DNSSEC and Geodns
Nothing's ever easy, is it? So I got pdns up and going this afternoon with it's geo back end. It's working as expected and everything is good. The problem is pdns's dnssec implementation is... not particularly mature or really even usable AFAIK with geodns. Anyone out there doing both geo location and dnssec with their name servers? -Mike ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list

The solutions that comes to mind would be to have the geoip code in an unsigned sub-zone. Its not great but until 2011 I don't see it being much better.

I should explain this to people not familiar with pdns with the geo backend (as I was unfamiliar about 12 hours ago :) right now I've got powerdns to literally pull from our normal bind configs (with a few modifications). pdns uses this for most of it's data. But the geo ip lookups would happen prior to the bind lookups and the way it's setup now would return a cname. So, depending on where you are located and how we set things up. 'fedoraproject.org' would point to us.fedoraproject.org or de.fedoraproject.org or maybe even na or eu.fedoraproject.org. AFAIK, that cname can't be signed with the way pdns currently works. *however* I think what the cname points to could be signed. I'm not sure if this completely bypasses what dnssec would get us or not but I suspect it's the a record signings that are the most important.
