a record may be retained in
the cache of a caching name server is controlled by the
Time To Live (TTL) field associated with each resource record.

The <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> name server can
simultaneously act as
a master for some zones, a slave for other zones, and as a caching
(recursive) server for a set of local clients.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
However, since the functions of authoritative name service
and caching/recursive name service are logically separate, it is
often advantageous to run them on separate server machines.

<acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> hardware requirements have
traditionally been quite modest.
For many installations, servers that have been pensioned off from
active duty have performed admirably as <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> servers.
</p>
+<p>
The DNSSEC features of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9
may prove to be quite
CPU intensive however, so organizations that make heavy use of these
full utilization of
multiprocessor systems for installations that need it.

+<p>
CPU requirements for <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 range from
i486-class machines
for serving of static zones without caching, to enterprise-class
machines if you intend to process many dynamic updates and DNSSEC
signed zones, serving many thousands of queries per second.

The memory of the server has to be large enough to fit the
cache and zones loaded off disk. The <span class="command"><strong>max-cache-size</strong></span>
option can be used to limit the amount of memory used by the cache,
a relatively stable size where entries are expiring from the cache as
fast as they are being inserted.

+<p>
For name server intensive environments, there are two alternative
configurations that may be used. The first is where clients and
any second-level internal name servers query a main name server, which
this has the disadvantage of making many more external queries,
as none of the name servers share their cached data.

+<a name="id-1.4.4"></a>Load Balancing</h2></div></div></div>
+<p>
A primitive form of load balancing can be achieved in
the <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> by using multiple records
(such as multiple A records) for one name.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
For example, if you have three WWW servers with network addresses
of 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3, a set of records such as the
following means that clients will connect to each machine one third
of the time:
</p>
-
- <div class="informaltable">
- <table border="1">
+<div class="informaltable"><table border="1">
<colgroup>
<col width="0.875in" class="1">
<col width="0.500in" class="2">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
-</table>
- </div>
- <p>
+</table></div>
+<p>
When a resolver queries for these records, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> will rotate
them and respond to the query with the records in a different
order. In the example above, clients will randomly receive
records in the order 1, 2, 3; 2, 3, 1; and 3, 1, 2. Most clients
will use the first record returned and discard the rest.
</p>
+<p>
For more detail on ordering responses, check the
<span class="command"><strong>rrset-order</strong></span> sub-statement in the
<span class="command"><strong>options</strong></span> statement, see

The <span class="command"><strong>server</strong></span> statement
associates a key

A sample minimal configuration file is as follows:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">
key rndc_key {
algorithm "hmac-sha256";
default-key rndc_key;
};
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
This file, if installed as <code class="filename">/etc/rndc.conf</code>,
would allow the command:
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
<code class="prompt">$ </code><strong class="userinput"><code>rndc reload</code></strong>
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 953 and cause the name server
to reload, if a name server on the local machine were
running with
following controls statements:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1
allow { localhost; } keys { rndc_key; };
};
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
and it had an identical key statement for
<code class="literal">rndc_key</code>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Running the <span class="command"><strong>rndc-confgen</strong></span>
program will
conveniently create a <code class="filename">rndc.conf</code>
modify
<code class="filename">named.conf</code> at all.

<acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> NOTIFY is a mechanism that allows master
servers to notify their slave servers of changes to a zone's data. In
response to a <span class="command"><strong>NOTIFY</strong></span> from a master server, the

current version and, if not, initiate a zone transfer.

- <p>
+<p>
Dynamic Update is a method for adding, replacing or deleting
records in a master server by sending it a special form of DNS
messages. The format and meaning of these messages is specified
in RFC 2136.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Dynamic update is enabled by including an
<span class="command"><strong>allow-update</strong></span> or an <span class="command"><strong>update-policy</strong></span>
clause in the <span class="command"><strong>zone</strong></span> statement.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
If the zone's <span class="command"><strong>update-policy</strong></span> is set to
<strong class="userinput"><code>local</code></strong>, updates to the zone
will be permitted for the key <code class="varname">local-ddns</code>,
which will be generated by <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> at startup.
See <a class="xref" href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#dynamic_update_policies" title="Dynamic Update Policies">the section called “Dynamic Update Policies”</a> for more details.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Dynamic updates using Kerberos signed requests can be made
using the TKEY/GSS protocol by setting either the
<span class="command"><strong>tkey-gssapi-keytab</strong></span> option, or alternatively
policies for the zone, using the Kerberos principal as the
signer for the request.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
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.

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.
file unless specifically overridden. The journal file is in a
binary format and should not be edited manually.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The server will also occasionally write ("dump")
the complete contents of the updated zone to its zone file.
This is not done immediately after
will be removed when the dump is complete, and can be safely
ignored.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When a server is restarted after a shutdown or crash, it will replay
the journal file to incorporate into the zone any updates that
took
place after the last zone dump.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Changes that result from incoming incremental zone transfers are
also
journalled in a similar way.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
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 <span class="command"><strong>rndc stop</strong></span>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
If you have to make changes to a dynamic zone
manually, the following procedure will work:
Disable dynamic updates to the zone using
<span class="command"><strong>rndc thaw <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em></strong></span>
to reload the changed zone and re-enable dynamic updates.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
<span class="command"><strong>rndc sync <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em></strong></span>
will update the zone file with changes from the journal file
without stopping dynamic updates; this may be useful for viewing
file after updating the zone file, use
<span class="command"><strong>rndc sync -clean</strong></span>.

The incremental zone transfer (IXFR) protocol is a way for
slave servers to transfer only changed data, instead of having to
transfer the entire zone. The IXFR protocol is specified in RFC
1995. See <a class="xref" href="Bv9ARM.ch11.html#proposed_standards" title="Proposed Standards">Proposed Standards</a>.
</p>

When acting as a master, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9

<span class="command"><strong>ixfr-from-differences</strong></span> is set

</p>

- <p>

When acting as a slave, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 will
attempt to use IXFR unless
it is explicitly disabled. For more information about disabling
IXFR, see the description of the <span class="command"><strong>request-ixfr</strong></span> clause

One common reason for setting up a DNS system this way is
to hide "internal" DNS information from "external" clients on the
Internet. There is some debate as to whether or not this is actually
choose to use a Split DNS to present a consistent view of itself
to the outside world.
</p>
+<p>
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 in to the internal network.

Let's say a company named <span class="emphasis"><em>Example, Inc.</em></span>
(<code class="literal">example.com</code>)
has several corporate sites that have an internal network with
Internet Protocol (IP) space and an external demilitarized zone (DMZ),
or "outside" section of a network, that is available to the public.
</p>
+<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Example, Inc.</em></span> 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.
</p>
+<p>
In order to accomplish this, the company will set up two sets
of name servers. One set will be on the inside network (in the
reserved
"proxy"
hosts that can talk to both sides of its network, in the DMZ.
</p>
+<p>
The internal servers will be configured to forward all queries,
except queries for <code class="filename">site1.internal</code>, <code class="filename">site2.internal</code>, <code class="filename">site1.example.com</code>,
and <code class="filename">site2.example.com</code>, to the servers
for <code class="filename">site1.example.com</code>, <code class="filename">site2.example.com</code>, <code class="filename">site1.internal</code>,
and <code class="filename">site2.internal</code>.
</p>
+<p>
To protect the <code class="filename">site1.internal</code> and <code class="filename">site2.internal</code> domains,
the internal name servers must be configured to disallow all queries
to these domains from any external hosts, including the bastion
hosts.
</p>
+<p>
The external servers, which are on the bastion hosts, will
be configured to serve the "public" version of the <code class="filename">site1</code> and <code class="filename">site2.example.com</code> zones.
This could include things such as the host records for public servers
(<code class="filename">www.example.com</code> and <code class="filename">ftp.example.com</code>),
and mail exchange (MX) records (<code class="filename">a.mx.example.com</code> and <code class="filename">b.mx.example.com</code>).
</p>
+<p>
In addition, the public <code class="filename">site1</code> and <code class="filename">site2.example.com</code> zones
should have special MX records that contain wildcard (`*') records
pointing to the bastion hosts. This is needed because external mail
be delivered to the bastion host, which can then forward it on to
internal hosts.
</p>
+<p>
Here's an example of a wildcard MX record:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">* IN MX 10 external1.example.com.</pre>
+<pre class="programlisting">* IN MX 10 external1.example.com.</pre>
+<p>
Now that they accept mail on behalf of anything in the internal
network, the bastion hosts will need to know how to deliver mail
to internal hosts. In order for this to work properly, the resolvers
the bastion hosts will need to be configured to point to the internal
name servers for DNS resolution.
</p>
+<p>
Queries for internal hostnames will be answered by the internal
servers, and queries for external hostnames will be forwarded back
out to the DNS servers on the bastion hosts.
</p>
+<p>
In order for all this to work properly, internal clients will
need to be configured to query <span class="emphasis"><em>only</em></span> the internal
name servers for DNS queries. This could also be enforced via
selective
filtering on the network.
</p>
+<p>
If everything has been set properly, <span class="emphasis"><em>Example, Inc.</em></span>'s
internal clients will now be able to:

This is a short guide to setting up Transaction SIGnatures

</p>
+<p>
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> primarily supports TSIG for server
to server communication.
This includes zone transfer, notify, and recursive query messages.
Resolvers based on newer versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8 have limited support
for TSIG.

TSIG can also be useful for dynamic update. A primary
server for a dynamic zone should control access to the dynamic
update service, but IP-based access control is insufficient.

The following command will generate a 128-bit (16 byte) HMAC-SHA256
key as described above. Longer keys are better, but shorter keys
are easier to read. Note that the maximum key length is the digest
length, here 256 bits.

Imagine <span class="emphasis"><em>host1</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>host 2</em></span>
are
both servers. The following is added to each server's <code class="filename">named.conf</code> file:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">
key host1-host2. {

secret "La/E5CjG9O+os1jq0a2jdA==";

The secret is the one generated above. Since this is a secret, it
is recommended that either <code class="filename">named.conf</code> be
non-world readable, or the key directive be added to a non-world
readable file that is included by <code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
</p>

At this point, the key is recognized. This means that if the
server receives a message signed by this key, it can verify the
signature. If the signature is successfully verified, the
response is signed by the same key.

Since keys are shared between two hosts only, the server must

If <span class="emphasis"><em>host1</em></span> sends a message that is a request
to that address, the message will be signed with the specified key. <span class="emphasis"><em>host1</em></span> will
expect any responses to signed messages to be signed with the same

Unlike <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>

After DNSSEC gets established, a typical DNSSEC configuration
will look something like the following. It has one or
more public keys for the root. This allows answers from

<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
None of the keys listed in this example are valid. In particular,
the root key is not valid.
</div>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When DNSSEC validation is enabled and properly configured,
the resolver will reject any answers from signed, secure zones
which fail to validate, and will return SERVFAIL to the client.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
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.
</p>

+<p>
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.
</p>
+<p>
If the validator <span class="emphasis"><em>can</em></span> prove that the zone
is insecure, then the response is accepted. However, if it
cannot, then it must assume an insecure response to be a
forgery; it rejects the response and logs an error.
</p>
+<p>
The logged error reads "insecurity proof failed" and
"got insecure response; parent indicates it should be secure".
(Prior to BIND 9.7, the logged error was "not insecure".
This referred to the zone, not the response.)

