Dear all,

I have the following situation in my zone migration for one server (A) to 
another server (B)

The zone is called toto.be and contains the following record:

www.toto.be  86400 IN CNAME  www.titi.be


== the zone titi.be is in the same server (A) but is not transferred to the 
server (B).


If I do a dig @SERVER(A) www.toto.be  == I  receive the IP corresponding to 
www.titi.be

If I do a dig @SERVER(B) www.toto.be  == I do not receive the IP corresponding 
to www.titi.be


- Is this situation due to the fact that dig always and only contacts the 
server mentionned in the command ?


- Does the titi.be and toto.be be on the same server to correctly use CNAMES?


Thanks for your feedback,

hugo,

Inline Signing does not update SOA?

2012-05-07 Thread Bischof, Ralph F. (MSFC-IS40)[NICS]
Hi,

I am testing with BIND 9.9.0 and inline signing. I have run upon 
something that I cannot figure out. When I update the SOA record of the master 
zone file, if I reload the zone with rndc reload, the SOA record is updated. 
If I perform a stop/start of the named executable, the SOA change is not 
updated. I can even see in the log file where the unsigned zone's serial number 
is incremented, yet the signed version does not change. Below you can see where 
I started named, stopped named, made a change in the SOA and incremented the 
serial number, then started named. After that, I incremented the serial number 
once more then performed an rndc reload.

This works, because server A knows about both zones, so it can return
the IP address out of zone titi.be.

 If I do a dig @SERVER(B) www.toto.be  == I do not receive the IP
 corresponding to www.titi.be

Server B does not know about titi.be, so it cannot provide the IP address.

 - Is this situation due to the fact that dig always and only contacts
 the server mentionned in the command ?

When you run dig like this, it sends one query to a server, and shows
you the response. The dig command does not do recursive resolution.

 - Does the titi.be and toto.be be on the same server to correctly use
 CNAMES?

No. A recursive DNS resolver will be able to follow the CNAME chain from
server B back to A to look up records in titi.be.

Re:

2012-05-07 Thread John Wingenbach
If that's an exact copy of your record, I'm going to also assume that 
the ORIGIN at the time of the record is toto.be.  As such, the 
resulting record becomes:


www.toto.be.toto.be. 86400 IN CNAME www.titi.be.toto.be.

Note that trailing '.'s are required to prevent the automatic addition 
of the ORIGIN.


e.g.:

www.toto.be. 86400 IN CNAME www.titi.be.

Dig will only send it's query to the server specified on the command 
line (when specified).  Otherwise, it uses the server listed in the 
resolver configuration.  If this doesn't answer your question, provide 
better information.  i.e. example dig and full response.

I am assuming here that server B is not set up for recursion.

The extra information is provided when it is known.

 If I do a dig @SERVER(B) www.toto.be  == I do not receive the IP
 corresponding to www.titi.be

Since there is no recursion allowed, all SERVER(B) can provide is the
information for which it is authoritative.
 
 - Is this situation due to the fact that dig always and only contacts the

Yes.  Dig id not a complete resolver, it does not chase down incomplete
references or glue.

 
 - Does the titi.be and toto.be be on the same server to correctly use CNAMES?
 

No.  A recursive resolver will determine the information using more than one
query.

I believe that the official answer is that you need to use rndc to
freeze the zone, edit the zone file, and thaw the zone. You really
can't edit a zone that is subject to any operation that makes use of
journal files (dynamic updates, in-line signing) while the zone may be
changing during the edit.

Because bind can't distinguish between a query for s6.exacttarget.com from

s6.exacttarget.com zone, so it employs longest match and returns the
appropriate information.
  
 Seems BIND is helping us out behind the scenes somehow. Right?

