Hello everyone! Today, CZ.NIC Labs releases Knot DNS 2.0.0-beta. We finally managed to complete, stabilize, and document all new features of the upcoming Knot DNS version. We are aware of some glitches in this release, however we think that it is ready to be tested by a wider audience. There are two key features of Knot DNS 2.0: # New DNSSEC implementation I wrote quite a lot about the new DNSSEC in the 1.99.1 release announcement. Since then, only a few things changed. There was a bug in the ZSK rotation algorithm. The old DNSKEY was removed too soon possibly breaking the validation. This problem is resolved now. The keymgr utility has a new manual page. And the documentation was updated to reflect all changes. # New configuration format This change is quite significant for the future development of Knot DNS. And it will affect everyone using the software. We decided to switch from a custom configuration format to YAML. Internally, the configuration is stored in a binary database (LMDB). At the moment, you won't probably notice anything about the database. However we are working on a new interface, which will allow making changes into the configuration without a full server reload. If you have Knot DNS with thousands of zones, you will benefit this for sure. We don't support full YAML specification, but there is a certain level of compatibility. We plan to extend the support so you can generate the config from your favorite scripting language. Some configuration options (and configuration sections) were renamed. We changed the concept how the incoming and outgoing connections are configured. We split 'remotes' to 'remote' and 'acl'. 'remote' defines target for outgoing connection (zone transfer source, notification target). And 'acl' defines rules for accepting connections initiated by a remote client (outgoing transfer, incoming notification, and incoming update). At the moment, only one address can be specified for each 'remote' or 'acl'. In addition, we removed 'groups' as it was complicating the implementation. We are aware that the current state is not ideal. And we are looking for feedback and suggestions from the community. We are not just removing and changing things - we added support for zone templates, which is something a lot of our users asked for. A template allows you to configure options shared among multiple zones. A change in the template affects all zones, which use the template. To convert the configuration from the 1.6 to the 2.0 format, the knot1to2 tool is provided. The tool doesn't support conversion for answering modules (e.g. synth_record), but should handle anything else. Please, review the configuration after performing the automatic conversion. That's all, folks! Please, give it a try. Experiment with the new DNSSEC and play around with the new configuration. And most importantly, let us know what do you think. Thank you for using Knot DNS!

Work-around for Knot's configuration syntax

by Anand Buddhdev

I'm generating my Knot's config from a Jinja2 template, and I'm having a problem with one thing. For example, if I have a list of elements, [e1,e2,e3,e4], and I want to generate a "groups" config for these based on a condition, and I do: groups { mygroup { {% for x in list %} {% if condition %} {{ x }}, {% endif %} {% endfor %} } However, this results in a syntax error, because the last element ends with a comma, and then there's a closing bracket. I tried to insert the comma conditionally, by checking to see if it was the last element, but this can also fail if the last element didn't match the condition. So I thought about this ugly hack: groups { mygroup { {% for x in list %} {% if condition %} ,{{ x }} {% endif %} {% endfor %} } Notice that I have the comma *before* each element. This results in an opening brace, a comma, and then the other elements. My supposition is that Knot's syntax parser is okay with this, because it just sees a null first element. If I check this with knotc's "checkconf", it says the syntax is okay. Can I safely use such a config? Regards, Anand

Use of recvmmsg in Knot

by Anand Buddhdev

Dear Knot developers, In Knot 1.6.3, is it safe to leave out the "interfaces" section of the config on a multi-homed server? Will Knot enumerate all the addresses on the host and bind to them, or will it bind to 0.0.0.0 and ::? Secondly, if bound to 0.0.0.0 and ::, will Knot use recvmmsg correctly and set the source address in UDP reply packets to the address the query was sent to? Regards, Anand

key file format for nsupdate

by Andrew Stevenson

Hi, I am trying to use nsupdate from knot 1.6.1. I have generated key files using dnssec-keygen from BIND 9.9.5. i.e. dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-MD5 -b 256 -n HOST -C host.example.com Whenever I try to use the files with nsupdate -k <file> though I get: ; Error: failed to read key file: public key file is invalid I have also tried without the “-C” to dnssec-keygen. Are there different flags I need? Or does someone have an example of the file format required? Thanks, Andrew

[PATCH] Add "forced generic" dump style, and kdig +generic option

by Robert Edmonds

This patch adds a new "forced generic" dump style which dumps resource record types and data in the generic RFC 3597 representation format, even for known resource record types. A corresponding +generic option to kdig enables this dump style. Generic representation format is very handy when dealing with older DNS software that may not support a new resource record type, or with systems where it is more convenient to use the generic format even with known types. It is also a nice debugging / educational feature.

