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!
Matt