PKCS#11 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #11) defines a
platform-independent API for the control of hardware security
modules (HSMs) and other cryptographic support devices.
</p>
+<p>
BIND 9 is known to work with three HSMs: The AEP Keyper, which has
been tested with Debian Linux, Solaris x86 and Windows Server 2003;
the Thales nShield, tested with Debian Linux; and the Sun SCA 6000
a software-based HSM simulator library produced by the OpenDNSSEC
project.
</p>
+<p>
PKCS#11 makes use of a "provider library": a dynamically loadable
library which provides a low-level PKCS#11 interface to drive the HSM
hardware. The PKCS#11 provider library comes from the HSM vendor, and
it is specific to the HSM to be controlled.
</p>
+<p>
There are two available mechanisms for PKCS#11 support in BIND 9:
OpenSSL-based PKCS#11 and native PKCS#11. When using the first
mechanism, BIND uses a modified version of OpenSSL, which loads
OpenSSL completely; BIND loads the provider library itself, and uses
the PKCS#11 API to drive the HSM directly.

OpenSSL-based PKCS#11 mode uses a modified version of the
OpenSSL library; stock OpenSSL does not fully support PKCS#11.
ISC provides a patch to OpenSSL to correct this. This patch is
modified by ISC to provide new features such as PIN management and
key-by-reference.
</p>
+<p>
There are two "flavors" of PKCS#11 support provided by
the patched OpenSSL, one of which must be chosen at
configuration time. The correct choice depends on the HSM
hardware:

cryptographic acceleration features, such as the SCA 6000
board. This causes OpenSSL to run all supported
cryptographic operations in the HSM.

other computationally-intensive operations. The AEP Keyper
is an example of such a device.

When building OpenSSL, place it in a non-standard
location so that it does not interfere with OpenSSL libraries
elsewhere on the system. In the following examples, we choose
to install into "/opt/pkcs11/usr". We will use this location
when we configure BIND 9.
</p>
+<p>
Later, when building BIND 9, the location of the custom-built
OpenSSL library will need to be specified via configure.

The AEP Keyper is a highly secure key storage device,
but does not provide hardware cryptographic acceleration. It
can carry out cryptographic operations, but it is probably
slower than your system's CPU. Therefore, we choose the
'sign-only' flavor when building OpenSSL.
</p>
+<p>
The Keyper-specific PKCS#11 provider library is
delivered with the Keyper software. In this example, we place
it /opt/pkcs11/usr/lib:
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>cp pkcs11.GCC4.0.2.so.4.05 /opt/pkcs11/usr/lib/libpkcs11.so</code></strong>
</pre>
+<p>
This library is only available for Linux as a 32-bit
binary. If we are compiling on a 64-bit Linux system, it is
necessary to force a 32-bit build, by specifying -m32 in the
build options.
</p>
+<p>
Finally, the Keyper library requires threads, so we
must specify -pthread.
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>cd openssl-0.9.8zc</code></strong>
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>./Configure linux-generic32 -m32 -pthread \
--pk11-libname=/opt/pkcs11/usr/lib/libpkcs11.so \
--pk11-flavor=sign-only \
--prefix=/opt/pkcs11/usr</code></strong>
</pre>
+<p>
After configuring, run "<span class="command"><strong>make</strong></span>"
and "<span class="command"><strong>make test</strong></span>". If "<span class="command"><strong>make
test</strong></span>" fails with "pthread_atfork() not found", you forgot to
add the -pthread above.

which provides a
less secure than a true HSM, it can allow you to experiment
with PKCS#11 when an HSM is not available.
</p>
+<p>
The SoftHSM cryptographic store must be installed and
initialized before using it with OpenSSL, and the SOFTHSM_CONF
environment variable must always point to the SoftHSM configuration
file:
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code> cd softhsm-1.3.7 </code></strong>
$ <strong class="userinput"><code> configure --prefix=/opt/pkcs11/usr </code></strong>

$ <strong class="userinput"><code> /opt/pkcs11/usr/bin/softhsm --init-token 0 --slot 0 --label softhsm </code></strong>
</pre>
+<p>
SoftHSM can perform all cryptographic operations, but
since it only uses your system CPU, there is no advantage to using
it for anything but signing. Therefore, we choose the 'sign-only'
flavor when building OpenSSL.
</p>
+<pre class="screen">

Once you have built OpenSSL, run

+<p>
For OpenSSL-based PKCS#11, we must first set up the runtime
environment so the OpenSSL and PKCS#11 libraries can be loaded:
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/pkcs11/usr/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}</code></strong>
</pre>
+<p>
This causes <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> and other binaries to load
the OpenSSL library from <code class="filename">/opt/pkcs11/usr/lib</code>
rather than from the default location. This step is not necessary
when using native PKCS#11.
</p>
+<p>
Some HSMs require other environment variables to be set.
For example, when operating an AEP Keyper, it is necessary to
specify the location of the "machine" file, which stores
<code class="filename">/opt/Keyper/PKCS11Provider/machine</code>,
use:
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>export KEYPER_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Keyper/PKCS11Provider</code></strong>
</pre>
+<p>
Such environment variables must be set whenever running
any tool that uses the HSM, including
<span class="command"><strong>pkcs11-keygen</strong></span>,
<span class="command"><strong>dnssec-keygen</strong></span>, and
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>.
</p>
+<p>
We can now create and use keys in the HSM. In this case,
we will create a 2048 bit key and give it the label
"sample-ksk":
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>pkcs11-keygen -b 2048 -l sample-ksk</code></strong>
</pre>
-
<p>To confirm that the key exists:</p>
+<p>To confirm that the key exists:</p>

object[1]: handle 2147483657 class 2 label[8] 'sample-ksk' id[0]
</pre>
+<p>
Before using this key to sign a zone, we must create a
pair of BIND 9 key files. The "dnssec-keyfromlabel" utility
does this. In this case, we will be using the HSM key
"sample-ksk" as the key-signing key for "example.net":
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-keyfromlabel -l sample-ksk -f KSK example.net</code></strong>
</pre>
+<p>
The resulting K*.key and K*.private files can now be used
to sign the zone. Unlike normal K* files, which contain both
public and private key data, these files will contain only the
remains stored within the HSM. Signing with the private key takes
place inside the HSM.
</p>
+<p>
If you wish to generate a second key in the HSM for use
as a zone-signing key, follow the same procedure above, using a
different keylabel, a smaller key size, and omitting "-f KSK"
from the dnssec-keyfromlabel arguments:
</p>
+<p>
(Note: When using OpenSSL-based PKCS#11 the label is an arbitrary
string which identifies the key. With native PKCS#11, the label is
a PKCS#11 URI string which may include other details about the key
and the HSM, including its PIN. See
<a class="xref" href="man.dnssec-keyfromlabel.html" title="dnssec-keyfromlabel"><span class="refentrytitle"><span class="application">dnssec-keyfromlabel</span></span>(8)</a> for details.)
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>pkcs11-keygen -b 1024 -l sample-zsk</code></strong>
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-keyfromlabel -l sample-zsk example.net</code></strong>
</pre>
+<p>
Alternatively, you may prefer to generate a conventional
on-disk key, using dnssec-keygen:
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
$ <strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-keygen example.net</code></strong>
</pre>
+<p>
This provides less security than an HSM key, but since
HSMs can be slow or cumbersome to use for security reasons, it
may be more efficient to reserve HSM keys for use in the less
there is no speed advantage to using on-disk keys, as cryptographic
operations will be done by the HSM regardless.)
</p>
+<p>
Now you can sign the zone. (Note: If not using the -S
option to <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-signzone</strong></span>, it will be
necessary to add the contents of both <code class="filename">K*.key</code>
files to the zone master file before signing it.)
</p>

In native PKCS#11 mode, the PIN can be provided in a file specified
as an attribute of the key's label. For example, if a key had the label

+<p>
DLZ (Dynamically Loadable Zones) is an extension to BIND 9 that allows
zone data to be retrieved directly from an external database. There is
no required format or schema. DLZ drivers exist for several different
database backends including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and LDAP and can be
written for any other.
</p>
+<p>
Historically, DLZ drivers had to be statically linked with the <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>
binary and were turned on via a configure option at compile time (for
example, <strong class="userinput"><code>"configure --with-dlz-ldap"</code></strong>).
<code class="filename">contrib/dlz/drivers</code> are still linked this
way.
</p>
+<p>
In BIND 9.8 and higher, it is possible to link some DLZ modules
dynamically at runtime, via the DLZ "dlopen" driver, which acts as a
generic wrapper around a shared object implementing the DLZ API. The
but are still needed for the older drivers in
<code class="filename">contrib/dlz/drivers</code>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When the DLZ module provides data to <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>, it does so in text format.
The response is converted to DNS wire format by <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>. This
conversion, and the lack of any internal caching, places significant
DNS notify; slaves are not automatically informed of changes to the
zones in the database.)

A DLZ database is configured with a <span class="command"><strong>dlz</strong></span>
statement in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>:
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
dlz example {
database "dlopen driver.so <code class="option">args</code>";
search yes;
};
</pre>
+<p>
This specifies a DLZ module to search when answering queries; the
module is implemented in <code class="filename">driver.so</code> and is
loaded at runtime by the dlopen DLZ driver. Multiple
they contain an answer for the query name; the best available
answer will be returned to the client.
</p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">search</code> option in the above example can be
omitted, because <code class="literal">yes</code> is the default value.
</p>
+<p>
If <code class="option">search</code> is set to <code class="literal">no</code>, then
this DLZ module is <span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> searched for the best
match when a query is received. Instead, zones in this DLZ must be
zone's data. For example, to implement NXDOMAIN redirection using
a DLZ module for back-end storage of redirection rules:

dlz other {
database "dlopen driver.so <code class="option">args</code>";
search no;

+<p>
For guidance in implementation of DLZ modules, the directory
<code class="filename">contrib/dlz/example</code> contains a basic
dynamically-linkable DLZ module--i.e., one which can be
to the module as an argument in the <span class="command"><strong>dlz</strong></span>
statement:
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
dlz other {
database "dlopen driver.so example.nil";
};
</pre>
+<p>
In the above example, the module is configured to create a zone
"example.nil", which can answer queries and AXFR requests, and
accept DDNS updates. At runtime, prior to any updates, the zone
contains an SOA, NS, and a single A record at the apex:
</p>
+<pre class="screen">
example.nil. 3600 IN SOA example.nil. hostmaster.example.nil. (
123 900 600 86400 3600
)
example.nil. 3600 IN NS example.nil.
example.nil. 1800 IN A 10.53.0.1
</pre>
+<p>
The sample driver is capable of retrieving information about the
querying client, and altering its response on the basis of this
information. To demonstrate this feature, the example driver
e.g., by providing different address records for a particular name
depending on the network from which the query arrived.
</p>
+<p>
Documentation of the DLZ module API can be found in
<code class="filename">contrib/dlz/example/README</code>. This directory also
contains the header file <code class="filename">dlz_minimal.h</code>, which
defines the API and should be included by any dynamically-linkable
DLZ module.

