      <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 configuration is broadly similar
      to <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8; however, there are a few new
      areas
      of configuration, such as views. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
      8 configuration files should work with few alterations in <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
      9, although more complex configurations should be reviewed to check
      if they can be more efficiently implemented using the new features
      found in <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9.
    </p>
<p>
      <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 4 configuration files can be
      converted to the new format
      using the shell script
      <code class="filename">contrib/named-bootconf/named-bootconf.sh</code>.

                  scope zones must be disambiguated by an appropriate
                  zone ID with the percent character (`%') as
                  delimiter.  It is strongly recommended to use
                  string zone names rather than numeric identifiers,
                  in order to be robust against system configuration
                  changes.  However, since there is no standard
                  mapping for such names and identifier values,
                  currently only interface names as link identifiers
                  are supported, assuming one-to-one mapping between
                  interfaces and links.  For example, a link-local
                  address <span><strong class="command">fe80::1</strong></span> on the link
                  attached to the interface <span><strong class="command">ne0</strong></span>
                  can be specified as <span><strong class="command">fe80::1%ne0</strong></span>.
                  Note that on most systems link-local addresses
                  always have the ambiguity, and need to be
                  disambiguated.

<p>
            Address match lists are primarily used to determine access
            control for various server operations. They are also used in
            the <span><strong class="command">listen-on</strong></span> and <span><strong class="command">sortlist</strong></span>
            statements. The elements which constitute an address match
            list can be any of the following:
          </p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li>an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)</li>
<li>an IP prefix (in `/' notation)</li>
<li>
                a key ID, as defined by the <span><strong class="command">key</strong></span>
                statement
              </li>
<li>the name of an address match list defined with
                the <span><strong class="command">acl</strong></span> statement
              </li>
<li>a nested address match list enclosed in braces</li>
</ul></div>
<p>
            Elements can be negated with a leading exclamation mark (`!'),
            and the match list names "any", "none", "localhost", and
            "localnets" are predefined. More information on those names
            can be found in the description of the acl statement.
          </p>
<p>
            The addition of the key clause made the name of this syntactic
            element something of a misnomer, since security keys can be used
            to validate access without regard to a host or network address.
            Nonetheless, the term "address match list" is still used
            throughout the documentation.
          </p>
<p>
            When a given IP address or prefix is compared to an address
            match list, the comparison takes place in approximately O(1)
            time.  However, key comparisons require that the list of keys
            be traversed until a matching key is found, and therefore may
            be somewhat slower.
          </p>
<p>
            The interpretation of a match depends on whether the list is being
            used for access control, defining <span><strong class="command">listen-on</strong></span> ports, or in a
            <span><strong class="command">sortlist</strong></span>, and whether the element was negated.
          </p>
<p>
            When used as an access control list, a non-negated match
            allows access and a negated match denies access. If
            there is no match, access is denied. The clauses
            <span><strong class="command">allow-notify</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">allow-recursion</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">allow-recursion-on</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">allow-query</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">allow-query-on</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">allow-query-cache</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">allow-query-cache-on</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">allow-transfer</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">allow-update</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">allow-update-forwarding</strong></span>, and
            <span><strong class="command">blackhole</strong></span> all use address match
            lists.  Similarly, the <span><strong class="command">listen-on</strong></span> option will cause the
            server to refuse queries on any of the machine's
            addresses which do not match the list.
          </p>
<p>
            Order of insertion is significant.  If more than one element
            in an ACL is found to match a given IP address or prefix,
            preference will be given to the one that came
            <span class="emphasis"><em>first</em></span> in the ACL definition.
            Because of this first-match behavior, an element that
            defines a subset of another element in the list should
            come before the broader element, regardless of whether
            either is negated. For example, in
            <span><strong class="command">1.2.3/24; ! 1.2.3.13;</strong></span>
            the 1.2.3.13 element is completely useless because the
            algorithm will match any lookup for 1.2.3.13 to the 1.2.3/24
            element.  Using <span><strong class="command">! 1.2.3.13; 1.2.3/24</strong></span> fixes
            that problem by having 1.2.3.13 blocked by the negation, but
            all other 1.2.3.* hosts fall through.

          </p>
<p>
            C-style comments start with the two characters /* (slash,
            star) and end with */ (star, slash). Because they are completely
            delimited with these characters, they can be used to comment only
            a portion of a line or to span multiple lines.
          </p>
<p>
            C-style comments cannot be nested. For example, the following
            is not valid because the entire comment ends with the first */:

            C++-style comments start with the two characters // (slash,
            slash) and continue to the end of the physical line. They cannot
            be continued across multiple physical lines; to have one logical
            comment span multiple lines, each line must use the // pair.
            For example:
          </p>
<p>

</p>
<pre class="programlisting">// This is the start of a comment.  The next line
// is a new comment, even though it is logically
// part of the previous comment.
</pre>
<p>

          </p>
<p>
            Shell-style (or perl-style, if you prefer) comments start
            with the character <code class="literal">#</code> (number sign)
            and continue to the end of the
            physical line, as in C++ comments.
            For example:
          </p>
<p>

</p>
<pre class="programlisting"># This is the start of a comment.  The next line
# is a new comment, even though it is logically
# part of the previous comment.

        A <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 configuration consists of
        statements and comments.
        Statements end with a semicolon. Statements and comments are the
        only elements that can appear without enclosing braces. Many
        statements contain a block of sub-statements, which are also
        terminated with a semicolon.

<p>
          The <span><strong class="command">controls</strong></span> statement declares control
          channels to be used by system administrators to control the
          operation of the name server. These control channels are
          used by the <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> utility to send
          commands to and retrieve non-DNS results from a name server.
        </p>
<p>
          An <span><strong class="command">inet</strong></span> control channel is a TCP socket
          listening at the specified <span><strong class="command">ip_port</strong></span> on the
          specified <span><strong class="command">ip_addr</strong></span>, which can be an IPv4 or IPv6
          address.  An <span><strong class="command">ip_addr</strong></span> of <code class="literal">*</code> (asterisk) is
          interpreted as the IPv4 wildcard address; connections will be
          accepted on any of the system's IPv4 addresses.
          To listen on the IPv6 wildcard address,
          use an <span><strong class="command">ip_addr</strong></span> of <code class="literal">::</code>.
          If you will only use <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> on the local host,
          using the loopback address (<code class="literal">127.0.0.1</code>
          or <code class="literal">::1</code>) is recommended for maximum security.
        </p>
<p>
          If no port is specified, port 953 is used. The asterisk
          "<code class="literal">*</code>" cannot be used for <span><strong class="command">ip_port</strong></span>.
        </p>
<p>
          The ability to issue commands over the control channel is
          restricted by the <span><strong class="command">allow</strong></span> and
          <span><strong class="command">keys</strong></span> clauses.
          Connections to the control channel are permitted based on the
          <span><strong class="command">address_match_list</strong></span>.  This is for simple
          IP address based filtering only; any <span><strong class="command">key_id</strong></span>
          elements of the <span><strong class="command">address_match_list</strong></span>
          are ignored.
        </p>
<p>
          A <span><strong class="command">unix</strong></span> control channel is a UNIX domain
          socket listening at the specified path in the file system.
          Access to the socket is specified by the <span><strong class="command">perm</strong></span>,
          <span><strong class="command">owner</strong></span> and <span><strong class="command">group</strong></span> clauses.
          Note on some platforms (SunOS and Solaris) the permissions
          (<span><strong class="command">perm</strong></span>) are applied to the parent directory
          as the permissions on the socket itself are ignored.
        </p>
<p>
          The primary authorization mechanism of the command
          channel is the <span><strong class="command">key_list</strong></span>, which
          contains a list of <span><strong class="command">key_id</strong></span>s.
          Each <span><strong class="command">key_id</strong></span> in the <span><strong class="command">key_list</strong></span>
          is authorized to execute commands over the control channel.
          See <a href="Bv9ARM.ch03.html#rndc">Remote Name Daemon Control application</a> in <a href="Bv9ARM.ch03.html#admin_tools" title="Administrative Tools">the section called &#8220;Administrative Tools&#8221;</a>)
          for information about configuring keys in <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span>.
        </p>
<p>
          If no <span><strong class="command">controls</strong></span> statement is present,
          <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will set up a default
          control channel listening on the loopback address 127.0.0.1
          and its IPv6 counterpart ::1.
          In this case, and also when the <span><strong class="command">controls</strong></span> statement
          is present but does not have a <span><strong class="command">keys</strong></span> clause,
          <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will attempt to load the command channel key
          from the file <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> in
          <code class="filename">/etc</code> (or whatever <code class="varname">sysconfdir</code>
          was specified as when <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> was built).
          To create a <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> file, run
          <strong class="userinput"><code>rndc-confgen -a</code></strong>.
        </p>
<p>
          The <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> feature was created to
          ease the transition of systems from <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8,
          which did not have digital signatures on its command channel
          messages and thus did not have a <span><strong class="command">keys</strong></span> clause.

          It makes it possible to use an existing <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8
          configuration file in <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 unchanged,
          and still have <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> work the same way
          <span><strong class="command">ndc</strong></span> worked in BIND 8, simply by executing the
          command <strong class="userinput"><code>rndc-confgen -a</code></strong> after BIND 9 is
          installed.
        </p>
<p>
          Since the <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> feature
          is only intended to allow the backward-compatible usage of
          <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8 configuration files, this
          feature does not
          have a high degree of configurability.  You cannot easily change
          the key name or the size of the secret, so you should make a
          <code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> with your own key if you
          wish to change
          those things.  The <code class="filename">rndc.key</code> file
          also has its
          permissions set such that only the owner of the file (the user that
          <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> is running as) can access it.
          If you
          desire greater flexibility in allowing other users to access
          <span><strong class="command">rndc</strong></span> commands, then you need to create
          a
          <code class="filename">rndc.conf</code> file and make it group
          readable by a group
          that contains the users who should have access.
        </p>
<p>
          To disable the command channel, use an empty
          <span><strong class="command">controls</strong></span> statement:
          <span><strong class="command">controls { };</strong></span>.