Bind is hiding your configuration error, yes.  It won't work with DNSSEC and
might fail if you have a secondary for s6.exacttarget.com that is not also
authoritative for exacttarget.com

You are getting lucky that they are on the same server and when asked
about anything in the subdomain the server notices it loads it and answers
for it. It is however a landmine waiting for someone in thee future.  If
you move the subdomain to another server without fixing the delegation the
subdomain will disappear.

s6 is a subdomain of the parent domain.  Unless otherwise specified, 
subdomains are mastered (NS'd) by the parent (or extended parent domain) 
containing NS records.  As such, because you didn't put any NS records 
in the zone file for s6, it follows the NS records of the parent which 
happen to be the same name server as s6.  On the other hand, if you had 
attempted to master s6 on a different name server, it would not have worked.

Is there something else that I may be doing wrong?

The reason this is important to me is that the application that we use for

the zones.

New to BIND - Setting up slaveserver

2012-05-07 Thread James Sheffer
Hi everyone-

Newbe here...

We have been running name servers using QDNS (Mac) for eons but now I want to 
change that.

I still have NS1 (Master) set up and running with QDNS.  It is also set to be 
the master for NS2 so that shouldn't need changing (I hope, although NS1 is 
running BIND 4.x and the new NS2 Slave will be running the latest build of 
BIND 9).

Having never set up NS records by hand, I'm not sure about what I'm doing, at 
least for the Slave (NS2).

I've read up on almost everything I could find, gone through my BIND book (DNS 
 BIND) and have a pretty good understanding of the basic zone file setups.  
What I'm not sure about is setting up my named.conf file for the Slave.

My first question is about my options.  For now, I want to receive transfers 
from my Master server.  I may want to disallow the NS2 from transferring 
requests for outside domains (It appears this is a good idea?) but for now 
(testing) I don't want to do that.  Does this look correct for a basic Slave 
server's options?:
PS - I'm not sure on syntax - should the allow-update and allow-transfer 
statements be like they are with an extra ; inside the curly brackets (It 
feels wrong but I keep seeing it )?

options {
directory  /var/named;
allow-notify  {74.254.239.53 }; // Master IP Address
//  allow-transfer  {none ; };
recursion yes;
};

I have zones for the following:

Zone . IN {
type hint;
file named.ca;
}
Zone localhost IN {
type master;
file localhost.zone;
allow-update ( none;  };
};
zone 239.254.74.in-addr.arpa IN {
type slave;
file slaves/74.254.239.54.rev; // Slave address
masters {74.254.239.53}; // Master address
};

Then I set up the zones for the websites (about 40):

zone higherpowered.com IN {
type slave;
file slaves/higherpowered.com;
masters {74.254.239.53};
};

etc

Logging ...
--

Next Question:

When setting up new slave zones, is there anything else I have to do other than 
adding their zone records here in the named.conf?  Do the actual zone 
information files get written into the slaves directory according to the name 
I call them here, or do I have to include a blank file already named for each?


I apologize for all the questions - I honestly have been looking up as much 
information as I could before asking :-)

it has been many years since i touched 4.x...it should be fine with newer
bind versions as slaves, but you might end up needing some additional
tweaking to get it all working.

if possible i'd really suggest setting up an ip alias on your existing
master and run bind 9.x on that...then cut-over to the updated bind
infrastructure once you're confident it's working.  4.x is so ancient at
this point i hate to see it actively used!

 I've read up on almost everything I could find, gone through my BIND book (DNS
  BIND) and have a pretty good understanding of the basic zone file setups.
 What I'm not sure about is setting up my named.conf file for the Slave.

i'm probably biased, but i think the example conf here may be useful:

http://www.cymru.com/Documents/secure-bind-template.html

 My first question is about my options.  For now, I want to receive transfers
 from my Master server.  I may want to disallow the NS2 from transferring
 requests for outside domains (It appears this is a good idea?) but for now
 (testing) I don't want to do that.  Does this look correct for a basic Slave
 server's options?:
 PS - I'm not sure on syntax - should the allow-update and allow-transfer
 statements be like they are with an extra ; inside the curly brackets (It
 feels wrong but I keep seeing it )?

it's not that you have an extra semicolon inside the brackets but rather
each element is terminated with a semicolon...  this may help:

whatever-option {
elementA;
elementB;
elementC;
};

 options {
 directory  /var/named;
 allow-notify  {74.254.239.53 }; // Master IP Address
 // allow-transfer  {none ; };
 recursion yes;
 };
 
