The format +and meaning of these messages is specified in :rfc:`2136`. + +Dynamic update is enabled by including an :any:`allow-update` or an +:any:`update-policy` clause in the :any:`zone` statement. + +If the zone's :any:`update-policy` is set to ``local``, updates to the zone +are permitted for the key ``local-ddns``, which is generated by +:iscman:`named` at startup. See :ref:`dynamic_update_policies` for more details. + +Dynamic updates using Kerberos-signed requests can be made using the +TKEY/GSS protocol, either by setting the :any:`tkey-gssapi-keytab` option +or by setting both the :any:`tkey-gssapi-credential` and +:any:`tkey-domain` options. Once enabled, Kerberos-signed requests are +matched against the update policies for the zone, using the Kerberos +principal as the signer for the request. + +Updating of secure zones (zones using DNSSEC) follows :rfc:`3007`: RRSIG, +NSEC, and NSEC3 records affected by updates are automatically regenerated +by the server using an online zone key. Update authorization is based on +transaction signatures and an explicit server policy. + +.. _journal: + +The Journal File +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +All changes made to a zone using dynamic update are stored in the zone's +journal file. This file is automatically created by the server when the +first dynamic update takes place. The name of the journal file is formed +by appending the extension ``.jnl`` to the name of the corresponding +zone file unless specifically overridden. The journal file is in a +binary format and should not be edited manually. + +The server also occasionally writes ("dumps") the complete contents +of the updated zone to its zone file. This is not done immediately after +each dynamic update because that would be too slow when a large zone is +updated frequently. Instead, the dump is delayed by up to 15 minutes, +allowing additional updates to take place. During the dump process, +transient files are created with the extensions ``.jnw`` and +``.jbk``; under ordinary circumstances, these are removed when the +dump is complete, and can be safely ignored. + +When a server is restarted after a shutdown or crash, it replays the +journal file to incorporate into the zone any updates that took place +after the last zone dump. + +Changes that result from incoming incremental zone transfers are also +journaled in a similar way. + +The zone files of dynamic zones cannot normally be edited by hand +because they are not guaranteed to contain the most recent dynamic +changes; those are only in the journal file. The only way to ensure +that the zone file of a dynamic zone is up-to-date is to run +:option:`rndc stop`. + +To make changes to a dynamic zone manually, follow these steps: +first, disable dynamic updates to the zone using +:option:`rndc freeze zone `. This updates the zone file with the +changes stored in its ``.jnl`` file. Then, edit the zone file. Finally, run +:option:`rndc thaw zone ` to reload the changed zone and re-enable dynamic +updates. + +:option:`rndc sync zone ` updates the zone file with changes from the +journal file without stopping dynamic updates; this may be useful for +viewing the current zone state. To remove the ``.jnl`` file after +updating the zone file, use :option:`rndc sync -clean `. + +.. _notify: + +NOTIFY +------ + +DNS NOTIFY is a mechanism that allows primary servers to notify their +secondary servers of changes to a zone's data. In response to a NOTIFY message +from a primary server, the secondary checks to see that its version of +the zone is the current version and, if not, initiates a zone transfer. + +For more information about DNS NOTIFY, see the description of the +:namedconf:ref:`notify` and :namedconf:ref`also-notify` statements. +The NOTIFY protocol is specified in :rfc:`1996`. + +.. note:: + + As a secondary zone can also be a primary to other secondaries, :iscman:`named`, by + default, sends NOTIFY messages for every zone it loads. + +.. _incremental_zone_transfers: + +Incremental Zone Transfers (IXFR) +--------------------------------- + +The incremental zone transfer (IXFR) protocol is a way for secondary servers +to transfer only changed data, instead of having to transfer an entire +zone. The IXFR protocol is specified in :rfc:`1995`. + +When acting as a primary server, BIND 9 supports IXFR for those zones where the +necessary change history information is available. These include primary +zones maintained by dynamic update and secondary zones whose data was +obtained by IXFR. For manually maintained primary zones, and for secondary +zones obtained by performing a full zone transfer (AXFR), IXFR is +supported only if the option :any:`ixfr-from-differences` is set to +``yes``. + +When acting as a secondary server, BIND 9 attempts to use IXFR unless it is +explicitly disabled. For more information about disabling IXFR, see the +description of the :any:`request-ixfr` clause of the :namedconf:ref:`server` statement. + +When a secondary server receives