Knot DNS 1.6.2 patch release

by Jan Včelák

Hello everyone, on behalf of CZ.NIC Labs, I would like to announce Knot DNS 1.6.2. The patch release contains one new feature and a few small bug fixes. With the new version, a number of concurrent TCP clients connected to the server can be limited. The limit is set using the 'max-tcp-clients' configuration option in the 'system' section. Purpose of this setting is to avoid resource exhaustion when the server is under a load. And the default value for the option is 100. When the limit is hit, new connections are not being accepted for a few seconds. Active connections are not affected. Please note, that we have also slightly lowered defaults for TCP idling timeouts. As for the bug fixes: A possible file descriptor leak when terminating inactive TCP clients was fixed. Scheduled events for zones switched from slave mode to master mode are handled correctly. And compilation of Dnstap features on FreeBSD works now.

Knot DNS 1.99.1 (preview of DNSSEC with KASP)

by Jan Včelák

Hello everyone! After months of keeping our secrets, we would like to share with you a preview of a new DNSSEC implementation in Knot DNS. The new DNSSEC will be one of the key features for the upcoming Knot DNS 2.0. If you are watching our source repository, you may have noticed a tag v1.99.0 appearing silently at the end of 2014. At that time, Knot DNS was already using the newly implemented DNSSEC, but the only visible change was a different key format. And internally, GnuTLS/Nettle was replaced OpenSSL for cryptographic operations. Today, CZ.NIC Labs releases Knot DNS 1.99.1. The next step towards the 2.0. Knot DNS 1.99.1 adds initial support for DNSSEC KASP (Key And Signature Policy). This is our vision of real-world DNSSEC deployment. Essentially, you define a policy (used algorithm, key sizes, key lifetime, signature lifetime, etc.) and the server will do the heavy lifting. It will generate keys and publish/roll them correctly, so you don't have to compute and set timing meta-data on private keys manually. At the moment, the KASP support is quite limited: Single algorithm, single KSK, and single ZSK can be specified in the policy. The server is able to generate initial keys and perform ZSK rollovers (key pre-publish method). More features are coming soon. A documentation on KASP [1] is currently available on the project wiki, including the reference manual for a new management utility keymgr [2]. [1] https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/labs/knot/wikis/kasp-setup [2] https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/labs/knot/wikis/kasp-keymgr-reference Source archives are available as usual: https://secure.nic.cz/files/knot-dns/knot-1.99.1.tar.xz https://secure.nic.cz/files/knot-dns/knot-1.99.1.tar.gz Please note, that Knot DNS 1.99.1 is not ready to replace Knot DNS 1.6.x. We are looking forward to hear some feedback from you. And we are happy to answer all your questions and concerns. Best regards, Jan -- Jan Včelák, Knot DNS CZ.NIC Labs https://www.knot-dns.cz -------------------------------------------- Milešovská 5, 130 00 Praha 3, Czech Republic WWW: https://labs.nic.cz https://www.nic.cz

DNSSEC and slave zones?

by Jan-Piet Mens

Good evening, I don't seem to be able to configure Knot 1.6.1 to sign a zone it slaves in: example.com { file "/usr/local/etc/knot/aa/example.com.zone"; xfr-in home; dnssec-keydir "/usr/local/etc/knot/aa"; dnssec-enable on; } If I omit the two 'dnssec-*' parameters, the zone is slaved in. Adding them, however, results in no transfer; log shows: notice: [example.com] automatic DNSSEC signing enabled, disabling incoming XFRs Is it currently possible with Knot to sign a slaved zone? Regards, -JP
