4284. [bug] Some GeoIP options were incorrectly documented
using abbreviated forms which were not accepted by
named. The code has been updated to allow both
long and abbreviated forms. [RT #41381]
4235. [func] Added support in named for "dnstap", a fast method of
capturing and logging DNS traffic, and a new command
"dnstap-read" to read a dnstap log file. Use
"configure --enable-dnstap" to enable this
feature (note that this requires libprotobuf-c
and libfstrm). See the ARM for configuration details.
Thanks to Robert Edmonds of Farsight Security.
[RT #40211]
4224. [func] Added support for "dyndb", a new interface for loading
zone data from an external database, developed by
Red Hat for the FreeIPA project.
DynDB drivers fully implement the BIND database
API, and are capable of significantly better
performance and functionality than DLZ drivers,
while taking advantage of advanced database
features not available in BIND such as multi-master
replication.
Thanks to Adam Tkac and Petr Spacek of Red Hat.
[RT #35271]
4152. [func] Implement DNS COOKIE option. This replaces the
experimental SIT option of BIND 9.10. The following
named.conf directives are available: send-cookie,
cookie-secret, cookie-algorithm, nocookie-udp-size
and require-server-cookie. The following dig options
are available: +[no]cookie[=value] and +[no]badcookie.
[RT #39928]
3938. [func] Added quotas to be used in recursive resolvers
that are under high query load for names in zones
whose authoritative servers are nonresponsive or
are experiencing a denial of service attack.
- "fetches-per-server" limits the number of
simultaneous queries that can be sent to any
single authoritative server. The configured
value is a starting point; it is automatically
adjusted downward if the server is partially or
completely non-responsive. The algorithm used to
adjust the quota can be configured via the
"fetch-quota-params" option.
- "fetches-per-zone" limits the number of
simultaneous queries that can be sent for names
within a single domain. (Note: Unlike
"fetches-per-server", this value is not
self-tuning.)
- New stats counters have been added to count
queries spilled due to these quotas.
See the ARM for details of these options. [RT #37125]
experimental SIT option of BIND 9.10. The following
named.conf directives are avaliable: send-cookie,
cookie-secret, cookie-algorithm and nocookie-udp-size.
The following dig options are available:
+[no]cookie[=value] and +[no]badcookie. [RT #39928]
4124. [func] Log errors or warnings encountered when parsing the
internal default configuration. Clarify the logging
of errors and warnings encountered in rndc
addzone or modzone parameters. [RT #39440]
4080. [func] Completed change #4022, adding a "lock-file" option
to named.conf to override the default lock file,
in addition to the "named -X <filename>" command
line option. Setting the lock file to "none"
using either method disables the check completely.
[RT #37908]
4040. [func] Added server-side support for pipelined TCP
queries. TCP connections are no longer closed after
the first query received from a client. (The new
"keep-response-order" option allows clients to be
specified for which the old behavior will still be
used.) [RT #37821]
