HI there,
I work for ThreatSTOP, a company that distributes DNS policies using RPZ to our customers.
One prospective customer uses knot-resolver and so they have asked us to look at what we
can support with respect to importing our data into knot-resolver.
I have read the documentation and I have done some testing with 5.7.2 that is the version
in Ubuntu 24.04
I have also read some of the documentation for version 6.x
I have a few questions
The first is fairly basic. What is the status of 6.x?
From what I can see it seems to be undergoing
development and not to be considered as stable. Is this correct? And therefore we should
not recommend it to our users?
Assuming that is the case, it's unfortunate
because RPZ support seems to be considerably better in 6.x. however I'm still a bit
confused as to the RPZ support and would appreciate being pointed to a spec. The 6.x
documentation was not clear to me
Also I have questions about policy limitations, which I don't see in the documentation
for 5.x
How large can an RPZ be?
How many policies can you have?
For example I'd like an ALLOW, a DENY and perhaps one to three A record rewrite
policies. The total across all RPZs would be in the 500k-1M records.
Also assuming it is supported, what are the performance impacts of large (say 500k+) RPZ
policies?
I intend to test some of this, but if there are known limits that can be shown that will
help both the testing and the recommendations to our customers
Finally is there a place to publicize a script that does a zone transfer of a policy from
an external server (e.g. ours) and outputs 3 or 4 zones in the right format for
knot-resolver to import?
Regards
Francis
