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
|
|

BIND 9.6.0
|
|
|
|
BIND 9.6.0 includes a number of changes from BIND 9.5 and earlier
|
|
releases, including:
|
|
|
|
Full NSEC3 support
|
|
|
|
Automatic zone re-signing
|
|
|
|
New update-policy methods tcp-self and 6to4-self
|
|
|
|
The BIND 8 resolver library, libbind, has been removed from the
|
|
BIND 9 distribution and is now available as a separate download.
|
|
|
|
Change the default pid file location from /var/run to
|
|
/var/run/{named,lwresd} for improved chroot/setuid support.
|
|
|
|
BIND 9.5.0
|
|
|
|
BIND 9.5.0 has a number of new features over 9.4,
|
|
including:
|
|
|
|
GSS-TSIG support (RFC 3645).
|
|
|
|
DHCID support.
|
|
|
|
Experimental http server and statistics support for named via xml.
|
|
|
|
More detailed statistics counters including those supported in BIND 8.
|
|
|
|
Faster ACL processing.
|
|
|
|
Use Doxygen to generate internal documentation.
|
|
|
|
Efficient LRU cache-cleaning mechanism.
|
|
|
|
NSID support.
|
|
|
|
BIND 9.4.0
|
|
|
|
BIND 9.4.0 has a number of new features over 9.3,
|
|
including:
|
|
|
|
Implemented "additional section caching (or acache)", an
|
|
internal cache framework for additional section content to
|
|
improve response performance. Several configuration options
|
|
were provided to control the behavior.
|
|
|
|
New notify type 'master-only'. Enable notify for master
|
|
zones only.
|
|
|
|
Accept 'notify-source' style syntax for query-source.
|
|
|
|
rndc now allows addresses to be set in the server clauses.
|
|
|
|
New option "allow-query-cache". This lets "allow-query"
|
|
be used to specify the default zone access level rather
|
|
than having to have every zone override the global value.
|
|
"allow-query-cache" can be set at both the options and view
|
|
levels. If "allow-query-cache" is not set then "allow-recursion"
|
|
is used if set, otherwise "allow-query" is used if set
|
|
unless "recursion no;" is set in which case "none;" is used,
|
|
otherwise the default (localhost; localnets;) is used.
|
|
|
|
rndc: the source address can now be specified.
|
|
|
|
ixfr-from-differences now takes master and slave in addition
|
|
to yes and no at the options and view levels.
|
|
|
|
Allow the journal's name to be changed via named.conf.
|
|
|
|
'rndc notify zone [class [view]]' resend the NOTIFY messages
|
|
for the specified zone.
|
|
|
|
'dig +trace' now randomly selects the next servers to try.
|
|
Report if there is a bad delegation.
|
|
|
|
Improve check-names error messages.
|
|
|
|
Make public the function to read a key file, dst_key_read_public().
|
|
|
|
dig now returns the byte count for axfr/ixfr.
|
|
|
|
allow-update is now settable at the options / view level.
|
|
|
|
named-checkconf now checks the logging configuration.
|
|
|
|
host now can turn on memory debugging flags with '-m'.
|
|
|
|
Don't send notify messages to self.
|
|
|
|
Perform sanity checks on NS records which refer to 'in zone' names.
|
|
|
|
New zone option "notify-delay". Specify a minimum delay
|
|
between sets of NOTIFY messages.
|
|
|
|
Extend adjusting TTL warning messages.
|
|
|
|
Named and named-checkzone can now both check for non-terminal
|
|
wildcard records.
|
|
|
|
"rndc freeze/thaw" now freezes/thaws all zones.
|
|
|
|
named-checkconf now check acls to verify that they only
|
|
refer to existing acls.
|
|
|
|
The server syntax has been extended to support a range of
|
|
servers.
|
|
|
|
Report differences between hints and real NS rrset and
|
|
associated address records.
|
|
|
|
Preserve the case of domain names in rdata during zone
|
|
transfers.
|
|
|
|
Restructured the data locking framework using architecture
|
|
dependent atomic operations (when available), improving
|
|
response performance on multi-processor machines significantly.
|
|
x86, x86_64, alpha, powerpc, and mips are currently supported.
|
|
|
|
UNIX domain controls are now supported.
