BIND 9 BIND version 9 is a major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying BIND architecture. Some of the important features of BIND 9 are: - DNS Security DNSSEC (signed zones) TSIG (signed DNS requests) - IP version 6 Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets IPv6 resource records (AAAA) Experimental IPv6 Resolver Library - DNS Protocol Enhancements IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0 Improved standards conformance - Views One server process can provide multiple "views" of the DNS namespace, e.g. an "inside" view to certain clients, and an "outside" view to others. - Multiprocessor Support - Improved Portability Architecture BIND version 9 development has been underwritten by the following organizations: Sun Microsystems, Inc. Hewlett Packard Compaq Computer Corporation IBM Process Software Corporation Silicon Graphics, Inc. Network Associates, Inc. U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency USENIX Association Stichting NLnet - NLnet Foundation Nominum, Inc. For a summary of functional enhancements in previous releases, see the HISTORY file. For a detailed list of user-visible changes from previous releases, see the CHANGES file. For up-to-date release notes and errata, see http://www.isc.org/software/bind9/releasenotes BIND 9.8.3 BIND 9.8.3 is a maintenance release. BIND 9.8.2 BIND 9.8.2 includes a number of bug fixes and prevents a security problem described in CVE-2011-4313 BIND 9.8.1 BIND 9.8.1 includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements from BIND 9.8 and earlier releases. New features include: - The DLZ "dlopen" driver is now built by default. - Added a new include file with function typedefs for the DLZ "dlopen" driver. - Made "--with-gssapi" default. - More verbose error reporting from DLZ LDAP. BIND 9.8.0 BIND 9.8.0 includes a number of changes from BIND 9.7 and earlier releases. New features include: - Built-in trust anchor for the root zone, which can be switched on via "dnssec-validation auto;" - Support for DNS64. - Support for response policy zones (RPZ). - Support for writable DLZ zones. - Improved ease of configuration of GSS/TSIG for interoperability with Active Directory - Support for GOST signing algorithm for DNSSEC. - Removed RTT Banding from server selection algorithm. - New "static-stub" zone type. - Allow configuration of resolver timeouts via "resolver-query-timeout" option. BIND 9.7.0 BIND 9.7.0 includes a number of changes from BIND 9.6 and earlier releases. Most are intended to simplify DNSSEC configuration. New features include: - Fully automatic signing of zones by "named". - Simplified configuration of DNSSEC Lookaside Validation (DLV). - Simplified configuration of Dynamic DNS, using the "ddns-confgen" command line tool or the "local" update-policy option. (As a side effect, this also makes it easier to configure automatic zone re-signing.) - New named option "attach-cache" that allows multiple views to share a single cache. - DNS rebinding attack prevention. - New default values for dnssec-keygen parameters. - Support for RFC 5011 automated trust anchor maintenance - Smart signing: simplified tools for zone signing and key maintenance. - The "statistics-channels" option is now available on Windows. - A new DNSSEC-aware libdns API for use by non-BIND9 applications - On some platforms, named and other binaries can now print out a stack backtrace on assertion failure, to aid in debugging. - A "tools only" installation mode on Windows, which only installs dig, host, nslookup and nsupdate. - Improved PKCS#11 support, including Keyper support and explicit OpenSSL engine selection. Known issues in this release: - In rare cases, DNSSEC validation can leak memory. When this happens, it will cause an assertion failure when named exits, but is otherwise harmless. A fix exists, but was too late for this release; it will be included in BIND 9.7.1. Compatibility notes: - If you had built BIND 9.6 with any of ALLOW_NSEC3PARAM_UPDATE, ALLOW_SECURE_TO_INSECURE or ALLOW_INSECURE_TO_SECURE defined, then you should ensure that all changes that are in progress have completed prior to upgrading to BIND 9.7. BIND 9.7 implements those features in a way which is not backwards compatible. - Prior releases had a bug which caused HMAC-SHA* keys with long secrets to be used incorrectly. Fixing this bug means that older versions of BIND 9 may fail to interoperate with this version when using TSIG keys. If this occurs, the new "isc-hmac-fixup" tool will convert a key with a long secret into a form that works correctly with all versions of BIND 9. See the "isc-hmac-fixup" man page for additional details. - Revoking a DNSSEC key with "dnssec-revoke" changes its key ID. It is possible for the new key ID to collide with that of a different key. Newly generated keys will not have this problem, as "dnssec-keygen" looks for potential collisions before generating keys, but exercise caution if using key revokation with keys that were generated by older versions of BIND 9. See the Administrator's Reference Manual, section 4.10 ("Dynamic Trust Anchor Management") for more details. - A bug was fixed in which a key's scheduled inactivity date was stored incorectly. Users who participated in the 9.7.0 BETA test and had DNSSEC keys with scheduled inactivity dates will need to reset those keys' dates using "dnssec-settime -I". Building BIND 9 currently requires a UNIX system with an ANSI C compiler, basic POSIX support, and a 64 bit integer type. We've had successful builds and tests on the following systems: COMPAQ Tru64 UNIX 5.1B Fedora Core 6 FreeBSD 4.10, 5.2.1, 6.2 HP-UX 11.11 Mac OS X 10.5 NetBSD 3.x, 4.0-beta, 5.0-beta OpenBSD 3.3 and up Solaris 8, 9, 9 (x86), 10 Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10 Windows XP/2003/2008 NOTE: As of BIND 9.5.1, 9.4.3, and 9.3.6, older versions of Windows, including Windows