Master-slave replication

by Bastien Durel

Hello I have some zones in 2 knots in a master-slave relation When I update zones in master, there are replications issues in slave: - sometime changed records are duplicated (old and new value) - sometime removed records persists - sometime the RRSIG records are duplicated (old and new value) I often have to erase slave zones and to restart knot to get correct zone. I update master zone via makefiles that re-create (unsigned) zone files and then reload knot via knotc What is my mistake ? Regards, -- Bastien

Re: [knot-dns-users] Parking page with a large number of zones pointing the the same file.

by Ondřej Surý

Hi Maren, it would never be the 'same' zone file, since you have different full labels (foo.example.net is different from foo.example.com) per zone after loading them into the memory. I would suggest that this use case scenario would be best served by some new query processing dynamic module[1] that you would configure for all those zones and that would always respond with the same data. 1.

Parking page with a large number of zones pointing the the same file.

by Maren S. Leizaola

Hello, I would like to know what the memory allocation/usage would be like if say I point 1M zones to the same zone file. Will it allocate memory for each of the zones or can it just allocate memory once as it is the same zone file ? Regards, Maren.

Like for example hidden master that can only sign the zone, but can't forward dynamic updates and such. That is not to say relying on mname is always the best. Truth is, I don't like the idea of authoritative servers forwarding messages, but it seems there are legitimate use cases for that. Maybe we could let the zone operator override the mname with the configuration and put a warning in there, or is there a complete error-proof solution I'm not aware of? > 3.

As of now, the zone is treated as master unless it has at least one remote in the "xfr-in" option. Maybe it's not very intuitive, but we have a new configuration (to allow remote configuration as well) in planning, so this could be something to consider. > There is a lot to discuss actually, for example, what to do with > DNSSec?

Re: [knot-dns-users] Knot DNS 1.5.0 first release candidate!

by Marek Vavruša

Hi Anand, I see this could be a problem, is the backoff causing the delays for failed zone transfers? There is a configuration option "background-workers" with which you can limit the number of parallel requests, but if you can email me some statistics about failed/passed transfers and transfers/second we can probably work out some more clever queuing.

Knot DNS 1.5.0 first release candidate!

by Marek Vavruša

Hi Everyone, with the 1.5.0 mostly feature-complete, us jolly folks at the CZ.NIC Labs thought that the time has come to share it with you in form of a first release candidate. I'd like to tell you a story first - I was browsing through the NEWS file, looking back at the things we've done since the 1.0.0 two years ago. Oddly enough, one of the new features was an "optimized memory consumption", and I've seen this repeat a few times. I would have thought that the Knot DNS consumes zero memory by now, but it appears it doesn't work that way. The law of diminishing return still applies, and the changes in between the versions seem almost insignificant. Sometimes at least (recently, I've added a benchmark of 1M small zones to our benchmark [1], which showed how much memory did we need per each zone). We addressed that. And despite the new preallocated packet buffers and other features, we still managed to cut down the resource requirements for TLD use cases for about 20%. My point is, while the 20% does not seem that impressive alone, but the steep release-over-release tendency of smaller memory footprint and faster startup/answer performance just shows the unrelenting attention to the seemingly insignificant stuff, like structure alignment or packet distribution. That's what we're commited to. Now, what's actually new in the 1.5.0? I've touted the major changes under the bonnet earlier this year and boy, we've been busy. One of the major changes is the new query processing, which allowed us to do several cool things. The query processing is broken down to the set of step, that are built like a LEGO, and each of the steps can be altered by the modules. We have two modules now - a module capable of synthesizing forward/reverse records according to the configuration template. This for example solves the IPv6 reverse records problem (SLAAC as well), as we don't have to generate massive zones, but rather create the records on the fly. The second module is a dnstap query/response log. Heard about the dnstap [2]? It's a pretty ingenious solution to the fine-grained capture of the DNS traffic without compromising the performance. By the way, the utilities (kdig) support it too and you can either capture or replay queries now. The good thing about modules is that it allows us to streamline (about 12K LOC less) the core functionality and extend the server at the some time. Think RRL, load balancing, geo-aware answers. What about other things? As for the visible changes, for instance a multi-master failover, improved logs, asynchronously loaded zones, much more accurate "knotc memstats" and "zonestatus" tools, new user manual ... I could probably bore you to death with the nitty gritty stuff, so check out the changelog to know more. That being said, I'd like to ask your help. The new stuff, like the asynchronous zone loading or logging, change the usability a little. Did we break your scripts or use case? Compliment, cheeky remark or angry rant? Please let us know, we'd like to get most of the kinks ironed out till the final release. Thank you.