Traditionally applications have been linked with a stub resolver
library that sends recursive DNS queries to a local caching name
server.
</p>
+<p>
IPv6 once introduced new complexity into the resolution process,
such as following A6 chains and DNAME records, and simultaneous
lookup of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Though most of the complexity was
then removed, these are hard or impossible
to implement in a traditional stub resolver.
</p>
+<p>
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 therefore can also provide resolution
services to local clients
using a combination of a lightweight resolver library and a resolver

Address match lists are primarily used to determine access
control for various server operations. They are also used in
the <span class="command"><strong>listen-on</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>sortlist</strong></span>
statements. The elements which constitute an address match
list can be any of the following:
</p>
- <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
-<li class="listitem">
- an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)
- </li>
-<li class="listitem">
- an IP prefix (in `/' notation)
- </li>
+<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
+<li class="listitem">an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)</li>
+<li class="listitem">an IP prefix (in `/' notation)</li>
<li class="listitem">
-
a key ID, as defined by the <span class="command"><strong>key</strong></span>
statement
-
- </li>
-<li class="listitem">
- the name of an address match list defined with
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">the name of an address match list defined with

-
- </li>
-<li class="listitem">
- a nested address match list enclosed in braces
- </li>
+ </li>
+<li class="listitem">a nested address match list enclosed in braces</li>
</ul></div>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Elements can be negated with a leading exclamation mark (`!'),
and the match list names "any", "none", "localhost", and
"localnets" are predefined. More information on those names
can be found in the description of the acl statement.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The addition of the key clause made the name of this syntactic
element something of a misnomer, since security keys can be used
to validate access without regard to a host or network address.
Nonetheless, the term "address match list" is still used
throughout the documentation.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When a given IP address or prefix is compared to an address
match list, the comparison takes place in approximately O(1)
time. However, key comparisons require that the list of keys
be traversed until a matching key is found, and therefore may
be somewhat slower.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The interpretation of a match depends on whether the list is being
used for access control, defining <span class="command"><strong>listen-on</strong></span> ports, or in a
<span class="command"><strong>sortlist</strong></span>, and whether the element was negated.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When used as an access control list, a non-negated match
allows access and a negated match denies access. If
there is no match, access is denied. The clauses
server to refuse queries on any of the machine's
addresses which do not match the list.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Order of insertion is significant. If more than one element
in an ACL is found to match a given IP address or prefix,
preference will be given to the one that came
that problem by having 1.2.3.13 blocked by the negation, but
all other 1.2.3.* hosts fall through.

The <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 comment syntax allows for
comments to appear
anywhere that whitespace may appear in a <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> configuration
file. To appeal to programmers of all kinds, they can be written
in the C, C++, or shell/perl style.

+<p>
Comments may appear anywhere that whitespace may appear in
a <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> configuration file.
</p>
+<p>
C-style comments start with the two characters /* (slash,
star) and end with */ (star, slash). Because they are completely
delimited with these characters, they can be used to comment only
a portion of a line or to span multiple lines.
</p>
+<p>
C-style comments cannot be nested. For example, the following
is not valid because the entire comment ends with the first */:
</p>
+<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">/* This is the start of a comment.
<p>
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
C++-style comments start with the two characters // (slash,
slash) and continue to the end of the physical line. They cannot
be continued across multiple physical lines; to have one logical
comment span multiple lines, each line must use the // pair.
For example:
</p>
+<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">// This is the start of a comment. The next line
<p>
</p>
+<p>
Shell-style (or perl-style, if you prefer) comments start
with the character <code class="literal">#</code> (number sign)
and continue to the end of the
physical line, as in C++ comments.
For example:
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"># This is the start of a comment. The next line
<p>
</p>
-
- <div class="warning" title="Warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
+<div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Warning</h3>
+<p>
You cannot use the semicolon (`;') character
to start a comment such as you would in a zone file. The
semicolon indicates the end of a configuration
statement.

The <span class="command"><strong>controls</strong></span> statement declares control
channels to be used by system administrators to control the
operation of the name server. These control channels are
used by the <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> utility to send
commands to and retrieve non-DNS results from a name server.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
An <span class="command"><strong>inet</strong></span> control channel is a TCP socket
listening at the specified <span class="command"><strong>ip_port</strong></span> on the
specified <span class="command"><strong>ip_addr</strong></span>, which can be an IPv4 or IPv6
using the loopback address (<code class="literal">127.0.0.1</code>
or <code class="literal">::1</code>) is recommended for maximum security.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
If no port is specified, port 953 is used. The asterisk
"<code class="literal">*</code>" cannot be used for <span class="command"><strong>ip_port</strong></span>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The ability to issue commands over the control channel is
restricted by the <span class="command"><strong>allow</strong></span> and
<span class="command"><strong>keys</strong></span> clauses.
elements of the <span class="command"><strong>address_match_list</strong></span>
are ignored.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
A <span class="command"><strong>unix</strong></span> control channel is a UNIX domain
socket listening at the specified path in the file system.
Access to the socket is specified by the <span class="command"><strong>perm</strong></span>,
(<span class="command"><strong>perm</strong></span>) are applied to the parent directory
as the permissions on the socket itself are ignored.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The primary authorization mechanism of the command
channel is the <span class="command"><strong>key_list</strong></span>, which
contains a list of <span class="command"><strong>key_id</strong></span>s.
See <a class="xref" href="Bv9ARM.ch03.html#rndc">Remote Name Daemon Control application</a> in <a class="xref" href="Bv9ARM.ch03.html#admin_tools" title="Administrative Tools">the section called “Administrative Tools”</a>)

+<p>
If no <span class="command"><strong>controls</strong></span> statement is present,
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> will set up a default
control channel listening on the loopback address 127.0.0.1
To create a <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> file, run
<strong class="userinput"><code>rndc-confgen -a</code></strong>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> feature was created to
ease the transition of systems from <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8,
which did not have digital signatures on its command channel
command <strong class="userinput"><code>rndc-confgen -a</code></strong> after BIND 9 is
installed.

to select how various classes of messages are logged.
</p>
+<p>
Only one <span class="command"><strong>logging</strong></span> statement is used to
define
as many channels and categories as are wanted. If there is no <span class="command"><strong>logging</strong></span> statement,
the logging configuration will be:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">logging {

If <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> is started with the

All log output goes to one or more <span class="emphasis"><em>channels</em></span>;
you can make as many of them as you want.

Every channel definition must include a destination clause that
says whether messages selected for the channel go to a file, to a
particular syslog facility, to the standard error stream, or are
category name
and/or severity level (the default is not to include any).
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <span class="command"><strong>null</strong></span> destination clause
causes all messages sent to the channel to be discarded;
in that case, other options for the channel are meaningless.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <span class="command"><strong>file</strong></span> destination clause directs
the channel
to a disk file. It can include limitations

of the file will be saved each time the file is opened.

</p>
-

The <span class="command"><strong>size</strong></span> option for files is used
to limit log
growth. If the file ever exceeds the size, then <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> will

</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Example usage of the <span class="command"><strong>size</strong></span> and
<span class="command"><strong>versions</strong></span> options:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">channel an_example_channel {
file "example.log" versions 3 size 20m;

</p>
+<p>
If you are using <span class="command"><strong>syslog</strong></span>, then the <span class="command"><strong>syslog.conf</strong></span> priorities
will also determine what eventually passes through. For example,
defining a channel facility and severity as <span class="command"><strong>daemon</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>debug</strong></span> but
then <span class="command"><strong>syslogd</strong></span> would
print all messages it received from the channel.
</p>

The <span class="command"><strong>stderr</strong></span> destination clause
directs the
channel to the server's standard error stream. This is intended
example
when debugging a configuration.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The server can supply extensive debugging information when
it is in debugging mode. If the server's global debug level is
greater
level, and higher debug levels give more detailed output. Channels
that specify a specific debug severity, for example:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">channel specific_debug_level {
file "foo";
severity debug 3;
};
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
will get debugging output of level 3 or less any time the
server is in debugging mode, regardless of the global debugging
level. Channels with <span class="command"><strong>dynamic</strong></span>
severity use the
server's global debug level to determine what messages to print.
</p>
+<p>
If <span class="command"><strong>print-time</strong></span> has been turned on,
then
the date and time will be logged. <span class="command"><strong>print-time</strong></span> may
three <span class="command"><strong>print-</strong></span> options
are on:

+<p>
<code class="computeroutput">28-Feb-2000 15:05:32.863 general: notice: running</code>
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
If <span class="command"><strong>buffered</strong></span> has been turned on the output
to files will not be flushed after each log entry. By default
all log messages are flushed.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
There are four predefined channels that are used for
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>'s default logging as follows.
If <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> is started with the
How they are
used is described in <a class="xref" href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#the_category_phrase" title="The category Phrase">the section called “The <span class="command"><strong>category</strong></span> Phrase”</a>.
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">channel default_syslog {
// send to syslog's daemon facility
syslog daemon;
severity dynamic;
};
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <span class="command"><strong>default_debug</strong></span> channel has the
special
property that it only produces output when the server's debug
nonzero. It normally writes to a file called <code class="filename">named.run</code>
in the server's working directory.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
For security reasons, when the <code class="option">-u</code>
command line option is used, the <code class="filename">named.run</code> file
is created only after <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> has
option to specify a default logfile, or the <code class="option">-g</code>
option to log to standard error which you can redirect to a file.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Once a channel is defined, it cannot be redefined. Thus you
cannot alter the built-in channels directly, but you can modify
the default logging by pointing categories at channels you have
defined.

+<p>
There are many categories, so you can send the logs you want
to see wherever you want, without seeing logs you don't want. If
you don't specify a list of channels for a category, then log
instead. If you don't specify a default category, the following
"default default" is used:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">category default { default_syslog; default_debug; };
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
If you start <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> with the
<code class="option">-L</code> option then the default category is:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">category default { default_logfile; default_debug; };
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
As an example, let's say you want to log security events to
a file, but you also want keep the default logging behavior. You'd
specify the following:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">channel my_security_channel {
file "my_security_file";
severity info;
default_syslog;
default_debug;
};</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
To discard all messages in a category, specify the <span class="command"><strong>null</strong></span> channel:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">category xfer-out { null; };
category notify { null; };
</pre>
-
- <p>

Following are the available categories and brief descriptions
of the types of log information they contain. More

The <em class="replaceable"><code>cache_name</code></em> specifies
the cache to be shared.
When the <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> server configures
The rest of the views will simply refer to the
already created cache.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
One common configuration to share a cache would be to
allow all views to share a single cache.
This can be done by specifying
the <span class="command"><strong>attach-cache</strong></span> as a global
option with an arbitrary name.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Another possible operation is to allow a subset of
all views to share a cache while the others to
retain their own caches.
<span class="command"><strong>attach-cache</strong></span> option as a view A (or
B)'s option, referring to the other view name:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">
view "A" {
// this view has its own cache
...
};
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Views that share a cache must have the same policy
on configurable parameters that may affect caching.
The current implementation requires the following
<span class="command"><strong>max-cache-size</strong></span>, and
<span class="command"><strong>zero-no-soa-ttl</strong></span>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Note that there may be other parameters that may
cause confusion if they are inconsistent for
different views that share a single cache.
configuration differences in different views do
not cause disruption with a shared cache.

uses
<span class="command"><strong>libfstrm</strong></span> (a lightweight high-speed

</p>
+<p>
To enable <span class="command"><strong>dnstap</strong></span> at compile time,
the <span class="command"><strong>fstrm</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>protobuf-c</strong></span>
libraries must be available, and BIND must be configured with
<code class="option">--enable-dnstap</code>.
</p>
+<p>
The <span class="command"><strong>dnstap</strong></span> option is a bracketed list
of message types to be logged. These may be set differently
for each view. Supported types are <code class="literal">client</code>,
<code class="literal">all</code> will cause all <span class="command"><strong>dnstap</strong></span>
messages to be logged, regardless of type.
</p>
+<p>
Each type may take an additional argument to indicate whether
to log <code class="literal">query</code> messages or
<code class="literal">response</code> messages; if not specified,
both queries and responses are logged.
</p>
+<p>
Example: To log all authoritative queries and responses,
recursive client responses, and upstream queries sent by
the resolver, use:
</pre>
<p>
</p>

Logged <span class="command"><strong>dnstap</strong></span> messages can be parsed

</p>

A negative trust anchor is normally used when a
domain has stopped validating due to operator error;
it temporarily disables DNSSEC validation for that
to find out whether it can now be validated. If so,
the negative trust anchor is allowed to expire early.

Validity checks can be disabled for an individual
NTA by using <span class="command"><strong>rndc nta -f</strong></span>, or
for all NTAs by setting <code class="option">nta-recheck</code>

For convenience, TTL-style time unit suffixes can be

If <strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong>,

This filtering applies to all responses and not only
authoritative responses.