|
|
|
|
Add support for additional zone file formats for improving
|
|
loading performance. The masterfile-format option in
|
|
named.conf can be used to specify a non-default format. A
|
|
separate command named-compilezone was provided to generate
|
|
zone files in the new format. Additionally, the -I and -O
|
|
options for dnssec-signzone specify the input and output
|
|
formats.
|
|
|
|
dnssec-signzone can now randomize signature end times
|
|
(dnssec-signzone -j jitter).
|
|
|
|
Add support for CH A record.
|
|
|
|
Add additional zone data constancy checks. named-checkzone
|
|
has extended checking of NS, MX and SRV record and the hosts
|
|
they reference. named has extended post zone load checks.
|
|
New zone options: check-mx and integrity-check.
|
|
|
|
|
|
edns-udp-size can now be overridden on a per server basis.
|
|
|
|
dig can now specify the EDNS version when making a query.
|
|
|
|
Added framework for handling multiple EDNS versions.
|
|
|
|
Additional memory debugging support to track size and mctx
|
|
arguments.
|
|
|
|
Detect duplicates of UDP queries we are recursing on and
|
|
drop them. New stats category "duplicates".
|
|
|
|
"USE INTERNAL MALLOC" is now runtime selectable.
|
|
|
|
The lame cache is now done on a <qname,qclass,qtype> basis
|
|
as some servers only appear to be lame for certain query
|
|
types.
|
|
|
|
Limit the number of recursive clients that can be waiting
|
|
for a single query (<qname,qtype,qclass>) to resolve. New
|
|
options clients-per-query and max-clients-per-query.
|
|
|
|
dig: report the number of extra bytes still left in the
|
|
packet after processing all the records.
|
|
|
|
Support for IPSECKEY rdata type.
|
|
|
|
Raise the UDP recieve buffer size to 32k if it is less than 32k.
|
|
|
|
x86 and x86_64 now have seperate atomic locking implementations.
|
|
|
|
named-checkconf now validates update-policy entries.
|
|
|
|
Attempt to make the amount of work performed in a iteration
|
|
self tuning. The covers nodes clean from the cache per
|
|
iteration, nodes written to disk when rewriting a master
|
|
file and nodes destroyed per iteration when destroying a
|
|
zone or a cache.
|
|
|
|
ISC string copy API.
|
|
|
|
Automatic empty zone creation for D.F.IP6.ARPA and friends.
|
|
Note: RFC 1918 zones are not yet covered by this but are
|
|
likely to be in a future release.
|
|
|
|
New options: empty-server, empty-contact, empty-zones-enable
|
|
and disable-empty-zone.
|
|
|
|
dig now has a '-q queryname' and '+showsearch' options.
|
|
|
|
host/nslookup now continue (default)/fail on SERVFAIL.
|
|
|
|
dig now warns if 'RA' is not set in the answer when 'RD'
|
|
was set in the query. host/nslookup skip servers that fail
|
|
to set 'RA' when 'RD' is set unless a server is explicitly
|
|
set.
|
|
|
|
Integrate contibuted DLZ code into named.
|
|
|
|
Integrate contibuted IDN code from JPNIC.
|
|
|
|
libbind: corresponds to that from BIND 8.4.7.
|
|
|
|
BIND 9.3.0
|
|
|
|
BIND 9.3.0 has a number of new features over 9.2,
|
|
including:
|
|
|
|
DNSSEC is now DS based (RFC 3658).
|
|
See also RFC 3845, doc/draft/draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-*.
|
|
|
|
DNSSEC lookaside validation.
|
|
|
|
check-names is now implemented.
|
|
rrset-order in more complete.
|
|
|
|
IPv4/IPv6 transition support, dual-stack-servers.
|
|
|
|
IXFR deltas can now be generated when loading master files,
|
|
ixfr-from-differences.
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to specify the size of a journal, max-journal-size.
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to define a named set of master servers to be
|
|
used in masters clause, masters.
|
|
|
|
The advertised EDNS UDP size can now be set, edns-udp-size.
|
|
|
|
allow-v6-synthesis has been obsoleted.
