Audit the consistency of zone files, out of sync MX

by Maren S. Leizaola

Hello, What do you guys recommend to audit every resource record in a zone file against all the records in all the DNS. I want something that I feed the master zone file and then goes to each NS server and ensures that the records are correct in all of them. For some strange reason all my DNS servers have the same SOA Serial, but after deleting two MX records, some 4 out of 5 the DNS servers have not taken this update. I've yet to figure out the cause, but I see that SOA Serial is not to be trusted. Regards, Maren.

GLUE and additional records.

by Maren S. Leizaola

Hello, I am currently testing Knot on our zones and find that it does not give any of the additional records which contain the IP of the names servers ie knot servers donot provide Glue records. This is one good thing that Bind does at it reduces the number of queries a resolver has to make. Is there any way for us to be able to do this. Regards, Maren.

Knot DNS 1.4.3

by Marek Vavruša

Hi Everyone, I think the time is ripe for a small status update, preview of things to come and a new patch release. Sounds good? So, at the moment, our team at the CZ.NIC Labs is working towards the next major thing, but I'd like to reiterate that we didn't forget about the 1.4 and as of today we have a new release with several important backported bugfixes, here's the brief version: * Two bugs related to authenticated denial of existence proof with a certain combination of wildcard expansions triggering an assertion failure * Comparison of $ORIGIN and zone file in configuration is case insensitive * Corrupted journal data caused a cleanup failure during the zone loading In addition to the bugfixes, we have also slipped in a small enhancement - "include" statement in the configuration can include whole directory, this is useful if you have really a lot of includes in one place. Now a brief status update on what are we working on and what can you expect in the next few weeks/months. The next major release is going to happen later this spring and it's going to be focused on three things mostly - covering the code by tests, cleaning up and polishing existing features. There's going to be a feature or two, but that is not the main focus. The reason is the functionality we have piled up over the time has taken it's toll and now is the right time to sit back and make the features leaner and meaner (that includes usability as well), as that was always an integral idea behind Knot DNS. Plus less things means less things to break, right? I'd like to thank namely Petr Stastny and Olafur Gudmundsson (among others) for bugreports, ideas and thoughts.

Feature request: force zone retransfer

by Anand Buddhdev

Hi Knot developers, I have a feature request: I'd like a knotc command that will force Knot to transfer a zone that is configured as a slave. The only command I can issue at the moment is "refresh", but this will not transfer a zone if Knot has a higher serial than the master. Such a forced transfer command is useful to help recover from situations where due to some operational error on the master server, the serial number has gone back, and we deliberately need our Knot server to sync to that old serial number. Without this command, the only way to make Knot recover is to stop it, delete the zone file from disk and start it again. But this is not ideal on a running server with lots of zones, because the stop and start times can be quite high (in our case, 37s to stop, and 1m30s to start). Both BIND and NSD provide such commands to ignore the serial number check and force zone transfers. I'd love to see such a command for Knot too. Regards, Anand

Case handling of zone names and in $ORIGIN

by Olafur Gudmundsson

I started to play with the dnssec signing features in Knot. I had this in my .conf file B-100.tld { file "B-100.zone"; …. } In the B-100.zone file I had $ORIGIN B-100.tld. I get Jan 31 16:27:32 bigredone knot[31315]: [error] Zone 'B-100.tld.': mismatching origin in the zone file. Jan 31 16:27:32 bigredone knot[31315]: [error] Failed to load zone 'B-100.tld.'. When I changed to $ORIGIN b-100.tld. Same error When I changed the conf line for B-100 to b-100 zone got loaded, I when I changed Origin to upper case but kept the lower case in conf file then zone was loaded. Summary: conf file requires zone name to be lower case, origin can be either case. (not documented) I do not think this what users expect. Either respect the case that users present or downcase both zone name and name on $ORIGIN line Also I would be great to have knot-checkzone command that one can use to verify the syntax of zone with output to standard output.

DS records

by Sime Ramov

Hello, I'm using Knot DNSSEC automatic signing and all is well and working. How would one go about obtaining proper DS records for registrar glue with least amount of trouble? Thanks for Knot DNS, by far the most pleasant experience in comparison with all other DNS servers. I've had zero issues with it, flawless operation from the start!