If <strong class="userinput"><code>break-dnssec</code></strong>,
then AAAA records are deleted even when DNSSEC is enabled.
As suggested by the name, this makes the response not verify,
because the DNSSEC protocol is designed detect deletions.
</p>

This mechanism can erroneously cause other servers to
not give AAAA records to their clients.
A recursing server with both IPv6 and IPv4 network connections
via IPv4 will be denied AAAA records even if its client is
using IPv6.
</p>
+<p>
This mechanism is applied to authoritative as well as
non-authoritative records.
A client using IPv4 that is not allowed recursion can
erroneously be given AAAA records because the server is not
allowed to check for A records.

The interfaces and ports that the server will answer queries
from may be specified using the <span class="command"><strong>listen-on</strong></span> option. <span class="command"><strong>listen-on</strong></span> takes
an optional port and an <code class="varname">address_match_list</code>
The server will listen on all interfaces allowed by the address
match list. If a port is not specified, port 53 will be used.
</p>
+<p>
Multiple <span class="command"><strong>listen-on</strong></span> statements are
allowed.
For example,
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">listen-on { 5.6.7.8; };
listen-on port 1234 { !1.2.3.4; 1.2/16; };
</pre>
-
- <p>

will enable the name server on port 53 for the IP address
5.6.7.8, and on port 1234 of an address on the machine in net
1.2 that is not 1.2.3.4.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
If no <span class="command"><strong>listen-on</strong></span> is specified, the
server will listen on port 53 on all IPv4 interfaces.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <span class="command"><strong>listen-on-v6</strong></span> option is used to
specify the interfaces and the ports on which the server will
listen for incoming queries sent using IPv6. If not specified,
the server will listen on port 53 on all IPv6 interfaces.

For example,

listen-on-v6 port 1234 { !2001:db8::/32; any; };
</pre>

will enable the name server on port 53 for any IPv6 addresses
(with a single wildcard socket),
and on port 1234 of IPv6 addresses that is not in the prefix
2001:db8::/32 (with separate sockets for each matched address.)

The response to a DNS query may consist of multiple resource
records (RRs) forming a resource records set (RRset).
The name server will normally return the
in the server, based on the client's address. This only requires
configuring the name servers, not all the clients.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <span class="command"><strong>sortlist</strong></span> statement (see below)
takes
an <span class="command"><strong>address_match_list</strong></span> and
of each top level list is checked against the source address of
the query until a match is found.
</p>
+<p>
Once the source address of the query has been matched, if
the top level statement contains only one element, the actual
primitive
minimum
distance is moved to the beginning of the response.
</p>
+<p>
In the following example, any queries received from any of
the addresses of the host itself will get responses preferring
addresses
or the 192.168.5/24 network will only prefer other addresses on
their directly connected networks.
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">sortlist {
// IF the local host
// THEN first fit on the following nets
{ { 192.168.4/24; 192.168.5/24; };

to the behavior of the address sort in <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 4.9.x. Responses sent

+<p>
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 provides the ability to filter
out DNS responses from external DNS servers containing
certain types of data in the answer section.
<span class="command"><strong>deny-answer-aliases</strong></span>,
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">www.example.com. CNAME xxx.example.com.</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
returned by an "example.com" server will be accepted.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
In the <code class="varname">address_match_list</code> of the
<span class="command"><strong>deny-answer-addresses</strong></span> option, only
<code class="varname">ip_addr</code>
are meaningful;
any <code class="varname">key_id</code> will be silently ignored.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
If a response message is rejected due to the filtering,
the entire message is discarded without being cached, and
a SERVFAIL error will be returned to the client.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
This filtering is intended to prevent "DNS rebinding attacks," in
which an attacker, in response to a query for a domain name the
attacker controls, returns an IP address within your own network or
to get access to an internal node of your local network
that couldn't be externally accessed otherwise.
See the paper available at
- <a class="ulink" href="http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1315245.1315298" target="_top">

http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1315245.1315298
</a>
for more details about the attacks.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
For example, if you own a domain named "example.net" and
your internal network uses an IPv4 prefix 192.0.2.0/24,
you might specify the following rules:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">deny-answer-addresses { 192.0.2.0/24; } except-from { "example.net"; };
deny-answer-aliases { "example.net"; };
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
If an external attacker lets a web browser in your local
network look up an IPv4 address of "attacker.example.com",
the attacker's DNS server would return a response like this:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">attacker.example.com. A 192.0.2.1</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
in the answer section.
Since the rdata of this record (the IPv4 address) matches
the specified prefix 192.0.2.0/24, this response will be
ignored.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
On the other hand, if the browser looks up a legitimate
internal web server "www.example.net" and the
following response is returned to
the <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 server
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">www.example.net. A 192.0.2.2</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
it will be accepted since the owner name "www.example.net"
matches the <span class="command"><strong>except-from</strong></span> element,
"example.net".
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Note that this is not really an attack on the DNS per se.
In fact, there is nothing wrong for an "external" name to
be mapped to your "internal" IP address or domain name
very sure you have no other choice and the attack is a
real threat for your applications.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Care should be particularly taken if you want to use this
option for addresses within 127.0.0.0/8.
These addresses are obviously "internal", but many
Filtering out DNS records containing this address
spuriously can break such applications.

Legitimate clients react to dropped or truncated response

This mechanism is intended for authoritative DNS servers.
It can be used on recursive servers but can slow
applications such as SMTP servers (mail receivers) and
same domains.
When possible, closing "open" recursive servers is better.

Response rate limiting uses a "credit" or "token bucket" scheme.
Each combination of identical response and client
has a conceptual account that earns a specified number
When the specified number of credits for a class of
responses is set to 0, those responses are not rate limited.

The notions of "identical response" and "DNS client"
for rate limiting are not simplistic.
All responses to an address block are counted as if to a

the effectiveness of rate-limiting against reflection attacks.)

When the approximate query per second rate exceeds
the <span class="command"><strong>qps-scale</strong></span> value,
then the <span class="command"><strong>responses-per-second</strong></span>,
Responses sent via TCP are not limited
but are counted to compute the query per second rate.

The optional <span class="command"><strong>domain</strong></span> clause specifies
the namespace to which rate limits will apply. It
is possible to use different rate limits for different names

name will be the one applied to a given query.
</p>

- <p>
+<p>
Rate limiters for different name spaces maintain
separate counters: If, for example, there is a
<span class="command"><strong>rate-limit</strong></span> statement for "com" and
another for "example.com", queries matching "example.com"
will not be debited against the rate limiter for "com".
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
If a <span class="command"><strong>rate-limit</strong></span> statement does not specify a
<span class="command"><strong>domain</strong></span>, then it applies to the root domain

portions covered by other <span class="command"><strong>rate-limit</strong></span>
statements.

The <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> statement defines
DNSSEC security roots. DNSSEC is described in <a class="xref" href="Bv9ARM.ch04.html#DNSSEC" title="DNSSEC">the section called “DNSSEC”</a>. A security root is defined when the
public key for a non-authoritative zone is known, but
proven secure. The resolver attempts DNSSEC validation
on all DNS data in subdomains of a security root.
</p>
+<p>
All keys (and corresponding zones) listed in
<span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> are deemed to exist regardless
of what parent zones say. Similarly for all keys listed in
used to validate the DNSKEY RRset. The parent's DS RRset
will not be used.
</p>
+<p>
The <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> statement can contain
multiple key entries, each consisting of the key's
domain name, flags, protocol, algorithm, and the Base-64
in the key data, so the configuration may be split up into
multiple lines.
</p>
+<p>
<span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> may be set at the top level
of <code class="filename">named.conf</code> or within a view. If it is
set in both places, they are additive: keys defined at the top
level are inherited by all views, but keys defined in a view
are only used within that view.
</p>

Validation below specified names can be temporarily disabled
by using <span class="command"><strong>rndc nta</strong></span>.

The <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span> statement, like
<span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span>, defines DNSSEC
security roots. The difference is that
automatically, without intervention from the resolver
operator.
</p>
+<p>
Suppose, for example, that a zone's key-signing
key was compromised, and the zone owner had to revoke and
replace the key. A resolver which had the old key in a
continue until the resolver operator had updated the
<span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> statement with the new key.
</p>
+<p>
If, however, the zone were listed in a
<span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span> statement instead, then the
zone owner could add a "stand-by" key to the zone in advance.
using that key to validate answers, minimizing the damage that
the compromised key could do.
</p>
+<p>
A <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span> statement contains a list of
the keys to be managed, along with information about how the
keys are to be initialized for the first time. The only
allow keys to be initialized by other methods, eliminating this
requirement.)
</p>
+<p>
Consequently, a <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span> statement
appears similar to a <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span>, differing
in the presence of the second field, containing the keyword
managed key database and start the RFC 5011 key maintenance
process.
</p>
+<p>
The first time <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> runs with a managed key
configured in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>, it fetches the
DNSKEY RRset directly from the zone apex, and validates it
statement. If the DNSKEY RRset is validly signed, then it is
used as the basis for a new managed keys database.
</p>
+<p>
From that point on, whenever <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> runs, it
sees the <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span> statement, checks to
make sure RFC 5011 key maintenance has already been initialized
used to validate answers; it has been superseded by the key or
keys stored in the managed keys database.
</p>
+<p>
The next time <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> runs after a name
has been <span class="emphasis"><em>removed</em></span> from the
<span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span> statement, the corresponding
and RFC 5011 key maintenance will no longer be used for that
domain.
</p>
+<p>
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> only maintains a single managed keys
database; consequently, unlike <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span>,
<span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span> may only be set at the top
level of <code class="filename">named.conf</code>, not within a view.
</p>
+<p>
In the current implementation, the managed keys database is
stored as a master-format zone file called
<code class="filename">managed-keys.bind</code>. When the key database
the working directory should be always be writable by
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>.)
</p>
+<p>
If the <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-validation</strong></span> option is
set to <strong class="userinput"><code>auto</code></strong>, <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>
will automatically initialize a managed key for the

The <span class="command"><strong>view</strong></span> statement is a powerful
feature
of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 that lets a name server
implementing
split DNS setups without having to run multiple servers.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Each <span class="command"><strong>view</strong></span> statement defines a view
of the
DNS namespace that will be seen by a subset of clients. A client
a client request will be resolved in the context of the first
<span class="command"><strong>view</strong></span> that it matches.