          The <span><strong class="command">key</strong></span> statement defines a shared
          secret key for use with TSIG (see <a href="Bv9ARM.ch04.html#tsig" title="TSIG">the section called &#8220;TSIG&#8221;</a>)
          or the command channel

<p>
          The <em class="replaceable"><code>key_id</code></em>, also known as the
          key name, is a domain name uniquely identifying the key. It can
          be used in a <span><strong class="command">server</strong></span>
          statement to cause requests sent to that
          server to be signed with this key, or in address match lists to
          verify that incoming requests have been signed with a key
          matching this name, algorithm, and secret.
        </p>
<p>
          The <em class="replaceable"><code>algorithm_id</code></em> is a string
          that specifies a security/authentication algorithm.  Named
          supports <code class="literal">hmac-md5</code>,
          <code class="literal">hmac-sha1</code>, <code class="literal">hmac-sha224</code>,
          <code class="literal">hmac-sha256</code>, <code class="literal">hmac-sha384</code>
          and <code class="literal">hmac-sha512</code> TSIG authentication.
          Truncated hashes are supported by appending the minimum
          number of required bits preceded by a dash, e.g.
          <code class="literal">hmac-sha1-80</code>.  The

<a name="id2575496"></a><span><strong class="command">logging</strong></span> Statement Definition and
          Usage</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
          The <span><strong class="command">logging</strong></span> statement configures a
          wide
          variety of logging options for the name server. Its <span><strong class="command">channel</strong></span> phrase
          associates output methods, format options and severity levels with
          a name that can then be used with the <span><strong class="command">category</strong></span> phrase
          to select how various classes of messages are logged.
        </p>
<p>
          Only one <span><strong class="command">logging</strong></span> statement is used to
          define
          as many channels and categories as are wanted. If there is no <span><strong class="command">logging</strong></span> statement,
          the logging configuration will be:
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting">logging {
     category default { default_syslog; default_debug; };
     category unmatched { null; };
};
</pre>
<p>
          In <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9, the logging configuration
          is only established when
          the entire configuration file has been parsed.  In <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8, it was
          established as soon as the <span><strong class="command">logging</strong></span>
          statement
          was parsed. When the server is starting up, all logging messages
          regarding syntax errors in the configuration file go to the default
          channels, or to standard error if the "<code class="option">-g</code>" option
          was specified.
        </p>
<div class="sect3" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title">
<a name="id2575548"></a>The <span><strong class="command">channel</strong></span> Phrase</h4></div></div></div>
<p>
            All log output goes to one or more <span class="emphasis"><em>channels</em></span>;
            you can make as many of them as you want.
          </p>
<p>
            Every channel definition must include a destination clause that
            says whether messages selected for the channel go to a file, to a
            particular syslog facility, to the standard error stream, or are
            discarded. It can optionally also limit the message severity level
            that will be accepted by the channel (the default is
            <span><strong class="command">info</strong></span>), and whether to include a
            <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>-generated time stamp, the
            category name
            and/or severity level (the default is not to include any).
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">null</strong></span> destination clause
            causes all messages sent to the channel to be discarded;
            in that case, other options for the channel are meaningless.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">file</strong></span> destination clause directs
            the channel
            to a disk file.  It can include limitations
            both on how large the file is allowed to become, and how many
            versions
            of the file will be saved each time the file is opened.
          </p>
<p>
            If you use the <span><strong class="command">versions</strong></span> log file
            option, then
            <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will retain that many backup
            versions of the file by
            renaming them when opening.  For example, if you choose to keep
            three old versions
            of the file <code class="filename">lamers.log</code>, then just
            before it is opened
            <code class="filename">lamers.log.1</code> is renamed to
            <code class="filename">lamers.log.2</code>, <code class="filename">lamers.log.0</code> is renamed
            to <code class="filename">lamers.log.1</code>, and <code class="filename">lamers.log</code> is
            renamed to <code class="filename">lamers.log.0</code>.
            You can say <span><strong class="command">versions unlimited</strong></span> to
            not limit
            the number of versions.
            If a <span><strong class="command">size</strong></span> option is associated with
            the log file,
            then renaming is only done when the file being opened exceeds the
            indicated size.  No backup versions are kept by default; any
            existing
            log file is simply appended.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">size</strong></span> option for files is used
            to limit log
            growth. If the file ever exceeds the size, then <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will
            stop writing to the file unless it has a <span><strong class="command">versions</strong></span> option
            associated with it.  If backup versions are kept, the files are
            rolled as
            described above and a new one begun.  If there is no
            <span><strong class="command">versions</strong></span> option, no more data will
            be written to the log
            until some out-of-band mechanism removes or truncates the log to
            less than the
            maximum size.  The default behavior is not to limit the size of
            the
            file.
          </p>
<p>
            Example usage of the <span><strong class="command">size</strong></span> and
            <span><strong class="command">versions</strong></span> options:
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">channel an_example_channel {
    file "example.log" versions 3 size 20m;
    print-time yes;
    print-category yes;
};
</pre>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">syslog</strong></span> destination clause
            directs the
            channel to the system log.  Its argument is a
            syslog facility as described in the <span><strong class="command">syslog</strong></span> man
            page. Known facilities are <span><strong class="command">kern</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">user</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">mail</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">daemon</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">auth</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">syslog</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">lpr</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">news</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">uucp</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">cron</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">authpriv</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">ftp</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">local0</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">local1</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">local2</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">local3</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">local4</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">local5</strong></span>, <span><strong class="command">local6</strong></span> and
            <span><strong class="command">local7</strong></span>, however not all facilities
            are supported on
            all operating systems.
            How <span><strong class="command">syslog</strong></span> will handle messages
            sent to
            this facility is described in the <span><strong class="command">syslog.conf</strong></span> man
            page. If you have a system which uses a very old version of <span><strong class="command">syslog</strong></span> that
            only uses two arguments to the <span><strong class="command">openlog()</strong></span> function,
            then this clause is silently ignored.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">severity</strong></span> clause works like <span><strong class="command">syslog</strong></span>'s
            "priorities", except that they can also be used if you are writing
            straight to a file rather than using <span><strong class="command">syslog</strong></span>.
            Messages which are not at least of the severity level given will
            not be selected for the channel; messages of higher severity
            levels
            will be accepted.
          </p>
<p>
            If you are using <span><strong class="command">syslog</strong></span>, then the <span><strong class="command">syslog.conf</strong></span> priorities
            will also determine what eventually passes through. For example,
            defining a channel facility and severity as <span><strong class="command">daemon</strong></span> and <span><strong class="command">debug</strong></span> but
            only logging <span><strong class="command">daemon.warning</strong></span> via <span><strong class="command">syslog.conf</strong></span> will
            cause messages of severity <span><strong class="command">info</strong></span> and
            <span><strong class="command">notice</strong></span> to
            be dropped. If the situation were reversed, with <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> writing
            messages of only <span><strong class="command">warning</strong></span> or higher,
            then <span><strong class="command">syslogd</strong></span> would
            print all messages it received from the channel.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">stderr</strong></span> destination clause
            directs the
            channel to the server's standard error stream.  This is intended
            for
            use when the server is running as a foreground process, for
            example
            when debugging a configuration.
          </p>
<p>
            The server can supply extensive debugging information when
            it is in debugging mode. If the server's global debug level is
            greater
            than zero, then debugging mode will be active. The global debug
            level is set either by starting the <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> server
            with the <code class="option">-d</code> flag followed by a positive integer,
            or by running <span><strong class="command">rndc trace</strong></span>.
            The global debug level
            can be set to zero, and debugging mode turned off, by running <span><strong class="command">rndc
notrace</strong></span>. All debugging messages in the server have a debug
            level, and higher debug levels give more detailed output. Channels
            that specify a specific debug severity, for example:
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">channel specific_debug_level {
    file "foo";
    severity debug 3;
};
</pre>
<p>
            will get debugging output of level 3 or less any time the
            server is in debugging mode, regardless of the global debugging
            level. Channels with <span><strong class="command">dynamic</strong></span>
            severity use the
            server's global debug level to determine what messages to print.
          </p>
<p>
            If <span><strong class="command">print-time</strong></span> has been turned on,
            then
            the date and time will be logged. <span><strong class="command">print-time</strong></span> may
            be specified for a <span><strong class="command">syslog</strong></span> channel,
            but is usually
            pointless since <span><strong class="command">syslog</strong></span> also logs
            the date and
            time. If <span><strong class="command">print-category</strong></span> is
            requested, then the
            category of the message will be logged as well. Finally, if <span><strong class="command">print-severity</strong></span> is
            on, then the severity level of the message will be logged. The <span><strong class="command">print-</strong></span> options may
            be used in any combination, and will always be printed in the
            following
            order: time, category, severity. Here is an example where all
            three <span><strong class="command">print-</strong></span> options
            are on:
          </p>
<p>
            <code class="computeroutput">28-Feb-2000 15:05:32.863 general: notice: running</code>
          </p>
<p>
            There are four predefined channels that are used for
            <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>'s default logging as follows.
            How they are
            used is described in <a href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#the_category_phrase" title="The category Phrase">the section called &#8220;The <span><strong class="command">category</strong></span> Phrase&#8221;</a>.
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">channel default_syslog {
    // send to syslog's daemon facility
    syslog daemon;
    // only send priority info and higher
    severity info;

channel default_debug {
    // write to named.run in the working directory
    // Note: stderr is used instead of "named.run" if
    // the server is started with the '-f' option.
    file "named.run";
    // log at the server's current debug level
    severity dynamic;
};

channel default_stderr {
    // writes to stderr
    stderr;
    // only send priority info and higher
    severity info;
};

channel null {
   // toss anything sent to this channel
   null;
};
</pre>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">default_debug</strong></span> channel has the
            special
            property that it only produces output when the server's debug
            level is
            nonzero.  It normally writes to a file called <code class="filename">named.run</code>
            in the server's working directory.
          </p>
<p>
            For security reasons, when the "<code class="option">-u</code>"
            command line option is used, the <code class="filename">named.run</code> file
            is created only after <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> has
            changed to the
            new UID, and any debug output generated while <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> is
            starting up and still running as root is discarded.  If you need
            to capture this output, you must run the server with the "<code class="option">-g</code>"
            option and redirect standard error to a file.
          </p>
<p>
            Once a channel is defined, it cannot be redefined. Thus you
            cannot alter the built-in channels directly, but you can modify
            the default logging by pointing categories at channels you have
            defined.
          </p>
</div>
<div class="sect3" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title">
<a name="the_category_phrase"></a>The <span><strong class="command">category</strong></span> Phrase</h4></div></div></div>
<p>
            There are many categories, so you can send the logs you want
            to see wherever you want, without seeing logs you don't want. If
            you don't specify a list of channels for a category, then log
            messages
            in that category will be sent to the <span><strong class="command">default</strong></span> category
            instead. If you don't specify a default category, the following
            "default default" is used:
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">category default { default_syslog; default_debug; };
</pre>
<p>
            As an example, let's say you want to log security events to
            a file, but you also want keep the default logging behavior. You'd
            specify the following:
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">channel my_security_channel {
    file "my_security_file";
    severity info;
};
category security {
    my_security_channel;
    default_syslog;
    default_debug;
};</pre>
<p>
            To discard all messages in a category, specify the <span><strong class="command">null</strong></span> channel:
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">category xfer-out { null; };
category notify { null; };
</pre>
<p>
            Following are the available categories and brief descriptions
            of the types of log information they contain. More
            categories may be added in future <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> releases.

