AXFR sender FINs 10% of the way through transfer

by Randy Bush

debian 12 # uname -a Linux rip.psg.com 6.1.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.76-1 (2024-02-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux # knotc --version knotc (Knot DNS), version 3.2.6 AXFR of a 750k zone from seattle to, lebanon, europe, iceland, southern africa, ...) fails over v5 and v6, i.e. somewhat larger rtt same AXFR seattle seattle or seattle to ashburn works v4 and v6. seattle to dallas v4 good, v6 fails, but it smells of an HE.net hop. when it fails, it is always within a hundred or so mytes of the same place, approximately 10% through the file. pcap of seattle->beirut at https://archive.psg.com/240323.beirut.pcap the last payload is in frame 217. at 219, seattle (b) sends a FIN/PSH/ACK. then at 251, after acking everything, beirut (nabil) FIN/ACKs seattle's FIN and we're dead. i am not positive this is the key question as my tcp fu is a bit rusty. but why did seattle send the FIN at 219, 10% through the file? randy

bitw signing as secondary

by Randy Bush

server runs a tld as primary, but slds are hidden primaries which the server pulls as a secondary, wants to sign bump-in-the-wire, and then make available to public secondaries. i think that the doc says this is doable, but instructions are insufficiently explicit for this idjit. i am fetching the slds into policy: - id: pol-256-256 algorithm: rsasha256 # was ecdsap256sha256 sra uses ecdsap384sha384 manual: on ... template: - id: signed storage: /var/lib/knot/sec-sign dnssec-signing: on dnssec-policy: pol-256-256 zonefile-sync: -1 zonefile-load: difference journal-content: all serial-policy: unixtime ... zone: - domain: sld.tld file: tld.sld # sorry, i like alpha sort in `ls` :) master: hidden-fetch template: signed acl: [allow-local, secondaries-push] the policy and template are those from signing primary zone; which i suspect is ill advised. i did generate keying as i would when signing a primary zone # keymgr sld.tld generate algorithm=rsasha256 ksk=yes zsk=yes 7a618eaf94ea1d903233cb547faa24bae8cb49a5 # knotc zone-reload sld.tld OK # keymgr sld.tld ds sld.tld.

Possible signing bug? Missing wildcard NSEC for RCODE 3 subdomains

by Matthew Pounsett

I got a report of an NSEC error from someone who tried to connect to a mistyped hostname. I've done a bit of poking, and it looks like we're seeing a missing wildcard NSEC for domain names that are two subdomains down from the apex, but not for subdomains of the apex. Though, I admit I can't see the problem myself. Querying by hand I see what looks like an identical response, but resolvers and DNSViz report problems with the deeper name. For example, nonexistent.dns-oarc.net and nonexistent.sjc.dns-oarc.net ( sjc.dns-oarc.net is a real subdomain with hosts in it, not an ENT)... kdig output and DNSViz results below. We're running knot/unknown,now 3.3.5-cznic.1~bullseye from deb.knot-dns.cz, and this is the relevant policy statement for the zone: policy: - id: ecdsa algorithm: ecdsap256sha256 ksk-lifetime: 365d ksk-submission: parent_zone_sbm zsk-lifetime: 30d rrsig-lifetime: 14d rrsig-refresh: 7d We are mid-KSK-roll, waiting on the DS submission check. Have I misconfigured something here, or is there a signing bug, or is this something else? Thanks!

Chained catalog zones

by Martin Huněk

Hi folks, Is it possible to chain multiple upstream catalog zones into one downstream one? I do have the following topology: Multiple DNS hidden masters <-> DNS signer / DNS master for public facing slaves <-> public facing slaves Can I define catalog zones on hidden masters and use them on public-facing signer/master to compose a catalog zone for the slaves? Best Regards, Martin Hunek Freenet Liberec, z.s.