"internal"
and "external" clients in a split DNS setup.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Many of the options given in the <span class="command"><strong>options</strong></span> statement
can also be used within a <span class="command"><strong>view</strong></span>
statement, and then
view-specific defaults
take precedence over those in the <span class="command"><strong>options</strong></span> statement.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Views are class specific. If no class is given, class IN
is assumed. Note that all non-IN views must contain a hint zone,
since only the IN class has compiled-in default hints.
</p>

- <p>
+<p>
If there are no <span class="command"><strong>view</strong></span> statements in
the config
file, a default view that matches any client is automatically

+<p><acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 supports two alternative
methods of granting clients the right to perform
dynamic updates to a zone, configured by the
<span class="command"><strong>allow-update</strong></span> and
<span class="command"><strong>update-policy</strong></span> option, respectively.
</p>
+<p>
The <span class="command"><strong>allow-update</strong></span> clause works the
same way as in previous versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>.
It grants given clients the permission to update any
record of any name in the zone.
</p>
+<p>
The <span class="command"><strong>update-policy</strong></span> clause
allows more fine-grained control over what updates are
allowed. A set of rules is specified, where each rule
it includes either a TSIG or SIG(0) record), the
identity of the signer can be determined.
</p>
+<p>
Rules are specified in the <span class="command"><strong>update-policy</strong></span>
zone option, and are only meaningful for master zones.
When the <span class="command"><strong>update-policy</strong></span> statement
only examines the signer of a message; the source
address is not relevant.
</p>
+<p>
There is a pre-defined <span class="command"><strong>update-policy</strong></span>
rule which can be switched on with the command
<span class="command"><strong>update-policy local;</strong></span>.
<span class="command"><strong>session-keyname</strong></span> and
<span class="command"><strong>session-keyalg</strong></span> options, respectively).
</p>
+<p>
A client running on the local system, and with appropriate
permissions, may read that file and use the key to sign update
requests. The zone's update policy will be set to allow that
key to change any record within the zone. Assuming the
key name is "local-ddns", this policy is equivalent to:
</p>
-
- <pre class="programlisting">update-policy { grant local-ddns zonesub any; };
+<pre class="programlisting">update-policy { grant local-ddns zonesub any; };
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The command <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate -l</strong></span> sends update
requests to localhost, and signs them using the session key.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Other rule definitions look like this:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">
( <span class="command"><strong>grant</strong></span> | <span class="command"><strong>deny</strong></span> ) <em class="replaceable"><code>identity</code></em> <em class="replaceable"><code>nametype</code></em> [<span class="optional"> <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> </span>] [<span class="optional"> <em class="replaceable"><code>types</code></em> </span>]
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Each rule grants or denies privileges. Once a message has
successfully matched a rule, the operation is immediately
granted or denied and no further rules are examined. A rule

field.
</p>
+<p>
No signer is required for <em class="replaceable"><code>tcp-self</code></em>
or <em class="replaceable"><code>6to4-self</code></em> however the standard
reverse mapping / prefix conversion must match the identity
field.
</p>
+<p>
The identity field specifies a name or a wildcard
name. Normally, this is the name of the TSIG or
SIG(0) key used to sign the update request. When a
The <em class="replaceable"><code>identity</code></em> field must
contain a fully-qualified domain name.

and <code class="varname">ms-subdomain</code> the
<em class="replaceable"><code>identity</code></em> field specifies
the Windows or Kerberos realm of the machine belongs to.
</p>
+<p>
The <em class="replaceable"><code>nametype</code></em> field has 13
values:

+<p>
When multiple views are in use, a zone may be
referenced by more than one of them. Often, the views
will contain different zones with the same name, allowing
way to do this: it allows a view to reference a zone that
was defined in a previously configured view. Example:

that is configured later in the configuration file.
</p>

options with the exception of <span class="command"><strong>forward</strong></span>
the behavior of the containing view, rather than changing
the zone object itself.)
</p>
+<p>
Zone level acls (e.g. allow-query, allow-transfer) and
other configuration details of the zone are all set
in the view the referenced zone is defined in. Care
need to be taken to ensure that acls are wide enough
for all views referencing the zone.

An <span class="command"><strong>in-view</strong></span> zone cannot be used as a
response policy zone.
</p>

An <span class="command"><strong>in-view</strong></span> zone is not intended to reference

A domain name identifies a node. Each node has a set of
resource information, which may be empty. The set of resource
information associated with a particular name is composed of
permitted for optimization purposes, for example, to specify
that a particular nearby server be tried first. See <a class="xref" href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#the_sortlist_statement" title="The sortlist Statement">the section called “The <span class="command"><strong>sortlist</strong></span> Statement”</a> and <a class="xref" href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#rrset_ordering" title="RRset Ordering">the section called “RRset Ordering”</a>.

The owner name is often implicit, rather than forming an
integral
part of the RR. For example, many name servers internally form
that
fits the needs of the resource being described.
</p>
+<p>
The meaning of the TTL field is a time limit on how long an
RR can be kept in a cache. This limit does not apply to
authoritative
following
the change.
</p>
+<p>
The data in the RDATA section of RRs is carried as a combination
of binary strings and domain names. The domain names are
frequently
used as "pointers" to other data in the DNS.

RRs are represented in binary form in the packets of the DNS
protocol, and are usually represented in highly encoded form
when
possible
using parentheses.
</p>
+<p>
The start of the line gives the owner of the RR. If a line
begins with a blank, then the owner is assumed to be the same as
that of the previous RR. Blank lines are often included for
readability.
</p>
+<p>
Following the owner, we list the TTL, type, and class of the
RR. Class and type use the mnemonics defined above, and TTL is
an integer before the type field. In order to avoid ambiguity
values
are often omitted from examples in the interests of clarity.
</p>
+<p>
The resource data or RDATA section of the RR are given using
knowledge of the typical representation for the data.
</p>
+<p>
For example, we might show the RRs carried in a message as:
</p>
- <div class="informaltable">
-<table border="1">
+<div class="informaltable"><table border="1">

The MX RRs have an RDATA section which consists of a 16-bit
number followed by a domain name. The address RRs use a
standard
IP address format to contain a 32-bit internet address.
</p>
+<p>
The above example shows six RRs, with two RRs at each of three
domain names.
</p>
+<p>
Similarly we might see:

As described above, domain servers store information as a
series of resource records, each of which contains a particular
piece of information about a given domain name (which is usually,

MX records are used to control delivery of email. The data
specified in the record is a priority and a domain name. The
priority

In addition to the standard textual format, BIND 9
supports the ability to read or dump to zone files in
other formats.
</p>
+<p>
The <code class="constant">raw</code> format is
a binary representation of zone data in a manner similar
to that used in zone transfers. Since it does not require
parsing text, load time is significantly reduced.
</p>
+<p>
An even faster alternative is the <code class="constant">map</code>
format, which is an image of a <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9
in-memory zone database; it is capable of being loaded
function; the zone can begin serving queries almost
immediately.
</p>

For a primary server, a zone file in
<code class="constant">raw</code> or <code class="constant">map</code>
format is expected to be generated from a textual zone
<span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> dumps the zone contents after
zone transfer or when applying prior updates.
</p>
+<p>
If a zone file in a binary format needs manual modification,
it first must be converted to a textual form by the
<span class="command"><strong>named-compilezone</strong></span> command. All
should then be converted to the binary form by the
<span class="command"><strong>named-compilezone</strong></span> command again.
</p>

Note that <span class="command"><strong>map</strong></span> format is extremely
architecture-specific. A <code class="constant">map</code>
file <span class="emphasis"><em>cannot</em></span> be used on a system
portable backup of such a file, conversion to

+<p>
Access Control Lists (ACLs) are address match lists that
you can set up and nickname for future use in
<span class="command"><strong>allow-notify</strong></span>, <span class="command"><strong>allow-query</strong></span>,
<span class="command"><strong>blackhole</strong></span>, <span class="command"><strong>allow-transfer</strong></span>,
<span class="command"><strong>match-clients</strong></span>, etc.
</p>
+<p>
Using ACLs allows you to have finer control over who can access
your name server, without cluttering up your config files with huge
lists of IP addresses.
</p>
+<p>
It is a <span class="emphasis"><em>good idea</em></span> to use ACLs, and to
control access to your server. Limiting access to your server by
outside parties can help prevent spoofing and denial of service
(DoS) attacks against your server.
</p>
+<p>
ACLs match clients on the basis of up to three characteristics:
1) The client's IP address; 2) the TSIG or SIG(0) key that was
used to sign the request, if any; and 3) an address prefix
encoded in an EDNS Client Subnet option, if any.
</p>
+<p>
Here is an example of ACLs based on client addresses:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">
// Set up an ACL named "bogusnets" that will block
// RFC1918 space and some reserved space, which is
allow-query { any; };
};
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
This allows authoritative queries for "example.com" from any
address, but recursive queries only from the networks specified
in "our-nets", and no queries at all from the networks
specified in "bogusnets".
</p>
+<p>
In addition to network addresses and prefixes, which are
matched against the source address of the DNS request, ACLs
may include <code class="option">key</code> elements, which specify the
if that prefix matches an EDNS client subnet option included
in the request.
</p>
+<p>
The EDNS Client Subnet (ECS) option is used by a recursive
resolver to inform an authoritative name server of the network
address block from which the original query was received, enabling
in ACLs that are not prefixed with "ecs" are matched only
against the source address.
</p>
+<p>
When <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 is built with GeoIP support,
ACLs can also be used for geographic access restrictions.
This is done by specifying an ACL element of the form:
<span class="command"><strong>geoip [<span class="optional">db <em class="replaceable"><code>database</code></em></span>] <em class="replaceable"><code>field</code></em> <em class="replaceable"><code>value</code></em></strong></span>
</p>
+<p>
The <em class="replaceable"><code>field</code></em> indicates which field
to search for a match. Available fields are "country",
"region", "city", "continent", "postal" (postal code),
"metro" (metro code), "area" (area code), "tz" (timezone),
"isp", "org", "asnum", "domain" and "netspeed".
</p>
+<p>
<em class="replaceable"><code>value</code></em> is the value to search
for within the database. A string may be quoted if it
contains spaces or other special characters. If this is
standard two-letter state or province abbreviation;
otherwise it is the full name of the state or province.
</p>
+<p>
The <em class="replaceable"><code>database</code></em> field indicates which
GeoIP database to search for a match. In most cases this is
unnecessary, because most search fields can only be found in
database if it is installed, or the "region" database if it is
installed, or the "country" database, in that order.
</p>
+<p>
By default, if a DNS query includes an EDNS Client Subnet (ECS)
option which encodes a non-zero address prefix, then GeoIP ACLs
will be matched against that address prefix. Otherwise, they
prevent GeoIP ACLs from matching against ECS options, set
the <span class="command"><strong>geoip-use-ecs</strong></span> to <code class="literal">no</code>.
</p>
+<p>
Some example GeoIP ACLs:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">geoip country US;
+<pre class="programlisting">geoip country US;
geoip country JAP;
geoip db country country Canada;
geoip db region region WA;
geoip tz "America/Los_Angeles";
geoip org "Internet Systems Consortium";
</pre>
-
- <p>
+<p>
ACLs use a "first-match" logic rather than "best-match":
if an address prefix matches an ACL element, then that ACL
is considered to have matched even if a later element would
indicated that the query should be accepted, and the second
element is ignored.
</p>
+<p>
When using "nested" ACLs (that is, ACLs included or referenced
within other ACLs), a negative match of a nested ACL will
the containing ACL to continue looking for matches. This
it originates from a particular network <span class="emphasis"><em>and</em></span>
only when it is signed with a particular key, use:
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">
+<pre class="programlisting">
allow-query { !{ !10/8; any; }; key example; };
</pre>
+<p>
Within the nested ACL, any address that is
<span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> in the 10/8 network prefix will
be rejected, and this will terminate processing of the
will only matches when <span class="emphasis"><em>both</em></span> conditions
are true.

On UNIX servers, it is possible to run <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
in a <span class="emphasis"><em>chrooted</em></span> environment (using
the <span class="command"><strong>chroot()</strong></span> function) by specifying
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> in a "sandbox", which will limit
the damage done if a server is compromised.
</p>
+<p>
Another useful feature in the UNIX version of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> is the
ability to run the daemon as an unprivileged user ( <code class="option">-u</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>user</code></em> ).
We suggest running as an unprivileged user when using the <span class="command"><strong>chroot</strong></span> feature.
</p>
+<p>
Here is an example command line to load <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> in a <span class="command"><strong>chroot</strong></span> sandbox,
<span class="command"><strong>/var/named</strong></span>, and to run <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> <span class="command"><strong>setuid</strong></span> to
user 202:
</p>
+<p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>/usr/local/sbin/named -u 202 -t /var/named</code></strong>

Unlike with earlier versions of BIND, you typically will
<span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> need to compile <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>
statically nor install shared libraries under the new root.

use

+<p>
Access to the dynamic
update facility should be strictly limited. In earlier versions of
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>, the only way to do this was
forward it to the master with its own source IP address causing the
master to approve it without question.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
For these reasons, we strongly recommend that updates be
cryptographically authenticated by means of transaction signatures
(TSIG). That is, the <span class="command"><strong>allow-update</strong></span>
prefixes. Alternatively, the new <span class="command"><strong>update-policy</strong></span>
option can be used.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Some sites choose to keep all dynamically-updated DNS data
in a subdomain and delegate that subdomain to a separate zone. This
way, the top-level zone containing critical data such as the IP
of public web and mail servers need not allow dynamic update at
all.