                      Log queries that have been forced to use plain
                      DNS due to timeouts.  This is often due to
                      the remote servers not being RFC 1034 compliant
                      (not always returning FORMERR or similar to
                      EDNS queries and other extensions to the DNS
                      when they are not understood).  In other words, this is
                      targeted at servers that fail to respond to
                      DNS queries that they don't understand.

                      Note: the log message can also be due to
                      packet loss.  Before reporting servers for
                      non-RFC 1034 compliance they should be re-tested
                      to determine the nature of the non-compliance.
                      This testing should prevent or reduce the
                      number of false-positive reports.

                      Note: eventually <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will have to stop
                      treating such timeouts as due to RFC 1034 non
                      compliance and start treating it as plain
                      packet loss.  Falsely classifying packet
                      loss as due to RFC 1034 non compliance impacts
                      on DNSSEC validation which requires EDNS for
                      the DNSSEC records to be returned.

<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">query-errors</strong></span> category is
            specifically intended for debugging purposes: To identify
            why and how specific queries result in responses which
            indicate an error.
            Messages of this category are therefore only logged
            with <span><strong class="command">debug</strong></span> levels.
          </p>
<p>
            At the debug levels of 1 or higher, each response with the
            rcode of SERVFAIL is logged as follows:
          </p>
<p>
            <code class="computeroutput">client 127.0.0.1#61502: query failed (SERVFAIL) for www.example.com/IN/AAAA at query.c:3880</code>
          </p>
<p>
            This means an error resulting in SERVFAIL was
            detected at line 3880 of source file
            <code class="filename">query.c</code>.
            Log messages of this level will particularly
            help identify the cause of SERVFAIL for an
            authoritative server.
          </p>
<p>
            At the debug levels of 2 or higher, detailed context
            information of recursive resolutions that resulted in
            SERVFAIL is logged.
            The log message will look like as follows:
          </p>
<p>

            </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
fetch completed at resolver.c:2970 for www.example.com/A

            </pre>
<p>
          </p>
<p>
            The first part before the colon shows that a recursive
            resolution for AAAA records of www.example.com completed
            in 30.000183 seconds and the final result that led to the
            SERVFAIL was determined at line 2970 of source file
            <code class="filename">resolver.c</code>.
          </p>
<p>
            The following part shows the detected final result and the
            latest result of DNSSEC validation.
            The latter is always success when no validation attempt
            is made.
            In this example, this query resulted in SERVFAIL probably
            because all name servers are down or unreachable, leading
            to a timeout in 30 seconds.
            DNSSEC validation was probably not attempted.
          </p>
<p>
            The last part enclosed in square brackets shows statistics
            information collected for this particular resolution
            attempt.
            The <code class="varname">domain</code> field shows the deepest zone
            that the resolver reached;
            it is the zone where the error was finally detected.
            The meaning of the other fields is summarized in the
            following table.

                      A server is detected to be lame either by an
                      invalid response or as a result of lookup in
                      BIND9's address database (ADB), where lame
                      servers are cached.

            At the debug levels of 3 or higher, the same messages
            as those at the debug 1 level are logged for other errors
            than SERVFAIL.
            Note that negative responses such as NXDOMAIN are not
            regarded as errors here.
          </p>
<p>
            At the debug levels of 4 or higher, the same messages
            as those at the debug 2 level are logged for other errors
            than SERVFAIL.
            Unlike the above case of level 3, messages are logged for
            negative responses.
            This is because any unexpected results can be difficult to
            debug in the recursion case.

<p>
          The <span><strong class="command">lwres</strong></span> statement configures the
          name
          server to also act as a lightweight resolver server. (See
          <a href="Bv9ARM.ch05.html#lwresd" title="Running a Resolver Daemon">the section called &#8220;Running a Resolver Daemon&#8221;</a>.)  There may be multiple
          <span><strong class="command">lwres</strong></span> statements configuring
          lightweight resolver servers with different properties.
        </p>
<p>
          The <span><strong class="command">listen-on</strong></span> statement specifies a
          list of
          addresses (and ports) that this instance of a lightweight resolver
          daemon
          should accept requests on.  If no port is specified, port 921 is
          used.
          If this statement is omitted, requests will be accepted on
          127.0.0.1,
          port 921.
        </p>
<p>
          The <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span> statement binds this
          instance of a
          lightweight resolver daemon to a view in the DNS namespace, so that
          the
          response will be constructed in the same manner as a normal DNS
          query
          matching this view.  If this statement is omitted, the default view
          is
          used, and if there is no default view, an error is triggered.
        </p>
<p>
          The <span><strong class="command">search</strong></span> statement is equivalent to
          the
          <span><strong class="command">search</strong></span> statement in
          <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>.  It provides a
          list of domains
          which are appended to relative names in queries.
        </p>
<p>
          The <span><strong class="command">ndots</strong></span> statement is equivalent to
          the
          <span><strong class="command">ndots</strong></span> statement in
          <code class="filename">/etc/resolv.conf</code>.  It indicates the
          minimum
          number of dots in a relative domain name that should result in an
          exact match lookup before search path elements are appended.

<p>
                  Allows multiple views to share a single cache
                  database.
                  Each view has its own cache database by default, but
                  if multiple views have the same operational policy
                  for name resolution and caching, those views can
                  share a single cache to save memory and possibly
                  improve resolution efficiency by using this option.
                </p>
<p>
                  The <span><strong class="command">attach-cache</strong></span> option
                  may also be specified in <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span>
                  statements, in which case it overrides the
                  global <span><strong class="command">attach-cache</strong></span> option.
                </p>
<p>
                  The <em class="replaceable"><code>cache_name</code></em> specifies
                  the cache to be shared.
                  When the <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> server configures
                  views which are supposed to share a cache, it
                  creates a cache with the specified name for the
                  first view of these sharing views.
                  The rest of the views will simply refer to the
                  already created cache.
                </p>
<p>
                  One common configuration to share a cache would be to
                  allow all views to share a single cache.
                  This can be done by specifying
                  the <span><strong class="command">attach-cache</strong></span> as a global
                  option with an arbitrary name.
                </p>
<p>
                  Another possible operation is to allow a subset of
                  all views to share a cache while the others to
                  retain their own caches.
                  For example, if there are three views A, B, and C,
                  and only A and B should share a cache, specify the
                  <span><strong class="command">attach-cache</strong></span> option as a view A (or
                  B)'s option, referring to the other view name:
                </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
  view "A" {
    // this view has its own cache
    ...
  };
  view "B" {
    // this view refers to A's cache
    attach-cache "A";
  };
  view "C" {
    // this view has its own cache
    ...
  };
</pre>
<p>
                  Views that share a cache must have the same policy
                  on configurable parameters that may affect caching.
                  The current implementation requires the following
                  configurable options be consistent among these
                  views:
                  <span><strong class="command">check-names</strong></span>,
                  <span><strong class="command">cleaning-interval</strong></span>,
                  <span><strong class="command">dnssec-accept-expired</strong></span>,
                  <span><strong class="command">dnssec-validation</strong></span>,
                  <span><strong class="command">max-cache-ttl</strong></span>,
                  <span><strong class="command">max-ncache-ttl</strong></span>,
                  <span><strong class="command">max-cache-size</strong></span>, and
                  <span><strong class="command">zero-no-soa-ttl</strong></span>.
                </p>
<p>
                  Note that there may be other parameters that may
                  cause confusion if they are inconsistent for
                  different views that share a single cache.
                  For example, if these views define different sets of
                  forwarders that can return different answers for the
                  same question, sharing the answer does not make
                  sense or could even be harmful.
                  It is administrator's responsibility to ensure
                  configuration differences in different views do
                  not cause disruption with a shared cache.

                testing;
                a server using a port other than 53 will not be able to

                The source of entropy to be used by the server.  Entropy is
                primarily needed

                update of signed

                Turn on enforcement of delegation-only in TLDs
                (top level domains) and root zones with an optional
                exclude list.
              </p>
<p>
                DS queries are expected to be made to and be answered by
                delegation only zones.  Such queries and responses are
                treated as an exception to delegation-only processing
                and are not converted to NXDOMAIN responses provided
                a CNAME is not discovered at the query name.
              </p>
<p>
                If a delegation only zone server also serves a child
                zone it is not always possible to determine whether
                an answer comes from the delegation only zone or the
                child zone.  SOA NS and DNSKEY records are apex
                only records and a matching response that contains
                these records or DS is treated as coming from a
                child zone.  RRSIG records are also examined to see
                if they are signed by a child zone or not.  The
                authority section is also examined to see if there
                is evidence that the answer is from the child zone.
                Answers that are determined to be from a child zone
                are not converted to NXDOMAIN responses.  Despite
                all these checks there is still a possibility of
                false negatives when a child zone is being served.
              </p>
<p>
                Similarly false positives can arise from empty nodes
                (no records at the name) in the delegation only zone
                when the query type is not ANY.
              </p>
<p>
                Note some TLDs are not delegation only (e.g. "DE", "LV",
                "US" and "MUSEUM").  This list is not exhaustive.

                <span><strong class="command">dnssec-lookaside</strong></span>, and the normal dnssec
                validation has left the key untrusted, the trust-anchor
                will be append to the key name and a DLV record will be
                looked up to see if it can validate the key.  If the DLV
                record validates a DNSKEY (similarly to the way a DS record
                does) the DNSKEY RRset is deemed to be trusted.

                  If <strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong>, then the

                  across
                  a dial-on-demand dialup link, which can be brought up by
                  traffic
                  originating from this server. This has different effects
                  according
                  to zone type and concentrates the zone maintenance so that
                  it all
                  happens in a short interval, once every <span><strong class="command">heartbeat-interval</strong></span> and
                  hopefully during the one call. It also suppresses some of
                  the normal
                  zone maintenance traffic. The default is <strong class="userinput"><code>no</code></strong>.

<p>
                  The <span><strong class="command">dialup</strong></span> option

                  <span><strong class="command">zone</strong></span> statements,
                  in which case it overrides the global <span><strong class="command">dialup</strong></span>
                  option.
                </p>
<p>
                  If the zone is a master zone, then the server will send out a
                  NOTIFY
                  request to all the slaves (default). This should trigger the
                  zone serial
                  number check in the slave (providing it supports NOTIFY)
                  allowing the slave
                  to verify the zone while the connection is active.
                  The set of servers to which NOTIFY is sent can be controlled
                  by
                  <span><strong class="command">notify</strong></span> and <span><strong class="command">also-notify</strong></span>.