a zone via AXFR, it creates a new copy of the +zone database and then swaps it into place; during the loading process, queries +continue to be served from the old database with no interference. When receiving +a zone via IXFR, however, changes are applied to the running zone, which may +degrade query performance during the transfer. If a server receiving an IXFR +request determines that the response size would be similar in size to an AXFR +response, it may wish to send AXFR instead. The threshold at which this +determination is made can be configured using the +:any:`max-ixfr-ratio` option. + +.. _split_dns: + +Split DNS +--------- + +Setting up different views of the DNS space to internal +and external resolvers is usually referred to as a *split DNS* setup. +There are several reasons an organization might want to set up its DNS +this way. + +One common reason to use split DNS is to hide +"internal" DNS information from "external" clients on the Internet. +There is some debate as to whether this is actually useful. +Internal DNS information leaks out in many ways (via email headers, for +example) and most savvy "attackers" can find the information they need +using other means. However, since listing addresses of internal servers +that external clients cannot possibly reach can result in connection +delays and other annoyances, an organization may choose to use split +DNS to present a consistent view of itself to the outside world. + +Another common reason for setting up a split DNS system is to allow +internal networks that are behind filters or in :rfc:`1918` space (reserved +IP space, as documented in :rfc:`1918`) to resolve DNS on the Internet. +Split DNS can also be used to allow mail from outside back into the +internal network. + +.. _split_dns_sample: + +Example Split DNS Setup +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Let's say a company named *Example, Inc.* (``example.com``) has several +corporate sites that have an internal network with reserved Internet +Protocol (IP) space and an external demilitarized zone (DMZ), or +"outside" section of a network, that is available to the public. + +Example, Inc. wants its internal clients to be able to resolve +external hostnames and to exchange mail with people on the outside. The +company also wants its internal resolvers to have access to certain +internal-only zones that are not available at all outside of the +internal network. + +To accomplish this, the company sets up two sets of name +servers. One set is on the inside network (in the reserved IP +space) and the other set is on bastion hosts, which are "proxy" +hosts in the DMZ that can talk to both sides of its network. + +The internal servers are configured to forward all queries, except +queries for ``site1.internal``, ``site2.internal``, +``site1.example.com``, and ``site2.example.com``, to the servers in the +DMZ. These internal servers have complete sets of information for +``site1.example.com``, ``site2.example.com``, ``site1.internal``, and +``site2.internal``. + +To protect the ``site1.internal`` and ``site2.internal`` domains, the +internal name servers must be configured to disallow all queries to +these domains from any external hosts, including the bastion hosts. + +The external servers, which are on the bastion hosts, are configured +to serve the "public" version of the ``site1.example.com`` and ``site2.example.com`` +zones. This could include things such as the host records for public +servers (``www.example.com`` and ``ftp.example.com``) and mail exchange +(MX) records (``a.mx.example.com`` and ``b.mx.example.com``). + +In addition, the public ``site1.example.com`` and ``site2.example.com`` zones should +have special MX records that contain wildcard (``*``) records pointing to +the bastion hosts. This is needed because external mail servers +have no other way of determining how to deliver mail to those internal +hosts. With the wildcard records, the mail is delivered to the +bastion host, which can then forward it on to internal hosts. + +Here's an example of a wildcard MX record: + +:: + + * IN MX 10 external1.example.com. + +Now that they accept mail on behalf of anything in the internal network, +the bastion hosts need to know how to deliver mail to internal +hosts. The resolvers on the bastion +hosts need to be configured to point to the internal name servers +for DNS resolution. + +Queries for internal hostnames are answered by the internal servers, +and queries for external hostnames are forwarded back out to the DNS +servers on the bastion hosts. + +For all of this to work properly, internal clients need to be +configured to query *only* the internal name servers for DNS queries. +This could also be enforced via selective filtering on the network. + +If everything has been set properly, Example, Inc.'s internal clients +are now able to: + +- Look up any hostnames in the ``site1.example.com`` and ``site2.example.com`` + zones. + +- Look up any hostnames in the ``site1.internal`` and + ``site2.internal`` domains. + +- Look up any hostnames on the Internet. + +- Exchange mail with both internal and external users. + +Hosts on the Internet are able to: + +- Look up any hostnames in the ``site1.example.com`` and ``site2.example.com`` + zones. + +- Exchange mail with anyone in the ``site1.example.com`` and ``site2.example.com`` + zones. + +Here is an example configuration for the setup just described above. +Note that this is only configuration information; for information on how +to configure the zone files, see :ref:`sample_configuration`. + +Internal DNS server config: + +:: + + + acl internals { 172.16.72.0/24; 192.168.1.0/24; }; + + acl externals { bastion-ips-go-here; }; + + options { + ... + ... + forward only; + // forward to external servers + forwarders { + bastion-ips-go-here; + }; + // sample allow-transfer (no one) + allow-transfer { none; }; + // restrict query access + allow-query { internals; externals; }; + // restrict recursion + allow-recursion { internals; }; + ... + ... + }; + + // sample primary zone + zone "site1.example.com" { + type primary; + file "m/site1.example.com"; + // do normal iterative resolution (do not forward) + forwarders { }; + allow-query { internals; externals; }; + allow-transfer { internals; }; + }; + + // sample secondary zone + zone "site2.example.com" { + type secondary; + file "s/site2.example.com"; + primaries { 172.16.72.3; }; + forwarders { }; + allow-query { internals; externals; }; + allow-transfer { internals; }; + }; + + zone "site1.internal" { + type primary; + file "m/site1.internal"; + forwarders { }; + allow-query { internals; }; + allow-transfer { internals; } + }; + + zone "site2.internal" { + type secondary; + file "s/site2.internal"; + primaries { 172.16.72.3; }; + forwarders { }; + allow-query { internals }; + allow-transfer { internals; } + }; + +External (bastion host) DNS server configuration: + +:: + + acl internals { 172.16.72.0/24; 192.168.1.0/24; }; + + acl externals { bastion-ips-go-here; }; + + options { + ... + ... + // sample allow-transfer (no one) + allow-transfer { none; }; + // default query access + allow-query { any; }; + // restrict cache access + allow-query-cache { internals; externals; }; + // restrict recursion + allow-recursion { internals; externals; }; + ... + ... + }; + + // sample secondary zone + zone "site1.example.com" { + type primary; + file "m/site1.foo.com"; + allow-transfer { internals; externals; }; + }; + + zone "site2.example.com" { + type secondary; + file "s/site2.foo.com"; + primaries { another_bastion_host_maybe; }; + allow-transfer { internals; externals; } + }; + +In the ``resolv.conf`` (or equivalent) on the bastion host(s): + +:: + + search ... + nameserver 172.16.72.2 + nameserver 172.16.72.3 + nameserver 172.16.72.4 + +.. _ipv6: + +IPv6 Support in BIND 9 +---------------------- + +BIND 9 fully supports all currently defined forms of IPv6 name-to-address +and address-to-name lookups. It also uses IPv6 addresses to +make queries when running on an IPv6-capable system. + +For forward lookups, BIND 9 supports only AAAA records. :rfc:`3363` +deprecated the use of A6 records, and client-side support for A6 records +was accordingly removed from BIND 9. However, authoritative BIND 9 name +servers still load zone files containing A6 records correctly, answer +queries for A6 records, and accept zone transfer for a zone containing +A6 records. + +For IPv6 reverse lookups, BIND 9 supports the traditional "nibble" +format used in the ``ip6.arpa`` domain, as well as the older, deprecated +``ip6.int`` domain. Older versions of BIND 9 supported the "binary label" +(also known as "bitstring") format, but support of binary labels has +been completely removed per :rfc:`3363`. Many applications in BIND 9 do not +understand the binary label format at all anymore, and return an +error if one is given. In particular, an authoritative BIND 9 name server will +not load a zone file containing binary labels. + +Address Lookups Using AAAA Records +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The IPv6 AAAA record is a parallel to the IPv4 A record, and, unlike the +deprecated A6 record, specifies the entire IPv6 address in a single +record. For example: + +:: + + $ORIGIN example.com. + host 3600 IN AAAA 2001:db8::1 + +Use of IPv4-in-IPv6 mapped addresses is not recommended. If a host has +an IPv4 address, use an A record, not a AAAA, with +``::ffff:192.168.42.1`` as the address. + +Address-to-Name Lookups Using Nibble Format +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When looking up an address in nibble format, the address components are +simply reversed, just as in IPv4, and ``ip6.arpa.`` is appended to the +resulting name. For example, the following commands produce a reverse name +lookup for a host with address ``2001:db8::1``: + +:: + + $ORIGIN 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. + 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 14400 IN PTR ( + host.example.com. ) -- cgit v1.2.3