NT and Windows 2000, are no longer supported. We have recent reports from the user community that a supported version of BIND will build and run on the following systems: AIX 4.3, 5L CentOS 4, 4.5, 5 Darwin 9.0.0d1/ARM Debian 4 Fedora Core 5, 7 FreeBSD 6.1 HP-UX 11.23 PA MacOS X 10.4, 10.5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5 SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 Slackware 9, 10 SuSE 9, 10 To build, just ./configure make Do not use a parallel "make". Several environment variables that can be set before running configure will affect compilation: CC The C compiler to use. configure tries to figure out the right one for supported systems. CFLAGS C compiler flags. Defaults to include -g and/or -O2 as supported by the compiler. STD_CINCLUDES System header file directories. Can be used to specify where add-on thread or IPv6 support is, for example. Defaults to empty string. STD_CDEFINES Any additional preprocessor symbols you want defined. Defaults to empty string. Possible settings: Change the default syslog facility of named/lwresd. -DISC_FACILITY=LOG_LOCAL0 Enable DNSSEC signature chasing support in dig. -DDIG_SIGCHASE=1 (sets -DDIG_SIGCHASE_TD=1 and -DDIG_SIGCHASE_BU=1) Disable dropping queries from particular well known ports. -DNS_CLIENT_DROPPORT=0 Sibling glue checking in named-checkzone is enabled by default. To disable the default check set. -DCHECK_SIBLING=0 named-checkzone checks out-of-zone addresses by default. To disable this default set. -DCHECK_LOCAL=0 To create the default pid files in ${localstatedir}/run rather than ${localstatedir}/run/{named,lwresd}/ set. -DNS_RUN_PID_DIR=0 Enable workaround for Solaris kernel bug about /dev/poll -DISC_SOCKET_USE_POLLWATCH=1 The watch timeout is also configurable, e.g., -DISC_SOCKET_POLLWATCH_TIMEOUT=20 LDFLAGS Linker flags. Defaults to empty string. The following need to be set when cross compiling. BUILD_CC The native C compiler. BUILD_CFLAGS (optional) BUILD_CPPFLAGS (optional) Possible Settings: -DNEED_OPTARG=1 (optarg is not declared in <unistd.h>) BUILD_LDFLAGS (optional) BUILD_LIBS (optional) To build shared libraries, specify "--with-libtool" on the configure command line. For the server to support DNSSEC, you need to build it with crypto support. You must have OpenSSL 0.9.5a or newer installed and specify "--with-openssl" on the configure command line. If OpenSSL is installed under a nonstandard prefix, you can tell configure where to look for it using "--with-openssl=/prefix". On some platforms it is necessary to explictly request large file support to handle files bigger than 2GB. This can be done by "--enable-largefile" on the configure command line. On some platforms, BIND 9 can be built with multithreading support, allowing it to take advantage of multiple CPUs. You can specify whether to build a multithreaded BIND 9 by specifying "--enable-threads" or "--disable-threads" on the configure command line. The default is operating system dependent. Support for the "fixed" rrset-order option can be enabled or disabled by specifying "--enable-fixed-rrset" or "--disable-fixed-rrset" on the configure command line. The default is "disabled", to reduce memory footprint. If your operating system has integrated support for IPv6, it will be used automatically. If you have installed KAME IPv6 separately, use "--with-kame[=PATH]" to specify its location. "make install" will install "named" and the various BIND 9 libraries. By default, installation is into /usr/local, but this can be changed with the "--prefix" option when running "configure". You may specify the option "--sysconfdir" to set the directory where configuration files like "named.conf" go by default, and "--localstatedir" to set the default parent directory of "run/named.pid". For backwards compatibility with BIND 8, --sysconfdir defaults to "/etc" and --localstatedir defaults to "/var" if no --prefix option is given. If there is a --prefix option, sysconfdir defaults to "$prefix/etc" and localstatedir defaults to "$prefix/var". To see additional configure options, run "configure --help". Note that the help message does not reflect the BIND 8 compatibility defaults for sysconfdir and localstatedir. If you're planning on making changes to the BIND 9 source, you should also "make depend". If you're using Emacs, you might find "make tags" helpful. If you need to re-run configure please run "make distclean" first. This will ensure that all the option changes take. Building with gcc is not supported, unless gcc is the vendor's usual compiler (e.g. the various BSD systems, Linux). Known compiler issues: * gcc-3.2.1 and gcc-3.1.1 is known to cause problems with solaris-x86. * gcc prior to gcc-3.2.3 ultrasparc generates incorrect code at -02. * gcc-3.3.5 powerpc generates incorrect code at -02. * Irix, MipsPRO 7.4.1m is known to cause problems. A limited test suite can be run with "make test". Many of the tests require you to configure a set of virtual IP addresses on your system, and some require Perl; see bin/tests/system/README for details. SunOS 4 requires "printf" to be installed to make the shared libraries. sh-utils-1.16 provides a "printf" which compiles on SunOS 4. Documentation The BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual is included with the source distribution in DocBook XML and HTML format, in the doc/arm directory. Some of the programs in the BIND 9 distribution have man pages in their directories. In particular, the command line options of "named" are documented in /bin/named/named.8. There is now also a set of man pages for the lwres library. If you are upgrading from BIND 8, please read the migration notes in doc/misc/migration. If you are upgrading from BIND 4, read doc/misc/migration-4to9. Frequently asked questions and their answers can be found in FAQ. Additional information on various subjects can be found in the other README files.