 I have zones for the following:
 
 Zone . IN {
 type hint;
 file named.ca;
 }
 Zone localhost IN {
 type master;
 file localhost.zone;
 allow-update ( none;  };
 };
 zone 239.254.74.in-addr.arpa IN {
 type slave;
 file slaves/74.254.239.54.rev;  // Slave address
 masters {74.254.239.53}; // Master address
 };
 
 Then I set up the zones for the websites (about 40):
 
 zone higherpowered.com IN {
 type slave;
 file slaves/higherpowered.com;
 masters {74.254.239.53};
 };

you may need to clean some spacing...  and you likely don't need
allow-notify to the master, since that's where changes will occur (it'll
already know about new data, and notify your slaves).

recursion may be needed for your internal clients, but you generally want it
in a private view or controlled by an acl (see secure template).

 When setting up new slave zones, is there anything else I have to do other
 than adding their zone records here in the named.conf?  Do the actual zone
 information files get written into the slaves directory according to the
 name I call them here, or do I have to include a blank file already named for
 each?

when you add a new domain you'd add a master stanza on your primary server,
then add zone definitions in named.conf of type slave for the secondaries,
which will in turn zone-transfer the data files from the specified
master(s).  they will indeed get written to the directory/file name(s) you
specify with file.

once you have a configuration you think is mostly correct, i suggest running
named-checkconf against it for helpful pointers on things that might need
work...as well as named-checkzone on your zone files.

good luck!

Re: Inline Signing does not update SOA?

 Hi,
 
   I am testing with BIND 9.9.0 and inline signing. I have run upon 
 something that I cannot figure out. W
 hen I update the SOA record of the master zone file, if I reload the zone 
 with rndc reload, the SOA record
  is updated. If I perform a stop/start of the named executable, the SOA 
 change is not updated. I can even se
 e in the log file where the unsigned zone's serial number is incremented, yet 
 the signed version does not ch
 ange. Below you can see where I started named, stopped named, made a change 
 in the SOA and incremented the s
 erial number, then started named. After that, I incremented the serial number 
 once more then performed an r
 ndc reload.

If you only changed the SOA serial then this is expected behaviour.
The unsigned zone's serial is less than the signed zone's serial.
Named works out what has changed in the unsigned zone apart from
the serial and applies that to the signed zone.  That said I can
see a bug where changes only to the SOA other than the serial will
be ignored.

 Dear all,
 
 I have the following situation in my zone migration for one server (A) to a=
 nother server (B)
 
 The zone is called toto.be and contains the following record:
 
 www.toto.be  86400 IN CNAME  www.titi.be
 
 
 == the zone titi.be is in the same server (A) but is not transferred t=
 o the server (B).
 
 
 If I do a dig @SERVER(A) www.toto.be  == I  receive the IP correspondi=
 ng to www.titi.be
 
 If I do a dig @SERVER(B) www.toto.be  == I do not receive the IP corre=
 sponding to www.titi.be
 
 
 - Is this situation due to the fact that dig always and only contacts the s=
 erver mentionned in the command ?

Dig only contacts one server when using @server (note it might try
multiple addresses).  To resolve the target of a CNAME the server
needs to be configured to recurse or to have a local copy of the
CNAME target.  It is not a error for authoritative servers to not
return the data for the target of a CNAME as recursive servers will
make additional queries.

 - Does the titi.be and toto.be be on the same server to correctly use CNAME=
 S?

No, recursive servers will perform a second lookup to resolve
CNAME targets.

 Thanks for your feedback,
 
 hugo,

 allow-notify is a list of additional addresses to notify about zone changes
 other than those listed as NS records in your zone files.

Isn't that ALSO-notify?

thanks, precisely why you want to read the arm and keep replies on-list!
also good not to reply during business hours while distracted...  ;-)

that said, looking at his original quote...  telling the slave to only
accept transfers from the ip address supplied would be neither...  that's
what allow-transfer is used for.
