BIND 9 and IDN

2010-12-16 Thread Hall, David
Is there any expertise on implementing Bind and IDN?  Our business is wanting 
to server up DNS for an IDN.  I have attempted to add what I believe is needed 
- but can not do a nslookup or a query from external website for this new 
domain.  Are there any additional steps need to have a IDN?

Thanks in advance.

It is working fine.
We are using this when configuring and compiling BIND on a Linux server:

CFLAGS=-march=native -pipe
STD_CDEFINES=-DDIG_SIGCHASE=1
cd contrib/idn/idnkit-1.0-src
make clean
./configure --with-gnu-ld 
make
make install
cd ../../..

make clean
./configure --disable-atomic --enable-symtable=all --with-openssl --prefix=/usr
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --sysconfdir=/etc --with-gnu-ld  --with-idn --enable-threads
CFLAGS=-O2 -march=native -pipe --enable-largefile 
STD_CDEFINES=-DDIG_SIGCHASE=1

You need to turn on IDN support at compile time if you want the
lookup tools to do the name conversions prior to looking up the
data in the DNS.

  --with-idn=MPREFIX  enable IDN support using idnkit default PREFIX
  --with-libiconv=IPREFIX GNU libiconv are in IPREFIX default PREFIX
  --with-iconv=LIBSPECspecify iconv library default -liconv
  --with-idnlib=ARG   specify libidnkit

As far as named is concerned these are just regular domain names
that start with xn--.  All the IDN knowledge is outside of named.

Your configuration for a zone would be

zone xn--kirsebrhaven4000-zob.dk IN { type master; file .

for the domain name kirsebærhaven4000.dk

named: high memory usage under FreeBSD-7...?

2010-12-16 Thread Chuck Swiger
Hi, bind-users--

I'd recently updated a machine to FreeBSD 7-STABLE, and I've noticed that named 
from the base system (which claims to be BIND 9.4-ESV-R4) is using more than 
twice as much memory as it used to:

 PID USERNAME   THR PRI NICE   SIZERES STATETIME   WCPU COMMAND
 706 bind 4   40 69424K 57292K kqread   0:09  0.00% named

It's serving about 20 zones with total record size of less than 100K, and has 
the following option block set:

options {
   directory /var/named;
   recursive-clients 400;
   clients-per-query 210;
   max-clients-per-query 220;
   max-cache-size 10m;
};

This box was previously running FreeBSD-6.4 and dns/bind94 port, and named 
never crept above 30M VSIZE/RES even under heavy load (ie, adnslogres -c 100 
against a million line httpd-access.log file); the size above is from named 
running for about a day, *without* putting any significant load upon the 
nameserver

Regards,