The best solution to solving installation and
configuration issues is to take preventative measures by setting
up logging files beforehand. The log files provide a
source of hints and information that can be used to figure out
what went wrong and how to fix the problem.

Zone serial numbers are just numbers — they aren't
date related. A lot of people set them to a number that
represents a date, usually of the form YYYYMMDDRR.
lower than the serial number on the master, the slave
server will attempt to update its copy of the zone.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Setting the serial number to a lower number on the master
server than the slave server means that the slave will not perform
updates to its copy of the zone.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The solution to this is to add 2147483647 (2^31-1) to the
number, reload the zone and make sure all slaves have updated to
the new zone serial number, then reset the number to what you want
it to be, and reload the zone again.

Added support for DynDB, a new interface for loading zone data
from an external database, developed by Red Hat for the FreeIPA
project. (Thanks in particular to Adam Tkac and Petr
Spacek of Red Hat for the contribution.)
</p>
+<p>
Unlike the existing DLZ and SDB interfaces, which provide a
limited subset of database functionality within BIND —
translating DNS queries into real-time database lookups with
DNSSEC-signed data — DynDB is able to fully implement
and extend the database API used natively by BIND.
</p>
+<p>
A DynDB module could pre-load data from an external data
source, then serve it with the same performance and
functionality as conventional BIND zones, and with the
ability to take advantage of database features not
available in BIND, such as multi-master replication.

Although the "official" beginning of the Domain Name
System occurred in 1984 with the publication of RFC 920, the
core of the new system was described in 1983 in RFCs 882 and
became the standards upon which all <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> implementations are
built.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The first working domain name server, called "Jeeves", was
written in 1983-84 by Paul Mockapetris for operation on DEC
Tops-20
Administration
(DARPA).

Versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> through
4.8.3 were maintained by the Computer
Systems Research Group (CSRG) at UC Berkeley. Douglas Terry, Mark
Mike Muuss, Jim Bloom and Mike Schwartz. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> maintenance was subsequently
handled by Mike Karels and Øivind Kure.
</p>
+<p>
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> versions 4.9 and 4.9.1 were
released by Digital Equipment
Corporation (now Compaq Computer Corporation). Paul Vixie, then
Baran, Anant Kumar, Art Harkin, Win Treese, Don Lewis, Christophe
Wolfhugel, and others.
</p>
+<p>
In 1994, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> version 4.9.2 was sponsored by
Vixie Enterprises. Paul
Vixie became <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>'s principal
architect/programmer.
</p>
+<p>
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> versions from 4.9.3 onward
have been developed and maintained
by the Internet Systems Consortium and its predecessor,
the Internet Software Consortium, with support being provided
by ISC's sponsors.
</p>
+<p>
As co-architects/programmers, Bob Halley and
Paul Vixie released the first production-ready version of
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> version 8 in May 1997.
</p>
+<p>
BIND version 9 was released in September 2000 and is a
major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying
BIND architecture.
</p>
+<p>
BIND versions 4 and 8 are officially deprecated.
No additional development is done
on BIND version 4 or BIND version 8.
</p>
+<p>
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> development work is made
possible today by the sponsorship
of several corporations, and by the tireless work efforts of
numerous individuals.

+<p>
IPv6 addresses are 128-bit identifiers for interfaces and
sets of interfaces which were introduced in the <acronym class="acronym">DNS</acronym> to facilitate
scalable Internet routing. There are three types of addresses: <span class="emphasis"><em>Unicast</em></span>,
Unicast address scheme. For more information, see RFC 3587,
"Global Unicast Address Format."
</p>
+<p>
IPv6 unicast addresses consist of a
<span class="emphasis"><em>global routing prefix</em></span>, a
<span class="emphasis"><em>subnet identifier</em></span>, and an
<span class="emphasis"><em>interface identifier</em></span>.
</p>
+<p>
The global routing prefix is provided by the
upstream provider or ISP, and (roughly) corresponds to the
IPv4 <span class="emphasis"><em>network</em></span> section
interface on a given network; in IPv6, addresses belong to
interfaces rather than to machines.
</p>
+<p>
The subnetting capability of IPv6 is much more flexible than
that of IPv4: subnetting can be carried out on bit boundaries,
in much the same way as Classless InterDomain Routing
(CIDR), and the DNS PTR representation ("nibble" format)
makes setting up reverse zones easier.
</p>
+<p>
The Interface Identifier must be unique on the local link,
and is usually generated automatically by the IPv6
implementation, although it is usually possible to
address might look like:
<span class="command"><strong>2001:db8:201:9:a00:20ff:fe81:2b32</strong></span>
</p>
+<p>
IPv6 address specifications often contain long strings
of zeros, so the architects have included a shorthand for
specifying
string
of zeros that can fit, and can be used only once in an address.

part of BIND 9 can still be built with other types of make). In
the reminder of this document, "make" means GNU make. Note that

separate set of libraries under the lib/export directory. For
example, <code class="filename">lib/export/dns/libdns.a</code> is the archive file of the
export version of the BIND 9 DNS library. Sample application

+<p>
<span class="command"><strong>tsig-keygen</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>ddns-confgen</strong></span>
are invocation methods for a utility that generates keys for use
in TSIG signing. The resulting keys can be used, for example,
to secure dynamic DNS updates to a zone or for the
<span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> command channel.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When run as <span class="command"><strong>tsig-keygen</strong></span>, a domain name
can be specified on the command line which will be used as
the name of the generated key. If no name is specified,
the default is <code class="constant">tsig-key</code>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When run as <span class="command"><strong>ddns-confgen</strong></span>, the generated
key is accompanied by configuration text and instructions
that can be used with <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span> and
<span class="command"><strong>rndc-confgen</strong></span> command for setting
up command channel security.)
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Note that <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> itself can configure a
local DDNS key for use with <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate -l</strong></span>:
it does this when a zone is configured with
if <span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span> is to be used from a remote
system.

+<p><span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span>
(Domain Entity Lookup & Validation) is a tool for sending
DNS queries and validating the results, using the same internal
resolver and validator logic as <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>.
</p>
+<p>
<span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will send to a specified name server all
queries needed to fetch and validate the requested data; this
includes the original requested query, subsequent queries to follow
behavior of a name server configured for DNSSEC validating and
forwarding.
</p>
+<p>
By default, responses are validated using built-in DNSSEC trust
anchors for the root zone (".") and for the ISC DNSSEC lookaside
validation zone ("dlv.isc.org"). Records returned by
be used to check the validity of DNS responses in environments
where local name servers may not be trustworthy.
</p>
+<p>
Unless it is told to query a specific name server,
<span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will try each of the servers listed in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>. If no usable server
queries to the localhost addresses (127.0.0.1 for IPv4, ::1
for IPv6).
</p>
+<p>
When no command line arguments or options are given,
<span class="command"><strong>delv</strong></span> will perform an NS query for "."
(the root zone).

+<p><span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span>
(domain information groper) is a flexible tool
for interrogating DNS name servers. It performs DNS lookups and
displays the answers that are returned from the name server(s) that
clarity of output. Other lookup tools tend to have less functionality
than <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Although <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> is normally used with
command-line
arguments, it also has a batch mode of operation for reading lookup
from the
command line.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Unless it is told to query a specific name server,
<span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> will try each of the servers listed in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>. If no usable server addresses
are found, <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> will send the query to the local
host.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When no command line arguments or options are given,
<span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> will perform an NS query for "." (the root).
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
It is possible to set per-user defaults for <span class="command"><strong>dig</strong></span> via
<code class="filename">${HOME}/.digrc</code>. This file is read and
any options in it
are applied before the command line arguments.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The IN and CH class names overlap with the IN and CH top level
domain names. Either use the <code class="option">-t</code> and
<code class="option">-c</code> options to specify the type and class,
use the <code class="option">-q</code> the specify the domain name, or
use "IN." and "CH." when looking up these top level domains.

generates a key pair of files that referencing a key object stored
in a cryptographic hardware service module (HSM). The private key
file can be used for DNSSEC signing of zone data as if it were a
but the key material is stored within the HSM, and the actual signing
takes place there.
</p>

The <code class="option">name</code> of the key is specified on the command
line. This must match the name of the zone for which the key is
being generated.

Selects the cryptographic algorithm. The value of
<code class="option">algorithm</code> must be one of RSAMD5, RSASHA1,
DSA, NSEC3RSASHA1, NSEC3DSA, RSASHA256, RSASHA512, ECCGOST,
ECDSAP256SHA256 or ECDSAP384SHA384.
These values are case insensitive.
</p>
+<p>
If no algorithm is specified, then RSASHA1 will be used by
default, unless the <code class="option">-3</code> option is specified,
in which case NSEC3RSASHA1 will be used instead. (If
<code class="option">-3</code> is used and an algorithm is specified,
that algorithm will be checked for compatibility with NSEC3.)
</p>
+<p>
Note 1: that for DNSSEC, RSASHA1 is a mandatory to implement
algorithm, and DSA is recommended.
</p>

Note 2: DH automatically sets the -k flag.

Specifies the cryptographic hardware to use.
</p>
+<p>
When BIND is built with OpenSSL PKCS#11 support, this defaults
to the string "pkcs11", which identifies an OpenSSL engine
that can drive a cryptographic accelerator or hardware service
(--enable-native-pkcs11), it defaults to the path of the PKCS#11
provider library specified via "--with-pkcs11".
</p>

<dt><span class="term">-l <em class="replaceable"><code>label</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
+<p>
Specifies the label for a key pair in the crypto hardware.
</p>
+<p>
When <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 is built with OpenSSL-based
PKCS#11 support, the label is an arbitrary string that
identifies a particular key. It may be preceded by an
optional OpenSSL engine name, followed by a colon, as in
"pkcs11:<em class="replaceable"><code>keylabel</code></em>".
</p>
+<p>
When <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 is built with native PKCS#11
support, the label is a PKCS#11 URI string in the format
"pkcs11:<code class="option">keyword</code>=<em class="replaceable"><code>value</code></em>[<span class="optional">;<code class="option">keyword</code>=<em class="replaceable"><code>value</code></em>;...</span>]"
which the HSM's PIN code can be obtained. The label will be
stored in the on-disk "private" file.
</p>
+<p>
If the label contains a
<code class="option">pin-source</code> field, tools using the generated
key files will be able to use the HSM for signing and other
may reduce the security advantage of using an HSM; be sure
this is what you want to do before making use of this feature.

+<p><span class="command"><strong>dnssec-keygen</strong></span>
generates keys for DNSSEC (Secure DNS), as defined in RFC 2535
and RFC 4034. It can also generate keys for use with
TSIG (Transaction Signatures) as defined in RFC 2845, or TKEY
(Transaction Key) as defined in RFC 2930.
</p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">name</code> of the key is specified on the command
line. For DNSSEC keys, this must match the name of the zone for
which the key is being generated.