<p>
                  If the
                  zone is a slave or stub zone, then the server will suppress
                  the regular
                  "zone up to date" (refresh) queries and only perform them
                  when the
                  <span><strong class="command">heartbeat-interval</strong></span> expires in
                  addition to sending
                  NOTIFY requests.
                </p>
<p>
                  Finer control can be achieved by using
                  <strong class="userinput"><code>notify</code></strong> which only sends NOTIFY
                  messages,
                  <strong class="userinput"><code>notify-passive</code></strong> which sends NOTIFY
                  messages and
                  suppresses the normal refresh queries, <strong class="userinput"><code>refresh</code></strong>
                  which suppresses normal refresh processing and sends refresh
                  queries
                  when the <span><strong class="command">heartbeat-interval</strong></span>
                  expires, and
                  <strong class="userinput"><code>passive</code></strong> which just disables normal
                  refresh
                  processing.

                  if known, even though they are not in the example.com zone.
                  Setting these options to <span><strong class="command">no</strong></span>
                  disables this behavior and makes
                  the server only search for additional data in the zone it
                  answers from.
                </p>
<p>
                  These options are intended for use in authoritative-only

                  Specifying <span><strong class="command">additional-from-cache no</strong></span> actually
                  disables the use of the cache not only for additional data
                  lookups
                  but also when looking up the answer.  This is usually the
                  desired
                  behavior in an authoritative-only server where the
                  correctness of
                  the cached data is an issue.
                </p>
<p>
                  When a name server is non-recursively queried for a name
                  that is not
                  below the apex of any served zone, it normally answers with
                  an
                  "upwards referral" to the root servers or the servers of
                  some other
                  known parent of the query name.  Since the data in an
                  upwards referral
                  comes from the cache, the server will not be able to provide
                  upwards
                  referrals when <span><strong class="command">additional-from-cache no</strong></span>
                  has been specified.  Instead, it will respond to such
                  queries
                  with REFUSED.  This should not cause any problems since
                  upwards referrals are not required for the resolution
                  process.

                  Enabling this option is sometimes useful on IPv6-enabled
                  Linux
                  systems, to work around a kernel quirk that causes IPv4

                  When <strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong> and the server loads a new version of a master
                  zone from its zone file or receives a new version of a slave
                  file by a non-incremental zone transfer, it will compare
                  the new version to the previous one and calculate a set
                  of differences.  The differences are then logged in the
                  zone's journal file such that the changes can be transmitted
                  to downstream slaves as an incremental zone transfer.

<p>
                  By allowing incremental zone transfers to be used for

                  master.
                  In particular, if the new version of a zone is completely
                  different from the previous one, the set of differences
                  will be of a size comparable to the combined size of the
                  old and new zone version, and the server will need to
                  temporarily allocate memory to hold this complete

<p>
            The interfaces and ports that the server will answer queries

<p>
            Multiple <span><strong class="command">listen-on</strong></span> statements are

<pre class="programlisting">listen-on { 5.6.7.8; };
listen-on port 1234 { !1.2.3.4; 1.2/16; };

<p>
            will enable the name server on port 53 for the IP address
            5.6.7.8, and on port 1234 of an address on the machine in net
            1.2 that is not 1.2.3.4.
          </p>
<p>
            If no <span><strong class="command">listen-on</strong></span> is specified, the
            server will listen on port 53 on all IPv4 interfaces.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">listen-on-v6</strong></span> option is used to
            specify the interfaces and the ports on which the server will
            listen
            for incoming queries sent using IPv6.
          </p>

            When </p>
<pre class="programlisting">{ any; }</pre>
<p> is
            specified
            as the <code class="varname">address_match_list</code> for the
            <span><strong class="command">listen-on-v6</strong></span> option,
            the server does not bind a separate socket to each IPv6 interface
            address as it does for IPv4 if the operating system has enough API
            support for IPv6 (specifically if it conforms to RFC 3493 and RFC
            3542).
            Instead, it listens on the IPv6 wildcard address.
            If the system only has incomplete API support for IPv6, however,
            the behavior is the same as that for IPv4.
          </p>
<p>
            A list of particular IPv6 addresses can also be specified, in
            which case
            the server listens on a separate socket for each specified
            address,
            regardless of whether the desired API is supported by the system.
          </p>
<p>
            Multiple <span><strong class="command">listen-on-v6</strong></span> options can
            be used.
            For example,
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">listen-on-v6 { any; };
listen-on-v6 port 1234 { !2001:db8::/32; any; };
</pre>
<p>
            will enable the name server on port 53 for any IPv6 addresses
            (with a single wildcard socket),
            and on port 1234 of IPv6 addresses that is not in the prefix
            2001:db8::/32 (with separate sockets for each matched address.)
          </p>
<p>
            To make the server not listen on any IPv6 address, use
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">listen-on-v6 { none; };
</pre>
<p>
            If no <span><strong class="command">listen-on-v6</strong></span> option is
            specified, the server will not listen on any IPv6 address
            unless <span><strong class="command">-6</strong></span> is specified when <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> is
            invoked.  If <span><strong class="command">-6</strong></span> is specified then
            <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will listen on port 53 on all IPv6 interfaces by default.

            If the server doesn't know the answer to a question, it will

            the address and port used for such queries. For queries sent over
            IPv6, there is a separate <span><strong class="command">query-source-v6</strong></span> option.
            If <span><strong class="command">address</strong></span> is <span><strong class="command">*</strong></span> (asterisk) or is omitted,
            a wildcard IP address (<span><strong class="command">INADDR_ANY</strong></span>)

<p>
            If <span><strong class="command">port</strong></span> is <span><strong class="command">*</strong></span> or is omitted,
            a random port number from a pre-configured
            range is picked up and will be used for each query.
            The port range(s) is that specified in
            the <span><strong class="command">use-v4-udp-ports</strong></span> (for IPv4)
            and <span><strong class="command">use-v6-udp-ports</strong></span> (for IPv6)
            options, excluding the ranges specified in
            the <span><strong class="command">avoid-v4-udp-ports</strong></span>

            are:
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">query-source address * port *;
query-source-v6 address * port *;
</pre>
<p>
            If <span><strong class="command">use-v4-udp-ports</strong></span> or
            <span><strong class="command">use-v6-udp-ports</strong></span> is unspecified,
            <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will check if the operating
            system provides a programming interface to retrieve the
            system's default range for ephemeral ports.
            If such an interface is available,
            <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will use the corresponding system
            default range; otherwise, it will use its own defaults:
         </p>
<pre class="programlisting">use-v4-udp-ports { range 1024 65535; };
use-v6-udp-ports { range 1024 65535; };
</pre>
<p>
            Note: make sure the ranges be sufficiently large for
            security.  A desirable size depends on various parameters,
            but we generally recommend it contain at least 16384 ports
            (14 bits of entropy).
            Note also that the system's default range when used may be
            too small for this purpose, and that the range may even be
            changed while <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> is running; the new
            range will automatically be applied when <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>
            is reloaded.
            It is encouraged to
            configure <span><strong class="command">use-v4-udp-ports</strong></span> and
            <span><strong class="command">use-v6-udp-ports</strong></span> explicitly so that the
            ranges are sufficiently large and are reasonably
            independent from the ranges used by other applications.
          </p>
<p>
            Note: the operational configuration
            where <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> runs may prohibit the use
            of some ports.  For example, UNIX systems will not allow
            <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> running without a root privilege
            to use ports less than 1024.
            If such ports are included in the specified (or detected)
            set of query ports, the corresponding query attempts will
            fail, resulting in resolution failures or delay.
            It is therefore important to configure the set of ports
            that can be safely used in the expected operational environment.

            For the same reason, it is generally strongly discouraged to

            All other things being equal, when the server chooses a name
            server
            to query from a list of name servers, it prefers the one that is
            topologically closest to itself. The <span><strong class="command">topology</strong></span> statement
            takes an <span><strong class="command">address_match_list</strong></span> and
            interprets it
            in a special way. Each top-level list element is assigned a
            distance.
            Non-negated elements get a distance based on their position in the
            list, where the closer the match is to the start of the list, the
            shorter the distance is between it and the server. A negated match
            will be assigned the maximum distance from the server. If there
            is no match, the address will get a distance which is further than
            any non-negated list element, and closer than any negated element.
            For example,
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">topology {

            exception of hosts on network 1.2.3 (netmask 255.255.255.0), which
            is preferred least of all.

<p>
            The response to a DNS query may consist of multiple resource
            records (RRs) forming a resource records set (RRset).
            The name server will normally return the
            RRs within the RRset in an indeterminate order
            (but see the <span><strong class="command">rrset-order</strong></span>
            statement in <a href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#rrset_ordering" title="RRset Ordering">the section called &#8220;RRset Ordering&#8221;</a>).
            The client resolver code should rearrange the RRs as appropriate,
            that is, using any addresses on the local net in preference to
            other addresses.
            However, not all resolvers can do this or are correctly
            configured.
            When a client is using a local server, the sorting can be performed
            in the server, based on the client's address. This only requires
            configuring the name servers, not all the clients.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">sortlist</strong></span> statement (see below)
            takes
            an <span><strong class="command">address_match_list</strong></span> and
            interprets it even
            more specifically than the <span><strong class="command">topology</strong></span>
            statement
            does (<a href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#topology" title="Topology">the section called &#8220;Topology&#8221;</a>).
            Each top level statement in the <span><strong class="command">sortlist</strong></span> must
            itself be an explicit <span><strong class="command">address_match_list</strong></span> with
            one or two elements. The first element (which may be an IP
            address,
            an IP prefix, an ACL name or a nested <span><strong class="command">address_match_list</strong></span>)
            of each top level list is checked against the source address of
            the query until a match is found.
          </p>
<p>
            Once the source address of the query has been matched, if
            the top level statement contains only one element, the actual
            primitive
            element that matched the source address is used to select the
            address
            in the response to move to the beginning of the response. If the
            statement is a list of two elements, then the second element is
            treated the same as the <span><strong class="command">address_match_list</strong></span> in
            a <span><strong class="command">topology</strong></span> statement. Each top
            level element
            is assigned a distance and the address in the response with the
            minimum
            distance is moved to the beginning of the response.
          </p>
<p>
            In the following example, any queries received from any of
            the addresses of the host itself will get responses preferring
            addresses
            on any of the locally connected networks. Next most preferred are
            addresses
            on the 192.168.1/24 network, and after that either the
            192.168.2/24
            or
            192.168.3/24 network with no preference shown between these two
            networks. Queries received from a host on the 192.168.1/24 network
            will prefer other addresses on that network to the 192.168.2/24
            and
            192.168.3/24 networks. Queries received from a host on the
            192.168.4/24
            or the 192.168.5/24 network will only prefer other addresses on
            their directly connected networks.

            The following example will give reasonable behavior for the
            local host and hosts on directly connected networks. It is similar
            to the behavior of the address sort in <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 4.9.x. Responses sent
            to queries from the local host will favor any of the directly
            connected
            networks. Responses sent to queries from any other hosts on a
            directly
            connected network will prefer addresses on that same network.
            Responses
            to other queries will not be sorted.