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
* Zones containing MD and MF will now be rejected.
|
|
* dig, nslookup name. now report "Not Implemented" as
|
|
NOTIMP rather than NOTIMPL. This will have impact on scripts
|
|
that are looking for NOTIMPL.
|
|
|
|
libbind: corresponds to that from BIND 8.4.5.
|
|
|
|
BIND 9.2.0
|
|
|
|
BIND 9.2.0 has a number of new features over 9.1,
|
|
including:
|
|
|
|
- The size of the cache can now be limited using the
|
|
"max-cache-size" option.
|
|
|
|
- The server can now automatically convert RFC1886-style
|
|
recursive lookup requests into RFC2874-style lookups,
|
|
when enabled using the new option "allow-v6-synthesis".
|
|
This allows stub resolvers that support AAAA records
|
|
but not A6 record chains or binary labels to perform
|
|
lookups in domains that make use of these IPv6 DNS
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
- Performance has been improved.
|
|
|
|
- The man pages now use the more portable "man" macros
|
|
rather than the "mandoc" macros, and are installed
|
|
by "make install".
|
|
|
|
- The named.conf parser has been completely rewritten.
|
|
It now supports "include" directives in more
|
|
places such as inside "view" statements, and it no
|
|
longer has any reserved words.
|
|
|
|
- The "rndc status" command is now implemented.
|
|
|
|
- rndc can now be configured automatically.
|
|
|
|
- A BIND 8 compatible stub resolver library is now
|
|
included in lib/bind.
|
|
|
|
- OpenSSL has been removed from the distribution. This
|
|
means that to use DNSSEC, OpenSSL must be installed and
|
|
the --with-openssl option must be supplied to configure.
|
|
This does not apply to the use of TSIG, which does not
|
|
require OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
- The source distribution now builds on Windows.
|
|
See win32utils/readme1.txt and win32utils/win32-build.txt
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
This distribution also includes a new lightweight stub
|
|
resolver library and associated resolver daemon that fully
|
|
support forward and reverse lookups of both IPv4 and IPv6
|
|
addresses. This library is considered experimental and
|
|
is not a complete replacement for the BIND 8 resolver library.
|
|
Applications that use the BIND 8 res_* functions to perform
|
|
DNS lookups or dynamic updates still need to be linked against
|
|
the BIND 8 libraries. For DNS lookups, they can also use the
|
|
new "getrrsetbyname()" API.
|
|
|
|
BIND 9.2 is capable of acting as an authoritative server
|
|
for DNSSEC secured zones. This functionality is believed to
|
|
be stable and complete except for lacking support for
|
|
verifications involving wildcard records in secure zones.
|
|
|
|
When acting as a caching server, BIND 9.2 can be configured
|
|
to perform DNSSEC secure resolution on behalf of its clients.
|
|
This part of the DNSSEC implementation is still considered
|
|
experimental. For detailed information about the state of the
|
|
DNSSEC implementation, see the file doc/misc/dnssec.
|
|
|
|
There are a few known bugs:
|
|
|
|
On some systems, IPv6 and IPv4 sockets interact in
|
|
unexpected ways. For details, see doc/misc/ipv6.
|
|
To reduce the impact of these problems, the server
|
|
no longer listens for requests on IPv6 addresses
|
|
by default. If you need to accept DNS queries over
|
|
IPv6, you must specify "listen-on-v6 { any; };"
|
|
in the named.conf options statement.
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD prior to 4.2 (and 4.2 if running as non-root)
|
|
and OpenBSD prior to 2.8 log messages like
|
|
"fcntl(8, F_SETFL, 4): Inappropriate ioctl for device".
|
|
This is due to a bug in "/dev/random" and impacts the
|
|
server's DNSSEC support.
|
|
|
|
OS X 10.1.4 (Darwin 5.4), OS X 10.1.5 (Darwin 5.5) and
|
|
OS X 10.2 (Darwin 6.0) reports errors like
|
|
"fcntl(3, F_SETFL, 4): Operation not supported by device".
|
|
This is due to a bug in "/dev/random" and impacts the
|
|
server's DNSSEC support.
|
|
|
|
--with-libtool does not work on AIX.
|
|
|
|
A bug in some versions of the Microsoft DNS server can cause zone
|
|
transfers from a BIND 9 server to a W2K server to fail. For details,
|
|
see the "Zone Transfers" section in doc/misc/migration.
|
|
|
|
For a detailed list of user-visible changes from
|
|
previous releases, see the CHANGES file.

|
|
|
|
|
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 and 4.0-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

|
|
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:
|

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.