<dt><span class="term">-a <em class="replaceable"><code>algorithm</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
+<p>
Selects the cryptographic algorithm. For DNSSEC keys, the value
of <code class="option">algorithm</code> must be one of RSAMD5, RSASHA1,
DSA, NSEC3RSASHA1, NSEC3DSA, RSASHA256, RSASHA512, ECCGOST,
HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA384, or HMAC-SHA512. These values are
case insensitive.
</p>
+<p>
If no algorithm is specified, then RSASHA1 will be used by
default, unless the <code class="option">-3</code> option is specified,
in which case NSEC3RSASHA1 will be used instead. (If
<code class="option">-3</code> is used and an algorithm is specified,
that algorithm will be checked for compatibility with NSEC3.)
</p>
+<p>
Note 1: that for DNSSEC, RSASHA1 is a mandatory to implement
algorithm, and DSA is recommended. For TSIG, HMAC-MD5 is
mandatory.
</p>
+<p>
Note 2: DH, HMAC-MD5, and HMAC-SHA1 through HMAC-SHA512
automatically set the -T KEY option.
</p>
- </dd>
+</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-b <em class="replaceable"><code>keysize</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
+<p>
Specifies the number of bits in the key. The choice of key
size depends on the algorithm used. RSA keys must be
between 512 and 2048 bits. Diffie Hellman keys must be between
between 1 and 512 bits. Elliptic curve algorithms don't need
this parameter.
</p>
+<p>
The key size does not need to be specified if using a default
algorithm. The default key size is 1024 bits for zone signing
keys (ZSKs) and 2048 bits for key signing keys (KSKs,
then there is no default key size, and the <code class="option">-b</code>
must be used.

- </dd>
+</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-n <em class="replaceable"><code>nametype</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd>
- <p>
+<dd><p>
Specifies the owner type of the key. The value of
<code class="option">nametype</code> must either be ZONE (for a DNSSEC
zone key (KEY/DNSKEY)), HOST or ENTITY (for a key associated with
USER (for a key associated with a user(KEY)) or OTHER (DNSKEY).
These values are case insensitive. Defaults to ZONE for DNSKEY
generation.

+ </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-3</span></dt>
-<dd>
- <p>
+<dd><p>
Use an NSEC3-capable algorithm to generate a DNSSEC key.
If this option is used and no algorithm is explicitly
set on the command line, NSEC3RSASHA1 will be used by
default. Note that RSASHA256, RSASHA512, ECCGOST,
ECDSAP256SHA256 and ECDSAP384SHA384 algorithms
are NSEC3-capable.

Compatibility mode: generates an old-style key, without
any metadata. By default, <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-keygen</strong></span>
will include the key's creation date in the metadata stored
(publication date, activation date, etc). Keys that include
this data may be incompatible with older versions of BIND; the
<code class="option">-C</code> option suppresses them.

will be signed by all active keys. When this flag is set,
it will not be an error if the DNSKEY RRset is not signed
by zone-signing keys. This corresponds to the <code class="option">-x</code>

With this flag set, we only require that for each algorithm,
there will be at least one non-revoked, self-signed DNSKEY,

+<p><span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span>
is a simple utility for performing DNS lookups.
It is normally used to convert names to IP addresses and vice versa.
When no arguments or options are given,
<span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span>
prints a short summary of its command line arguments and options.
</p>

IPv6 address, in which case <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> will by
should query instead of the server or servers listed in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-a</code> (all) option is equivalent to setting the
<code class="option">-v</code> option and asking <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> to make
a query of type ANY.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
When the <code class="option">-C</code> option is used, <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span>
will attempt to display the SOA records for zone
<em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> from all the listed
servers for that zone. The list of name servers is defined by the NS
records that are found for the zone.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-c</code> option instructs to make a DNS query of class
<em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em>. This can be used to lookup
Hesiod or
Chaosnet class resource records. The default class is IN (Internet).
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Verbose output is generated by <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> when
the
<code class="option">-d</code> or <code class="option">-v</code> option is used. The two

- <p>
+<p>
List mode is selected by the <code class="option">-l</code> option. This makes
<span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> perform a zone transfer for zone
<em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>. Transfer the zone printing out
and address records (A/AAAA). If combined with <code class="option">-a</code>
all records will be printed.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-i</code>
option specifies that reverse lookups of IPv6 addresses should
use the IP6.INT domain as defined in RFC1886.
The default is to use IP6.ARPA.
</p>
-
- <p>

The <code class="option">-N</code> option sets the number of dots that have to be
in <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> for it to be considered
absolute. The

</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The number of UDP retries for a lookup can be changed with the
<code class="option">-R</code> option. <em class="parameter"><code>number</code></em>
indicates
the value of the <em class="parameter"><code>attempts</code></em> option in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>, if set.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Non-recursive queries can be made via the <code class="option">-r</code> option.
Setting this option clears the <span class="type">RD</span> — recursion
desired — bit in the query which <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> makes.
expecting to receive answers to those queries that are usually
referrals to other name servers.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
By default, <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> uses UDP when making
queries. The
<code class="option">-T</code> option makes it use a TCP connection when querying
the name server. TCP will be automatically selected for queries that
require it, such as zone transfer (AXFR) requests.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-4</code> option forces <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> to only
use IPv4 query transport. The <code class="option">-6</code> option forces
<span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span> to only use IPv6 query transport.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-t</code> option is used to select the query type.
<em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> can be any recognized query
type: CNAME,
serial number can be specified by appending an equal followed by the
starting serial number (e.g. -t IXFR=12345678).
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The time to wait for a reply can be controlled through the
<code class="option">-W</code> and <code class="option">-w</code> options. The
<code class="option">-W</code> option makes <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span>
<em class="parameter"><code>timeout</code></em> option in
<code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-s</code> option tells <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span>
<span class="emphasis"><em>not</em></span> to send the query to the next nameserver
if any server responds with a SERVFAIL response, which is the
reverse of normal stub resolver behavior.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-m</code> can be used to set the memory usage debugging
flags
<em class="parameter"><code>record</code></em>, <em class="parameter"><code>usage</code></em> and
<em class="parameter"><code>trace</code></em>.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">-V</code> option causes <span class="command"><strong>host</strong></span>
to print the version number and exit.

+<p>
Versions of BIND 9 up to and including BIND 9.6 had a bug causing
HMAC-SHA* TSIG keys which were longer than the digest length of the
hash algorithm (i.e., SHA1 keys longer than 160 bits, SHA256 keys
message authentication code that was incompatible with other DNS
implementations.
</p>
+<p>
This bug has been fixed in BIND 9.7. However, the fix may
cause incompatibility between older and newer versions of
BIND, when using long keys. <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span>
modifies those keys to restore compatibility.
</p>
+<p>
To modify a key, run <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span> and
specify the key's algorithm and secret on the command line. If the
secret is longer than the digest length of the algorithm (64 bytes
secret. (If the secret did not require conversion, then it will be
printed without modification.)

Secrets that have been converted by <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span>
are shortened, but as this is how the HMAC protocol works in
operation anyway, it does not affect security. RFC 2104 notes,
extra length would not significantly increase the function

+<p><span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span>
is the daemon providing name lookup
services to clients that use the BIND 9 lightweight resolver
library. It is essentially a stripped-down, caching-only name
server that answers queries using the BIND 9 lightweight
resolver protocol rather than the DNS protocol.
</p>
-
- <p><span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span>
+<p><span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span>
listens for resolver queries on a
UDP port on the IPv4 loopback interface, 127.0.0.1. This
means that <span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span> can only be used by
number 921 is used for lightweight resolver requests and
responses.
</p>
+<p>
Incoming lightweight resolver requests are decoded by the
server which then resolves them using the DNS protocol. When
the DNS lookup completes, <span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span> encodes
the answers in the lightweight resolver format and returns
them to the client that made the request.
</p>
+<p>
If <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code> contains any
<code class="option">nameserver</code> entries, <span class="command"><strong>lwresd</strong></span>
sends recursive DNS queries to those servers. This is similar
queries autonomously starting at the root name servers, using
a built-in list of root server hints.

<span class="command"><strong>named-journalprint</strong></span>
prints the contents of a zone journal file in a human-readable
form.
</p>
+<p>
Journal files are automatically created by <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>
when changes are made to dynamic zones (e.g., by
<span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>). They record each addition
<code class="filename">.jnl</code> to the name of the corresponding
zone file.
</p>
+<p>
<span class="command"><strong>named-journalprint</strong></span> converts the contents of a given
journal file into a human-readable text format. Each line begins
with "add" or "del", to indicate whether the record was added or
deleted, and continues with the resource record in master-file
format.

+<a name="id-1.14.22.7"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+<p><span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
is used to submit Dynamic DNS Update requests as defined in RFC 2136
to a name server.
This allows resource records to be added or removed from a zone
one
resource record.
</p>
+<p>
Zones that are under dynamic control via
<span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
or a DHCP server should not be edited by hand.
Manual edits could
conflict with dynamic updates and cause data to be lost.
</p>
+<p>
The resource records that are dynamically added or removed with
<span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span>
have to be in the same zone.
Requests are sent to the zone's master server.
This is identified by the MNAME field of the zone's SOA record.
</p>
+<p>
Transaction signatures can be used to authenticate the Dynamic
DNS updates. These use the TSIG resource record type described
in RFC 2845 or the SIG(0) record described in RFC 2535 and
RFC 2931 or GSS-TSIG as described in RFC 3645.
</p>
+<p>
TSIG relies on
a shared secret that should only be known to
<span class="command"><strong>nsupdate</strong></span> and the name server.
uses the <code class="option">-y</code> or <code class="option">-k</code> options
to provide the TSIG shared secret. These options are mutually exclusive.
</p>
+<p>
SIG(0) uses public key cryptography.
To use a SIG(0) key, the public key must be stored in a KEY
record in a zone served by the name server.
</p>
+<p>
GSS-TSIG uses Kerberos credentials. Standard GSS-TSIG mode
is switched on with the <code class="option">-g</code> flag. A
non-standards-compliant variant of GSS-TSIG used by Windows
2000 can be switched on with the <code class="option">-o</code> flag.

+<p><code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> is the configuration file
for <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>, the BIND 9 name server control
utility. This file has a similar structure and syntax to
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>. Statements are enclosed
the statements are also semi-colon terminated. The usual
comment styles are supported:
</p>

-
<p><code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> is much simpler than
+<p><code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> is much simpler than
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>. The file uses three
statements: an options statement, a server statement
and a key statement.
</p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">options</code> statement contains five clauses.
The <code class="option">default-server</code> clause is followed by the
name or address of a name server. This host will be used when
can be used to set the IPv4 and IPv6 source addresses
respectively.
</p>
+<p>
After the <code class="option">server</code> keyword, the server
statement includes a string which is the hostname or address
for a name server. The statement has three possible clauses:
of supplied then these will be used to specify the IPv4 and IPv6
source addresses respectively.
</p>
+<p>
The <code class="option">key</code> statement begins with an identifying
string, the name of the key. The statement has two clauses.
<code class="option">algorithm</code> identifies the authentication algorithm
the base-64 encoding of the algorithm's authentication key. The
base-64 string is enclosed in double quotes.
</p>
+<p>
There are two common ways to generate the base-64 string for the
secret. The BIND 9 program <span class="command"><strong>rndc-confgen</strong></span>
can
ship with BIND 9 but is available on many systems. See the
EXAMPLE section for sample command lines for each.

A negative trust anchor selectively disables
DNSSEC validation for zones that are known to be
failing because of misconfiguration rather than
insecure rather than bogus. This continues until the
NTA's lifetime is elapsed.
</p>

NTAs persist across restarts of the <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> server.

An existing NTA can be removed by using the

An NTA's lifetime can be specified with the
<code class="option">-lifetime</code> option. TTL-style
suffixes can be used to specify the lifetime in
new value. Setting <code class="option">lifetime</code> to zero
is equivalent to <code class="option">-remove</code>.

are ignored, and a list of existing NTAs is printed

Added support for DynDB, a new interface for loading zone data
from an external database, developed by Red Hat for the FreeIPA
project. (Thanks in particular to Adam Tkac and Petr
Spacek of Red Hat for the contribution.)
</p>
+<p>
Unlike the existing DLZ and SDB interfaces, which provide a
limited subset of database functionality within BIND —
translating DNS queries into real-time database lookups with
DNSSEC-signed data — DynDB is able to fully implement
and extend the database API used natively by BIND.
</p>
+<p>
A DynDB module could pre-load data from an external data
source, then serve it with the same performance and
functionality as conventional BIND zones, and with the
ability to take advantage of database features not
available in BIND, such as multi-master replication.