<a name="empty"></a>Built-in Empty Zones</h4></div></div></div>
<p>
            Named has some built-in empty zones (SOA and NS records only).
            These are for zones that should normally be answered locally
            and which queries should not be sent to the Internet's root
            servers.  The official servers which cover these namespaces
            return NXDOMAIN responses to these queries.  In particular,
            these cover the reverse namespace for addresses from RFC 1918 and
            RFC 3330.  They also include the reverse namespace for IPv6 local
            address (locally assigned), IPv6 link local addresses, the IPv6
            loopback address and the IPv6 unknown address.
          </p>
<p>
            Named will attempt to determine if a built-in zone already exists
            or is active (covered by a forward-only forwarding declaration)
            and will not create an empty zone in that case.
          </p>
<p>
            The current list of empty zones is:
            </p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">

<p>
            Empty zones are settable at the view level and only apply to
            views of class IN.  Disabled empty zones are only inherited
            from options if there are no disabled empty zones specified
            at the view level.  To override the options list of disabled
            zones, you can disable the root zone at the view level, for example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
            disable-empty-zone ".";
</pre>
<p>
          </p>
<p>
            If you are using the address ranges covered here, you should
            already have reverse zones covering the addresses you use.
            In practice this appears to not be the case with many queries
            being made to the infrastructure servers for names in these
            spaces.  So many in fact that sacrificial servers were needed
            to be deployed to channel the query load away from the
            infrastructure servers.

            The real parent servers for these zones should disable all

<a name="acache"></a>Additional Section Caching</h4></div></div></div>
<p>
            The additional section cache, also called <span><strong class="command">acache</strong></span>,
            is an internal cache to improve the response performance of BIND 9.
            When additional section caching is enabled, BIND 9 will
            cache an internal short-cut to the additional section content for
            each answer RR.
            Note that <span><strong class="command">acache</strong></span> is an internal caching
            mechanism of BIND 9, and is not related to the DNS caching
            server function.
          </p>
<p>
            Additional section caching does not change the
            response content (except the RRsets ordering of the additional
            section, see below), but can improve the response performance
            significantly.
            It is particularly effective when BIND 9 acts as an authoritative
            server for a zone that has many delegations with many glue RRs.
          </p>
<p>
            In order to obtain the maximum performance improvement
            from additional section caching, setting
            <span><strong class="command">additional-from-cache</strong></span>
            to <span><strong class="command">no</strong></span> is recommended, since the current
            implementation of <span><strong class="command">acache</strong></span>
            does not short-cut of additional section information from the
            DNS cache data.
          </p>
<p>
            One obvious disadvantage of <span><strong class="command">acache</strong></span> is
            that it requires much more
            memory for the internal cached data.
            Thus, if the response performance does not matter and memory
            consumption is much more critical, the
            <span><strong class="command">acache</strong></span> mechanism can be
            disabled by setting <span><strong class="command">acache-enable</strong></span> to
            <span><strong class="command">no</strong></span>.
            It is also possible to specify the upper limit of memory
            consumption
            for acache by using <span><strong class="command">max-acache-size</strong></span>.
          </p>
<p>
            Additional section caching also has a minor effect on the
            RRset ordering in the additional section.
            Without <span><strong class="command">acache</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">cyclic</strong></span> order is effective for the additional
            section as well as the answer and authority sections.
            However, additional section caching fixes the ordering when it
            first caches an RRset for the additional section, and the same
            ordering will be kept in succeeding responses, regardless of the
            setting of <span><strong class="command">rrset-order</strong></span>.
            The effect of this should be minor, however, since an
            RRset in the additional section
            typically only contains a small number of RRs (and in many cases
            it only contains a single RR), in which case the
            ordering does not matter much.
          </p>
<p>
            The following is a summary of options related to
            <span><strong class="command">acache</strong></span>.

<div class="variablelist"><dl>

                  enabled.  The default value is <span><strong class="command">no</strong></span>.

<dt><span class="term"><span><strong class="command">acache-cleaning-interval</strong></span></span></dt>

                  based
                  algorithm, every <span><strong class="command">acache-cleaning-interval</strong></span> minutes.
                  The default is 60 minutes.
                  If set to 0, no periodic cleaning will occur.

<dd><p>
                  The maximum amount of memory in bytes to use for the server's acache.
                  When the amount of data in the acache reaches this limit,
                  the server
                  will clean more aggressively so that the limit is not
                  exceeded.
                  In a server with multiple views, the limit applies
                  separately to the
                  acache of each view.
                  The default is <code class="literal">16M</code>.

<a name="id2586807"></a>Content Filtering</h4></div></div></div>
<p>
            <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 provides the ability to filter
            out DNS responses from external DNS servers containing
            certain types of data in the answer section.
            Specifically, it can reject address (A or AAAA) records if
            the corresponding IPv4 or IPv6 addresses match the given
            <code class="varname">address_match_list</code> of the
            <span><strong class="command">deny-answer-addresses</strong></span> option.
            It can also reject CNAME or DNAME records if the "alias"
            name (i.e., the CNAME alias or the substituted query name
            due to DNAME) matches the
            given <code class="varname">namelist</code> of the
            <span><strong class="command">deny-answer-aliases</strong></span> option, where
            "match" means the alias name is a subdomain of one of
            the <code class="varname">name_list</code> elements.
            If the optional <code class="varname">namelist</code> is specified
            with <span><strong class="command">except-from</strong></span>, records whose query name
            matches the list will be accepted regardless of the filter
            setting.
            Likewise, if the alias name is a subdomain of the
            corresponding zone, the <span><strong class="command">deny-answer-aliases</strong></span>
            filter will not apply;
            for example, even if "example.com" is specified for
            <span><strong class="command">deny-answer-aliases</strong></span>,
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">www.example.com. CNAME xxx.example.com.</pre>
<p>
            returned by an "example.com" server will be accepted.
          </p>
<p>
            In the <code class="varname">address_match_list</code> of the
            <span><strong class="command">deny-answer-addresses</strong></span> option, only
            <code class="varname">ip_addr</code>
            and <code class="varname">ip_prefix</code>
            are meaningful;
            any <code class="varname">key_id</code> will be silently ignored.
          </p>
<p>
            If a response message is rejected due to the filtering,
            the entire message is discarded without being cached, and
            a SERVFAIL error will be returned to the client.
          </p>
<p>
            This filtering is intended to prevent "DNS rebinding attacks," in
            which an attacker, in response to a query for a domain name the
            attacker controls, returns an IP address within your own network or
            an alias name within your own domain.
            A naive web browser or script could then serve as an
            unintended proxy, allowing the attacker
            to get access to an internal node of your local network
            that couldn't be externally accessed otherwise.
            See the paper available at
            <a href="" target="_top">
            http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1315245.1315298
            </a>
            for more details about the attacks.
          </p>
<p>
            For example, if you own a domain named "example.net" and
            your internal network uses an IPv4 prefix 192.0.2.0/24,
            you might specify the following rules:
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">deny-answer-addresses { 192.0.2.0/24; } except-from { "example.net"; };
deny-answer-aliases { "example.net"; };
</pre>
<p>
            If an external attacker lets a web browser in your local
            network look up an IPv4 address of "attacker.example.com",
            the attacker's DNS server would return a response like this:
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">attacker.example.com. A 192.0.2.1</pre>
<p>
            in the answer section.
            Since the rdata of this record (the IPv4 address) matches
            the specified prefix 192.0.2.0/24, this response will be
            ignored.
          </p>
<p>
            On the other hand, if the browser looks up a legitimate
            internal web server "www.example.net" and the
            following response is returned to
            the <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 server
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">www.example.net. A 192.0.2.2</pre>
<p>
            it will be accepted since the owner name "www.example.net"
            matches the <span><strong class="command">except-from</strong></span> element,
            "example.net".
          </p>
<p>
            Note that this is not really an attack on the DNS per se.
            In fact, there is nothing wrong for an "external" name to
            be mapped to your "internal" IP address or domain name
            from the DNS point of view.
            It might actually be provided for a legitimate purpose,
            such as for debugging.
            As long as the mapping is provided by the correct owner,
            it is not possible or does not make sense to detect
            whether the intent of the mapping is legitimate or not
            within the DNS.
            The "rebinding" attack must primarily be protected at the
            application that uses the DNS.
            For a large site, however, it may be difficult to protect
            all possible applications at once.
            This filtering feature is provided only to help such an
            operational environment;
            it is generally discouraged to turn it on unless you are
            very sure you have no other choice and the attack is a
            real threat for your applications.
          </p>
<p>
            Care should be particularly taken if you want to use this
            option for addresses within 127.0.0.0/8.
            These addresses are obviously "internal", but many
            applications conventionally rely on a DNS mapping from
            some name to such an address.
            Filtering out DNS records containing this address
            spuriously can break such applications.