The BIND 9 lightweight resolver library is a simple, name service
independent stub resolver library. It provides hostname-to-address
and address-to-hostname lookup services to applications by
The library and resolver daemon communicate using a simple
UDP-based protocol.
</p>

-<a name="idp60739152"></a><h2>OVERVIEW</h2>
-
- <p>
+</div>
+<div class="refsection">
+<a name="id-1.8"></a><h2>OVERVIEW</h2>
+<p>
The lwresd library implements multiple name service APIs.
The standard
<code class="function">gethostbyname()</code>,
library into their base distributions should rename the functions
in the library proper so that the renaming macros are not needed.
</p>
+<p>
The library also provides a native API consisting of the functions
<code class="function">lwres_getaddrsbyname()</code>
and
control over the lookup process than the standard functions
provide.
</p>
+<p>
In addition to these name service independent address lookup
functions, the library implements a new, experimental API
for looking up arbitrary DNS resource records, using the
<code class="function">lwres_getaddrsbyname()</code>
function.
</p>
+<p>
Finally, there is a low-level API for converting lookup
requests and responses to and from raw lwres protocol packets.
This API can be used by clients requiring nonblocking operation,
resolver daemon. The use of this low-level API in clients
and servers is outlined in the following sections.
</p>

-
- <p>
+</div>
+<div class="refsection">
+<a name="id-1.9"></a><h2>CLIENT-SIDE LOW-LEVEL API CALL FLOW</h2>
+<p>
When a client program wishes to make an lwres request using the
native low-level API, it typically performs the following
sequence of actions.
</p>
+<p>
(1) Allocate or use an existing <span class="type">lwres_packet_t</span>,
called <code class="varname">pkt</code> below.
</p>
+<p>
(2) Set <code class="varname">pkt.recvlength</code> to the maximum length
we will accept.
This is done so the receiver of our packets knows how large our receive
buffer is. The "default" is a constant in
<code class="filename">lwres.h</code>: <code class="constant">LWRES_RECVLENGTH = 4096</code>.
</p>
+<p>
(3) Set <code class="varname">pkt.serial</code>
to a unique serial number. This value is echoed
back to the application by the remote server.
</p>
+<p>
(4) Set <code class="varname">pkt.pktflags</code>. Usually this is set to
0.
</p>
+<p>
(5) Set <code class="varname">pkt.result</code> to 0.
</p>
+<p>
(6) Call <code class="function">lwres_*request_render()</code>,
or marshall in the data using the primitives
such as <code class="function">lwres_packet_render()</code>
and storing the packet data.
</p>
+<p>
(7) Transmit the resulting buffer.
</p>
+<p>
(8) Call <code class="function">lwres_*response_parse()</code>
to parse any packets received.
</p>
+<p>
(9) Verify that the opcode and serial match a request, and process the
packet specific information contained in the body.
</p>

- <p>
+</div>
+<div class="refsection">
+<a name="id-1.10"></a><h2>SERVER-SIDE LOW-LEVEL API CALL FLOW</h2>
+<p>
When implementing the server side of the lightweight resolver
protocol using the lwres library, a sequence of actions like the
following is typically involved in processing each request packet.
</p>
+<p>
Note that the same <span class="type">lwres_packet_t</span> is used
in both the <code class="function">_parse()</code> and <code class="function">_render()</code> calls,
with only a few modifications made
recommended
as it keeps the serial, opcode, and other fields correct.
</p>
+<p>
(1) When a packet is received, call <code class="function">lwres_*request_parse()</code> to
unmarshall it. This returns a <span class="type">lwres_packet_t</span> (also called <code class="varname">pkt</code>, below)
as well as a data specific type, such as <span class="type">lwres_gabnrequest_t</span>.
</p>
+<p>
(2) Process the request in the data specific type.
</p>
+<p>
(3) Set the <code class="varname">pkt.result</code>,
<code class="varname">pkt.recvlength</code> as above. All other fields
can
properly. Otherwise, the <code class="constant">LWRES_LWPACKETFLAG_RESPONSE</code> bit should be
set.
</p>
+<p>
(4) Call the data specific rendering function, such as
<code class="function">lwres_gabnresponse_render()</code>.
</p>
+<p>
(5) Send the resulting packet to the client.

A buffer is a region of memory, together with a set of related
subregions.

Initially, the used region is empty.
</p>

The used region is further subdivided into two disjoint regions: the

The union of these two regions is the used region.

Initially, the consumed region is empty.
</p>

The <span class="emphasis"><em>active region</em></span> is an (optional) subregion of the
remaining
region.
If the current offset advances beyond the chosen offset,
the active region will also be empty.

+<p><code class="function">lwres_context_create()</code>
creates a <span class="type">lwres_context_t</span> structure for use in
lightweight resolver operations. It holds a socket and other
data needed for communicating with a resolver daemon. The new
is modified to point to the newly created
<span class="type">lwres_context_t</span>.
</p>
+<p>
When the lightweight resolver needs to perform dynamic memory
allocation, it will call
<em class="parameter"><code>malloc_function</code></em>
and
<em class="parameter"><code>free_function</code></em>
are NULL, memory is allocated using
- <span class="citerefentry">
- <span class="refentrytitle">malloc</span>(3)
- </span>.
+ <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">malloc</span>(3)</span>.
and
- <span class="citerefentry">
- <span class="refentrytitle">free</span>(3)
- </span>.
+ <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">free</span>(3)</span>.
It is not permitted to have a NULL
<em class="parameter"><code>malloc_function</code></em> and a non-NULL
<em class="parameter"><code>arg</code></em> is unused and should be passed as
NULL.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Once memory for the structure has been allocated,
it is initialized using
- <span class="citerefentry">
- <span class="refentrytitle">lwres_conf_init</span>(3)
- </span>
+ <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">lwres_conf_init</span>(3)</span>
and returned via <em class="parameter"><code>*contextp</code></em>.
</p>
-
- <p><code class="function">lwres_context_destroy()</code>
+<p><code class="function">lwres_context_destroy()</code>
destroys a <span class="type">lwres_context_t</span>, closing its socket.
<em class="parameter"><code>contextp</code></em> is a pointer to a pointer to the
context that is to be destroyed. The pointer will be set to
NULL when the context has been destroyed.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
The context holds a serial number that is used to identify
resolver request packets and associate responses with the
corresponding requests. This serial number is controlled using
<code class="function">lwres_context_nextserial()</code> increments the
serial number and returns the previous value.
</p>
-
- <p>
+<p>
Memory for a lightweight resolver context is allocated and freed
using <code class="function">lwres_context_allocmem()</code> and
<code class="function">lwres_context_freemem()</code>. These use
<em class="parameter"><code>len</code></em> bytes of space starting at location
<em class="parameter"><code>mem</code></em>.
</p>
-
- <p><code class="function">lwres_context_sendrecv()</code>
+<p><code class="function">lwres_context_sendrecv()</code>
performs I/O for the context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em>. Data
are read and written from the context's socket. It writes data
from <em class="parameter"><code>sendbase</code></em> — typically a
written to this receive buffer is returned in
<em class="parameter"><code>*recvd_len</code></em>.

+<p>
These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
lightweight resolver name-to-address lookup request and
response messages.
</p>
+<p>
There are four main functions for the getaddrbyname opcode.
One render function converts a getaddrbyname request structure —
<span class="type">lwres_gabnrequest_t</span> —
This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
canonical format to a getaddrbyname response structure.
</p>
+<p>
These structures are defined in
<code class="filename"><lwres/lwres.h></code>.
They are shown below.

These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
lightweight resolver address-to-name lookup request and
response messages.
</p>
+<p>
There are four main functions for the getnamebyaddr opcode.
One render function converts a getnamebyaddr request structure —
<span class="type">lwres_gnbarequest_t</span> —
This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
canonical format to a getnamebyaddr response structure.
</p>
+<p>
These structures are defined in
<code class="filename">lwres/lwres.h</code>.
They are shown below.

+<p>
These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
lightweight resolver no-op request and response messages.
</p>
+<p>
The no-op message is analogous to a <span class="command"><strong>ping</strong></span>
packet:
a packet is sent to the resolver daemon and is simply echoed back.
The opcode is intended to allow a client to determine if the server is
operational or not.
</p>
+<p>
There are four main functions for the no-op opcode.
One render function converts a no-op request structure —
<span class="type">lwres_nooprequest_t</span> —
This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
canonical format to a no-op response structure.
</p>
+<p>
These structures are defined in
<code class="filename">lwres/lwres.h</code>.
They are shown below.
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">
+<pre class="programlisting">
#define LWRES_OPCODE_NOOP 0x00000000U
</pre>
<p>
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">
+<pre class="programlisting">
typedef struct {
lwres_uint16_t datalength;
unsigned char *data;
</pre>
<p>
</p>
-
<pre class="programlisting">
+<pre class="programlisting">
typedef struct {
lwres_uint16_t datalength;
unsigned char *data;
</pre>
<p>
</p>
+<p>
Although the structures have different types, they are identical.
This is because the no-op opcode simply echos whatever data was sent:
the response is therefore identical to the request.
</p>
-
- <p><code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_render()</code>
+<p><code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_render()</code>
uses resolver context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> to convert
no-op request structure <em class="parameter"><code>req</code></em> to canonical
format. The packet header structure <em class="parameter"><code>pkt</code></em>
<span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span> to the lightweight resolver's
canonical format.
</p>
-
- <p><code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_parse()</code>
+<p><code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_parse()</code>
uses context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> to convert the contents
of packet <em class="parameter"><code>pkt</code></em> to a

semantics as <code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_parse()</code>
except it yields a <span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span> structure.
</p>
-
- <p><code class="function">lwres_noopresponse_free()</code>
+<p><code class="function">lwres_noopresponse_free()</code>
and <code class="function">lwres_nooprequest_free()</code> release the
memory in resolver context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> that was
allocated to the <span class="type">lwres_noopresponse_t</span> or
<span class="type">lwres_nooprequest_t</span> structures referenced via
<em class="parameter"><code>structp</code></em>.

+<p><code class="function">lwres_string_parse()</code>
retrieves a DNS-encoded string starting the current pointer of
lightweight resolver buffer <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>: i.e.
<code class="constant">b->current</code>. When the function returns,
string length, the encoded string, and the trailing
<span class="type">NULL</span> character.
</p>
-
- <p><code class="function">lwres_addr_parse()</code>
+<p><code class="function">lwres_addr_parse()</code>
extracts an address from the buffer <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>.
The buffer's current pointer <code class="constant">b->current</code>
is presumed to point at an encoded address: the address preceded
next byte of available data in the buffer following the encoded
address.
</p>
-
- <p><code class="function">lwres_getaddrsbyname()</code>
+<p><code class="function">lwres_getaddrsbyname()</code>

typedef struct {
lwres_uint32_t flags;
size_t baselen;
} lwres_gabnresponse_t;
</pre>

+<p>
The lightweight resolver uses
<code class="function">lwres_getaddrsbyname()</code> to perform
forward lookups.
<span class="type">LWRES_ADDRTYPE_V6</span> for IPv6 addresses. Results of the
lookup are returned in <em class="parameter"><code>*structp</code></em>.
</p>
-
- <p><code class="function">lwres_getnamebyaddr()</code>
+<p><code class="function">lwres_getnamebyaddr()</code>
performs reverse lookups. Resolver context
<em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> is used for memory allocation. The
address type is indicated by <em class="parameter"><code>addrtype</code></em>:
function call is made available through
<em class="parameter"><code>*structp</code></em>.