<a name="server_statement_definition_and_usage"></a><span><strong class="command">server</strong></span> Statement Definition and
            Usage</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">server</strong></span> statement defines
            characteristics
            to be associated with a remote name server.  If a prefix length is
            specified, then a range of servers is covered.  Only the most
            specific
            server clause applies regardless of the order in
            <code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">server</strong></span> statement can occur at
            the top level of the
            configuration file or inside a <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span>
            statement.
            If a <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span> statement contains
            one or more <span><strong class="command">server</strong></span> statements, only
            those
            apply to the view and any top-level ones are ignored.
            If a view contains no <span><strong class="command">server</strong></span>
            statements,
            any top-level <span><strong class="command">server</strong></span> statements are
            used as
            defaults.
          </p>
<p>
            If you discover that a remote server is giving out bad data,
            marking it as bogus will prevent further queries to it. The
            default
            value of <span><strong class="command">bogus</strong></span> is <span><strong class="command">no</strong></span>.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">provide-ixfr</strong></span> clause determines
            whether
            the local server, acting as master, will respond with an
            incremental
            zone transfer when the given remote server, a slave, requests it.
            If set to <span><strong class="command">yes</strong></span>, incremental transfer
            will be provided
            whenever possible. If set to <span><strong class="command">no</strong></span>,
            all transfers
            to the remote server will be non-incremental. If not set, the
            value
            of the <span><strong class="command">provide-ixfr</strong></span> option in the
            view or
            global options block is used as a default.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">request-ixfr</strong></span> clause determines
            whether
            the local server, acting as a slave, will request incremental zone
            transfers from the given remote server, a master. If not set, the
            value of the <span><strong class="command">request-ixfr</strong></span> option in
            the view or
            global options block is used as a default.
          </p>
<p>
            IXFR requests to servers that do not support IXFR will
            automatically
            fall back to AXFR.  Therefore, there is no need to manually list
            which servers support IXFR and which ones do not; the global
            default
            of <span><strong class="command">yes</strong></span> should always work.
            The purpose of the <span><strong class="command">provide-ixfr</strong></span> and
            <span><strong class="command">request-ixfr</strong></span> clauses is
            to make it possible to disable the use of IXFR even when both
            master
            and slave claim to support it, for example if one of the servers
            is buggy and crashes or corrupts data when IXFR is used.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">edns</strong></span> clause determines whether
            the local server will attempt to use EDNS when communicating
            with the remote server.  The default is <span><strong class="command">yes</strong></span>.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">edns-udp-size</strong></span> option sets the EDNS UDP size
            that is advertised by <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> when querying the remote server.
            Valid values are 512 to 4096 bytes (values outside this range will be
            silently adjusted).  This option is useful when you wish to
            advertises a different value to this server than the value you
            advertise globally, for example, when there is a firewall at the
            remote site that is blocking large replies.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">max-udp-size</strong></span> option sets the
            maximum EDNS UDP message size <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will send.  Valid
            values are 512 to 4096 bytes (values outside this range will
            be silently adjusted).  This option is useful when you
            know that there is a firewall that is blocking large
            replies from <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>.
          </p>
<p>
            The server supports two zone transfer methods. The first, <span><strong class="command">one-answer</strong></span>,
            uses one DNS message per resource record transferred. <span><strong class="command">many-answers</strong></span> packs
            as many resource records as possible into a message. <span><strong class="command">many-answers</strong></span> is
            more efficient, but is only known to be understood by <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
            8.x, and patched versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
            4.9.5. You can specify which method
            to use for a server with the <span><strong class="command">transfer-format</strong></span> option.
            If <span><strong class="command">transfer-format</strong></span> is not
            specified, the <span><strong class="command">transfer-format</strong></span>
            specified
            by the <span><strong class="command">options</strong></span> statement will be
            used.
          </p>
<p><span><strong class="command">transfers</strong></span>
            is used to limit the number of concurrent inbound zone
            transfers from the specified server. If no
            <span><strong class="command">transfers</strong></span> clause is specified, the
            limit is set according to the
            <span><strong class="command">transfers-per-ns</strong></span> option.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">keys</strong></span> clause identifies a
            <span><strong class="command">key_id</strong></span> defined by the <span><strong class="command">key</strong></span> statement,
            to be used for transaction security (TSIG, <a href="Bv9ARM.ch04.html#tsig" title="TSIG">the section called &#8220;TSIG&#8221;</a>)
            when talking to the remote server.
            When a request is sent to the remote server, a request signature
            will be generated using the key specified here and appended to the
            message. A request originating from the remote server is not
            required
            to be signed by this key.
          </p>
<p>
            Although the grammar of the <span><strong class="command">keys</strong></span>
            clause
            allows for multiple keys, only a single key per server is
            currently
            supported.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">transfer-source</strong></span> and
            <span><strong class="command">transfer-source-v6</strong></span> clauses specify
            the IPv4 and IPv6 source
            address to be used for zone transfer with the remote server,
            respectively.
            For an IPv4 remote server, only <span><strong class="command">transfer-source</strong></span> can
            be specified.
            Similarly, for an IPv6 remote server, only
            <span><strong class="command">transfer-source-v6</strong></span> can be
            specified.
            For more details, see the description of
            <span><strong class="command">transfer-source</strong></span> and
            <span><strong class="command">transfer-source-v6</strong></span> in
            <a href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#zone_transfers" title="Zone Transfers">the section called &#8220;Zone Transfers&#8221;</a>.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">notify-source</strong></span> and
            <span><strong class="command">notify-source-v6</strong></span> clauses specify the
            IPv4 and IPv6 source address to be used for notify
            messages sent to remote servers, respectively.  For an
            IPv4 remote server, only <span><strong class="command">notify-source</strong></span>
            can be specified.  Similarly, for an IPv6 remote server,
            only <span><strong class="command">notify-source-v6</strong></span> can be specified.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">query-source</strong></span> and
            <span><strong class="command">query-source-v6</strong></span> clauses specify the
            IPv4 and IPv6 source address to be used for queries
            sent to remote servers, respectively.  For an IPv4
            remote server, only <span><strong class="command">query-source</strong></span> can
            be specified.  Similarly, for an IPv6 remote server,
            only <span><strong class="command">query-source-v6</strong></span> can be specified.

<p>
          The <span><strong class="command">statistics-channels</strong></span> statement
          declares communication channels to be used by system
          administrators to get access to statistics information of
          the name server.
        </p>
<p>
          This statement intends to be flexible to support multiple
          communication protocols in the future, but currently only
          HTTP access is supported.
          It requires that BIND 9 be compiled with libxml2;
          the <span><strong class="command">statistics-channels</strong></span> statement is
          still accepted even if it is built without the library,
          but any HTTP access will fail with an error.
        </p>
<p>
          An <span><strong class="command">inet</strong></span> control channel is a TCP socket
          listening at the specified <span><strong class="command">ip_port</strong></span> on the
          specified <span><strong class="command">ip_addr</strong></span>, which can be an IPv4 or IPv6
          address.  An <span><strong class="command">ip_addr</strong></span> of <code class="literal">*</code> (asterisk) is
          interpreted as the IPv4 wildcard address; connections will be
          accepted on any of the system's IPv4 addresses.
          To listen on the IPv6 wildcard address,
          use an <span><strong class="command">ip_addr</strong></span> of <code class="literal">::</code>.
        </p>
<p>
          If no port is specified, port 80 is used for HTTP channels.
          The asterisk "<code class="literal">*</code>" cannot be used for
          <span><strong class="command">ip_port</strong></span>.
        </p>
<p>
          The attempt of opening a statistics channel is
          restricted by the optional <span><strong class="command">allow</strong></span> clause.
          Connections to the statistics channel are permitted based on the
          <span><strong class="command">address_match_list</strong></span>.
          If no <span><strong class="command">allow</strong></span> clause is present,
          <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> accepts connection
          attempts from any address; since the statistics may
          contain sensitive internal information, it is highly
          recommended to restrict the source of connection requests
          appropriately.
        </p>
<p>
          If no <span><strong class="command">statistics-channels</strong></span> statement is present,
          <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will not open any communication channels.

<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> statement defines
            DNSSEC security roots. DNSSEC is described in <a href="Bv9ARM.ch04.html#DNSSEC" title="DNSSEC">the section called &#8220;DNSSEC&#8221;</a>. A security root is defined when the
            public key for a non-authoritative zone is known, but
            cannot be securely obtained through DNS, either because
            it is the DNS root zone or because its parent zone is
            unsigned.  Once a key has been configured as a trusted
            key, it is treated as if it had been validated and
            proven secure. The resolver attempts DNSSEC validation
            on all DNS data in subdomains of a security root.
          </p>
<p>
            All keys (and corresponding zones) listed in
            <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> are deemed to exist regardless
            of what parent zones say.  Similarly for all keys listed in
            <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> only those keys are
            used to validate the DNSKEY RRset.  The parent's DS RRset
            will not be used.
          </p>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> statement can contain
            multiple key entries, each consisting of the key's
            domain name, flags, protocol, algorithm, and the Base-64
            representation of the key data.
            Spaces, tabs, newlines and carriage returns are ignored
            in the key data, so the configuration may be split up into
            multiple lines.
          </p>
<p>
            <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> may be set at the top level
            of <code class="filename">named.conf</code> or within a view.  If it is
            set in both places, they are additive: keys defined at the top
            level are inherited by all views, but keys defined in a view
            are only used within that view.

<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> statement, like 
            <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span>, defines DNSSEC
            security roots.  The difference is that
            <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> can be kept up to date
            automatically, without intervention from the resolver
            operator.
          </p>
<p>
            Suppose, for example, that a zone's key-signing
            key was compromised, and the zone owner had to revoke and
            replace the key.  A resolver which had the old key in a
            <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> statement would be
            unable to validate this zone any longer; it would
            reply with a SERVFAIL response code.  This would
            continue until the resolver operator had updated the
            <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> statement with the new key.
          </p>
<p>
            If, however, the zone were listed in a
            <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> statement instead, then the
            zone owner could add a "stand-by" key to the zone in advance.
            <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> would store the stand-by key, and
            when the original key was revoked, <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>
            would be able to transition smoothly to the new key.  It would
            also recognize that the old key had been revoked, and cease
            using that key to validate answers, minimizing the damage that
            the compromised key could do.
          </p>
<p>
            A <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> statement contains a list of
            the keys to be managed, along with information about how the
            keys are to be initialized for the first time.  The only
            initialization method currently supported (as of
            <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9.7.0) is <code class="literal">initial-key</code>.
            This means the <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> statement must
            contain a copy of the initializing key.  (Future releases may
            allow keys to be initialized by other methods, eliminating this
            requirement.)

            Consequently, a <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> statement
            appears similar to a <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span>, differing
            in the presence of the second field, containing the keyword
            <code class="literal">initial-key</code>.  The difference is, whereas the
            keys listed in a <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> continue to be
            trusted until they are removed from
            <code class="filename">named.conf</code>, an initializing key listed 
            in a <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> statement is only trusted
            <span class="emphasis"><em>once</em></span>: for as long as it takes to load the
            managed key database and start the RFC 5011 key maintenance
            process.
          </p>
<p>
            The first time <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> runs with a managed key
            configured in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>, it fetches the
            DNSKEY RRset directly from the zone apex, and validates it
            using the key specified in the <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span>
            statement.  If the DNSKEY RRset is validly signed, then it is
            used as the basis for a new managed keys database.
          </p>
<p>
            From that point on, whenever <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> runs, it
            sees the <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> statement, checks to
            make sure RFC 5011 key maintenance has already been initialized
            for the specified domain, and if so, it simply moves on.  The
            key specified in the <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> is not
            used to validate answers; it has been superseded by the key or
            keys stored in the managed keys database.
          </p>
<p>
            The next time <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> runs after a name
            has been <span class="emphasis"><em>removed</em></span> from the
            <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> statement, the corresponding
            zone will be removed from the managed keys database,
            and RFC 5011 key maintenance will no longer be used for that
            domain.
          </p>
<p>
            <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> only maintains a single managed keys
            database; consequently, unlike <span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span>,
            <span><strong class="command">managed-keys</strong></span> may only be set at the top
            level of <code class="filename">named.conf</code>, not within a view.
          </p>
<p>
            If the <span><strong class="command">dnssec-lookaside</strong></span> option is set to
            "auto", <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> will automatically initialize
            a managed key for the zone <code class="literal">dlv.isc.org</code>.  The
            key that is used to initialize the key maintenance process is
            built into <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span>, and can be overridden
            from <span><strong class="command">bindkeys-file</strong></span>.

<a name="id2588149"></a><span><strong class="command">view</strong></span> Statement Definition and Usage</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
            The <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span> statement is a powerful
            feature
            of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 that lets a name server
            answer a DNS query differently
            depending on who is asking. It is particularly useful for
            implementing
            split DNS setups without having to run multiple servers.
          </p>
<p>
            Each <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span> statement defines a view
            of the
            DNS namespace that will be seen by a subset of clients.  A client
            matches
            a view if its source IP address matches the
            <code class="varname">address_match_list</code> of the view's
            <span><strong class="command">match-clients</strong></span> clause and its
            destination IP address matches
            the <code class="varname">address_match_list</code> of the
            view's
            <span><strong class="command">match-destinations</strong></span> clause.  If not
            specified, both
            <span><strong class="command">match-clients</strong></span> and <span><strong class="command">match-destinations</strong></span>
            default to matching all addresses.  In addition to checking IP
            addresses
            <span><strong class="command">match-clients</strong></span> and <span><strong class="command">match-destinations</strong></span>
            can also take <span><strong class="command">keys</strong></span> which provide an
            mechanism for the
            client to select the view.  A view can also be specified
            as <span><strong class="command">match-recursive-only</strong></span>, which
            means that only recursive
            requests from matching clients will match that view.
            The order of the <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span> statements is
            significant &#8212;
            a client request will be resolved in the context of the first
            <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span> that it matches.
          </p>
<p>
            Zones defined within a <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span>
            statement will
            only be accessible to clients that match the <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span>.
            By defining a zone of the same name in multiple views, different
            zone data can be given to different clients, for example,
            "internal"
            and "external" clients in a split DNS setup.
          </p>
<p>
            Many of the options given in the <span><strong class="command">options</strong></span> statement
            can also be used within a <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span>
            statement, and then
            apply only when resolving queries with that view.  When no
            view-specific
            value is given, the value in the <span><strong class="command">options</strong></span> statement
            is used as a default.  Also, zone options can have default values
            specified
            in the <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span> statement; these
            view-specific defaults
            take precedence over those in the <span><strong class="command">options</strong></span> statement.
          </p>
<p>
            Views are class specific.  If no class is given, class IN
            is assumed.  Note that all non-IN views must contain a hint zone,
            since only the IN class has compiled-in default hints.
          </p>
<p>
            If there are no <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span> statements in
            the config
            file, a default view that matches any client is automatically
            created
            in class IN. Any <span><strong class="command">zone</strong></span> statements
            specified on
            the top level of the configuration file are considered to be part
            of
            this default view, and the <span><strong class="command">options</strong></span>
            statement will
            apply to the default view. If any explicit <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span>
            statements are present, all <span><strong class="command">zone</strong></span>
            statements must
            occur inside <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span> statements.
          </p>
<p>
            Here is an example of a typical split DNS setup implemented
            using <span><strong class="command">view</strong></span> statements:
          </p>
<pre class="programlisting">view "internal" {
      // This should match our internal networks.
      match-clients { 10.0.0.0/8; };

      // Provide recursive service to internal
      // clients only.
      recursion yes;

      // Provide a complete view of the example.com
      // zone including addresses of internal hosts.
      zone "example.com" {
            type master;
            file "example-internal.db";
      };
};

view "external" {
      // Match all clients not matched by the
      // previous view.
      match-clients { any; };

      // Refuse recursive service to external clients.
      recursion no;

      // Provide a restricted view of the example.com
      // zone containing only publicly accessible hosts.
      zone "example.com" {
           type master;
           file "example-external.db";
      };
};

                        A slave zone is a replica of a master
                        zone. The <span><strong class="command">masters</strong></span> list
                        specifies one or more IP addresses
                        of master servers that the slave contacts to update
                        its copy of the zone.
                        Masters list elements can also be names of other
                        masters lists.
                        By default, transfers are made from port 53 on the
                        servers; this can
                        be changed for all servers by specifying a port number
                        before the
                        list of IP addresses, or on a per-server basis after
                        the IP address.
                        Authentication to the master can also be done with
                        per-server TSIG keys.
                        If a file is specified, then the
                        replica will be written to this file whenever the zone
                        is changed,
                        and reloaded from this file on a server restart. Use
                        of a file is
                        recommended, since it often speeds server startup and
                        eliminates
                        a needless waste of bandwidth. Note that for large
                        numbers (in the
                        tens or hundreds of thousands) of zones per server, it
                        is best to
                        use a two-level naming scheme for zone filenames. For
                        example,
                        a slave server for the zone <code class="literal">example.com</code> might place
                        the zone contents into a file called
                        <code class="filename">ex/example.com</code> where <code class="filename">ex/</code> is
                        just the first two letters of the zone name. (Most
                        operating systems
                        behave very slowly if you put 100000 files into
                        a single directory.)

                        A stub zone is similar to a slave zone,
                        except that it replicates only the NS records of a
                        master zone instead
                        of the entire zone. Stub zones are not a standard part
                        of the DNS;
                        they are a feature specific to the <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> implementation.
                      </p>

                      <p>
                        Stub zones can be used to eliminate the need for glue
                        NS record
                        in a parent zone at the expense of maintaining a stub
                        zone entry and
                        a set of name server addresses in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
                        This usage is not recommended for new configurations,
                        and BIND 9
                        supports it only in a limited way.
                        In <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 4/8, zone
                        transfers of a parent zone
                        included the NS records from stub children of that
                        zone. This meant
                        that, in some cases, users could get away with
                        configuring child stubs
                        only in the master server for the parent zone. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
                        9 never mixes together zone data from different zones
                        in this
                        way. Therefore, if a <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 master serving a parent
                        zone has child stub zones configured, all the slave
                        servers for the
                        parent zone also need to have the same child stub
                        zones
                        configured.
                      </p>

                      <p>
                        Stub zones can also be used as a way of forcing the
                        resolution
                        of a given domain to use a particular set of
                        authoritative servers.
                        For example, the caching name servers on a private
                        network using
                        RFC1918 addressing may be configured with stub zones
                        for
                        <code class="literal">10.in-addr.arpa</code>
                        to use a set of internal name servers as the
                        authoritative
                        servers for that domain.

                        A "forward zone" is a way to configure
                        forwarding on a per-domain basis.  A <span><strong class="command">zone</strong></span> statement
                        of type <span><strong class="command">forward</strong></span> can
                        contain a <span><strong class="command">forward</strong></span>
                        and/or <span><strong class="command">forwarders</strong></span>
                        statement,
                        which will apply to queries within the domain given by
                        the zone
                        name. If no <span><strong class="command">forwarders</strong></span>
                        statement is present or
                        an empty list for <span><strong class="command">forwarders</strong></span> is given, then no
                        forwarding will be done for the domain, canceling the

                        any forwarders in the <span><strong class="command">options</strong></span> statement. Thus
                        if you want to use this type of zone to change the
                        behavior of the

                        (that is, "forward first"
                        to, then "forward only", or vice versa, but want to
                        use the same
                        servers as set globally) you need to re-specify the

                        The initial set of root name servers is
                        specified using a "hint zone". When the server starts
                        up, it uses
                        the root hints to find a root name server and get the
                        most recent
                        list of root name servers. If no hint zone is

                        servers hints.
                        Classes other than IN have no built-in defaults hints.

<p><acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 supports two alternative
              methods of granting clients the right to perform
              dynamic updates to a zone, configured by the
              <span><strong class="command">allow-update</strong></span> and
              <span><strong class="command">update-policy</strong></span> option, respectively.
            </p>
<p>
              The <span><strong class="command">allow-update</strong></span> clause works the
              same way as in previous versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>.
              It grants given clients the permission to update any
              record of any name in the zone.
            </p>
<p>
              The <span><strong class="command">update-policy</strong></span> clause
              allows more fine-grained control over what updates are
              allowed.  A set of rules is specified, where each rule
              either grants or denies permissions for one or more
              names to be updated by one or more identities.  If
              the dynamic update request message is signed (that is,
              it includes either a TSIG or SIG(0) record), the
              identity of the signer can be determined.
            </p>
<p>
              Rules are specified in the <span><strong class="command">update-policy</strong></span>
              zone option, and are only meaningful for master zones.
              When the <span><strong class="command">update-policy</strong></span> statement
              is present, it is a configuration error for the
              <span><strong class="command">allow-update</strong></span> statement to be
              present.  The <span><strong class="command">update-policy</strong></span> statement
              only examines the signer of a message; the source
              address is not relevant.
            </p>
<p>
              There is a pre-defined <span><strong class="command">update-policy</strong></span>
              rule which can be switched on with the command
              <span><strong class="command">update-policy local;</strong></span>.
              Switching on this rule in a zone causes
              <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> to generate a TSIG session
              key and place it in a file, and to allow that key
              to update the zone.  (By default, the file is
              <code class="filename">/var/run/named/session.key</code>, the key
              name is "local-ddns" and the key algorithm is HMAC-SHA256,
              but these values are configurable with the
              <span><strong class="command">session-keyfile</strong></span>,
              <span><strong class="command">session-keyname</strong></span> and
              <span><strong class="command">session-keyalg</strong></span> options, respectively).
            </p>
<p>
              A client running on the local system, and with appropriate
              permissions, may read that file and use the key to sign update
              requests.  The zone's update policy will be set to allow that
              key to change any record within the zone.  Assuming the
              key name is "local-ddns", this policy is equivalent to:
            </p>
<pre class="programlisting">update-policy { grant local-ddns zonesub any; };
            </pre>
<p>
              The command <span><strong class="command">nsupdate -l</strong></span> sends update
              requests to localhost, and signs them using the session key.
            </p>
<p>
              Other rule definitions look like this:
            </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
( <span><strong class="command">grant</strong></span> | <span><strong class="command">deny</strong></span> ) <em class="replaceable"><code>identity</code></em> <em class="replaceable"><code>nametype</code></em> [<span class="optional"> <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> </span>] [<span class="optional"> <em class="replaceable"><code>types</code></em> </span>]
</pre>
<p>
              Each rule grants or denies privileges.  Once a message has
              successfully matched a rule, the operation is immediately
              granted or denied and no further rules are examined.  A rule
              is matched when the signer matches the identity field, the
              name matches the name field in accordance with the nametype
              field, and the type matches the types specified in the type
              field.
            </p>
<p>
              No signer is required for <em class="replaceable"><code>tcp-self</code></em>
              or <em class="replaceable"><code>6to4-self</code></em> however the standard
              reverse mapping / prefix conversion must match the identity
              field.
            </p>
<p>
              The identity field specifies a name or a wildcard
              name.  Normally, this is the name of the TSIG or
              SIG(0) key used to sign the update request.  When a
              TKEY exchange has been used to create a shared secret,
              the identity of the shared secret is the same as the
              identity of the key used to authenticate the TKEY
              exchange.  TKEY is also the negotiation method used
              by GSS-TSIG, which establishes an identity that is
              the Kerberos principal of the client, such as
              <strong class="userinput"><code>"user@host.domain"</code></strong>.  When the
              <em class="replaceable"><code>identity</code></em> field specifies
              a wildcard name, it is subject to DNS wildcard
              expansion, so the rule will apply to multiple identities.
              The <em class="replaceable"><code>identity</code></em> field must
              contain a fully-qualified domain name.
            </p>
<p>
              The <em class="replaceable"><code>nametype</code></em> field has 13
              values:
              <code class="varname">name</code>, <code class="varname">subdomain</code>,
              <code class="varname">wildcard</code>, <code class="varname">self</code>,
              <code class="varname">selfsub</code>, <code class="varname">selfwild</code>,
              <code class="varname">krb5-self</code>, <code class="varname">ms-self</code>,
              <code class="varname">krb5-subdomain</code>,
              <code class="varname">ms-subdomain</code>,
              <code class="varname">tcp-self</code>, <code class="varname">6to4-self</code>,
              and <code class="varname">zonesub</code>.

                        name twice, and enables the use of a standard
                        <span><strong class="command">update-policy</strong></span> statement in
                        multiple zones without modification.

            This section, largely borrowed from RFC 1034, describes the
            concept of a Resource Record (RR) and explains when each is used.
            Since the publication of RFC 1034, several new RRs have been
            identified
            and implemented in the DNS. These are also included.

<p>
              A domain name identifies a node.  Each node has a set of
              resource information, which may be empty.  The set of resource
              information associated with a particular name is composed of
              separate RRs. The order of RRs in a set is not significant and
              need not be preserved by name servers, resolvers, or other
              parts of the DNS. However, sorting of multiple RRs is
              permitted for optimization purposes, for example, to specify
              that a particular nearby server be tried first. See <a href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#the_sortlist_statement" title="The sortlist Statement">the section called &#8220;The <span><strong class="command">sortlist</strong></span> Statement&#8221;</a> and <a href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#rrset_ordering" title="RRset Ordering">the section called &#8220;RRset Ordering&#8221;</a>.

              The owner name is often implicit, rather than forming an
              integral
              part of the RR.  For example, many name servers internally form
              tree
              or hash structures for the name space, and chain RRs off nodes.
              The remaining RR parts are the fixed header (type, class, TTL)
              which is consistent for all RRs, and a variable part (RDATA)
              that
              fits the needs of the resource being described.
            </p>
<p>
              The meaning of the TTL field is a time limit on how long an
              RR can be kept in a cache.  This limit does not apply to
              authoritative
              data in zones; it is also timed out, but by the refreshing
              policies
              for the zone.  The TTL is assigned by the administrator for the
              zone where the data originates.  While short TTLs can be used to
              minimize caching, and a zero TTL prohibits caching, the
              realities
              of Internet performance suggest that these times should be on
              the
              order of days for the typical host.  If a change can be
              anticipated,
              the TTL can be reduced prior to the change to minimize
              inconsistency
              during the change, and then increased back to its former value
              following
              the change.
            </p>
<p>
              The data in the RDATA section of RRs is carried as a combination
              of binary strings and domain names.  The domain names are
              frequently
              used as "pointers" to other data in the DNS.

<p>
              RRs are represented in binary form in the packets of the DNS
              protocol, and are usually represented in highly encoded form
              when
              stored in a name server or resolver.  In the examples provided
              in
              RFC 1034, a style similar to that used in master files was
              employed
              in order to show the contents of RRs.  In this format, most RRs
              are shown on a single line, although continuation lines are
              possible
              using parentheses.
            </p>
<p>
              The start of the line gives the owner of the RR.  If a line
              begins with a blank, then the owner is assumed to be the same as
              that of the previous RR.  Blank lines are often included for
              readability.
            </p>
<p>
              Following the owner, we list the TTL, type, and class of the
              RR.  Class and type use the mnemonics defined above, and TTL is
              an integer before the type field.  In order to avoid ambiguity
              in
              parsing, type and class mnemonics are disjoint, TTLs are
              integers,
              and the type mnemonic is always last. The IN class and TTL
              values
              are often omitted from examples in the interests of clarity.
            </p>

              The MX RRs have an RDATA section which consists of a 16-bit
              number followed by a domain name.  The address RRs use a
              standard
              IP address format to contain a 32-bit internet address.
            </p>
<p>
              The above example shows six RRs, with two RRs at each of three
              domain names.

<a name="id2594627"></a>Discussion of MX Records</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
            As described above, domain servers store information as a
            series of resource records, each of which contains a particular
            piece of information about a given domain name (which is usually,
            but not always, a host). The simplest way to think of a RR is as
            a typed pair of data, a domain name matched with a relevant datum,
            and stored with some additional type information to help systems
            determine when the RR is relevant.
          </p>
<p>
            MX records are used to control delivery of email. The data
            specified in the record is a priority and a domain name. The
            priority
            controls the order in which email delivery is attempted, with the
            lowest number first. If two priorities are the same, a server is
            chosen randomly. If no servers at a given priority are responding,
            the mail transport agent will fall back to the next largest
            priority.
            Priority numbers do not have any absolute meaning &#8212; they are
            relevant
            only respective to other MX records for that domain name. The
            domain
            name given is the machine to which the mail will be delivered.
            It <span class="emphasis"><em>must</em></span> have an associated address record
            (A or AAAA) &#8212; CNAME is not sufficient.
          </p>
<p>
            For a given domain, if there is both a CNAME record and an
            MX record, the MX record is in error, and will be ignored.
            Instead,
            the mail will be delivered to the server specified in the MX
            record
            pointed to by the CNAME.

            The time-to-live of the RR field is a 32-bit integer represented
            in units of seconds, and is primarily used by resolvers when they
            cache RRs. The TTL describes how long a RR can be cached before it
            should be discarded. The following three types of TTL are
            currently
            used in a zone file.

                      The last field in the SOA is the negative

<p>
            Reverse name resolution (that is, translation from IP address
            to name) is achieved by means of the <span class="emphasis"><em>in-addr.arpa</em></span> domain
            and PTR records. Entries in the in-addr.arpa domain are made in
            least-to-most significant order, read left to right. This is the
            opposite order to the way IP addresses are usually written. Thus,
            a machine with an IP address of 10.1.2.3 would have a
            corresponding

            The Master File Format was initially defined in RFC 1035 and
            has subsequently been extended. While the Master File Format
            itself
            is class independent all records in a Master File must be of the
            same
            class.

                      by modifiers which change the offset from the
                      iterator, field width and base.

                      result as a decimal in a zero-padded field of
                      width 3.

                      Available output forms are decimal
                      (<span><strong class="command">d</strong></span>), octal
                      (<span><strong class="command">o</strong></span>), hexadecimal

                      for uppercase).  The default modifier is
                      <span><strong class="command">${0,0,d}</strong></span>.  If the
                      <span><strong class="command">lhs</strong></span> is not absolute, the
                      current <span><strong class="command">$ORIGIN</strong></span> is appended

            The <span><strong class="command">$GENERATE</strong></span> directive is a <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> extension
            and not part of the standard zone file format.

            BIND 8 does not support the optional TTL and CLASS fields.

<p>
            In addition to the standard textual format, BIND 9
            supports the ability to read or dump to zone files in
            other formats.  The <code class="constant">raw</code> format is
            currently available as an additional format.  It is a
            binary format representing BIND 9's internal data
            structure directly, thereby remarkably improving the
            loading time.
          </p>
<p>
            For a primary server, a zone file in the
            <code class="constant">raw</code> format is expected to be
            generated from a textual zone file by the
            <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span> command.  For a
            secondary server or for a dynamic zone, it is automatically
            generated (if this format is specified by the
            <span><strong class="command">masterfile-format</strong></span> option) when
            <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> dumps the zone contents after
            zone transfer or when applying prior updates.
          </p>
<p>
            If a zone file in a binary format needs manual modification,
            it first must be converted to a textual form by the
            <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span> command.  All
            necessary modification should go to the text file, which
            should then be converted to the binary form by the
            <span><strong class="command">named-compilezone</strong></span> command again.
          </p>
<p>
             Although the <code class="constant">raw</code> format uses the
             network byte order and avoids architecture-dependent
             data alignment so that it is as much portable as

          <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 maintains lots of statistics
          information and provides several interfaces for users to
          get access to the statistics.
          The available statistics include all statistics counters
          that were available in <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8 and

          A subset of Name Server Statistics is collected and shown
          per zone for which the server has the authority when
          <span><strong class="command">zone-statistics</strong></span> is set to
          <strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong>.
          These statistics counters are shown with their zone and view
          names.
          In some cases the view names are omitted for the default view.
        </p>
<p>
          There are currently two user interfaces to get access to the
          statistics.
          One is in the plain text format dumped to the file specified
          by the <span><strong class="command">statistics-file</strong></span> configuration option.
          The other is remotely accessible via a statistics channel
          when the <span><strong class="command">statistics-channels</strong></span> statement
          is specified in the configuration file
          (see <a href="Bv9ARM.ch06.html#statschannels" title="statistics-channels Statement Grammar">the section called &#8220;<span><strong class="command">statistics-channels</strong></span> Statement Grammar&#8221;</a>.)

<div class="sect3" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title">
<a name="statsfile"></a>The Statistics File</h4></div></div></div>
<p>
            The text format statistics dump begins with a line, like:
          </p>
<p>
            <span><strong class="command">+++ Statistics Dump +++ (973798949)</strong></span>
          </p>
<p>
            The number in parentheses is a standard
            Unix-style timestamp, measured as seconds since January 1, 1970.

            Following
            that line is a set of statistics information, which is categorized
            as described above.
            Each section begins with a line, like:
          </p>
<p>
            <span><strong class="command">++ Name Server Statistics ++</strong></span>
          </p>
<p>
            Each section consists of lines, each containing the statistics
            counter value followed by its textual description.
            See below for available counters.
            For brevity, counters that have a value of 0 are not shown
            in the statistics file.
          </p>
<p>
            The statistics dump ends with the line where the
            number is identical to the number in the beginning line; for example:
          </p>
<p>
            <span><strong class="command">--- Statistics Dump --- (973798949)</strong></span>
          </p>

<p>
            The following tables summarize statistics counters that
            <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 provides.
            For each row of the tables, the leftmost column is the
            abbreviated symbol name of that counter.
            These symbols are shown in the statistics information
            accessed via an HTTP statistics channel.
            The rightmost column gives the description of the counter,
            which is also shown in the statistics file
            (but, in this document, possibly with slight modification
            for better readability).
            Additional notes may also be provided in this column.
            When a middle column exists between these two columns,
            it gives the corresponding counter name of the
            <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8 statistics, if applicable.
