A very useful package for testing and troubleshooting DNS issues is the dnsutils package. Some of the most useful setups are: Caching Server In this configuration BIND9 will find the answer to name queries and remember the answer for the next query. This can be useful for a slow internet connection. By caching DNS queries, you will reduce bandwidth and more importantly latency.
Primary Master Server BIND9 can be used to serve DNS records groups of records are referred to as zones for a registered domain name or an imaginary one but only if used on a restricted network. Secondary Master Server A secondary master DNS server is used to complement a primary master DNS server by serving a copy of the zone s configured on the primary server. Secondary servers are recommended in larger setups. If you intend to serve a registered domain name they ensure that your DNS zone is still available even if your primary server is not online.
All that is required is simply combining the different configuration examples. These are effectively the same as Primary and Secondary DNS servers, but with a slight organizational difference. A is the Primary, B and C are secondaries.
It's still a secondary, but it's not going to be asked about the zone you are serving to the internet from A and B If you configure your registered domain to use B and C as your domain's DNS servers, then A is a stealth primary.
Any additional records or edits to the zone are done on A, but computers on the internet will only ever ask B and C about the zone. Address Records The most commonly used type of record. This record maps an IP Address to a hostname. But it doubles the number of requests made to the nameserver, thus making it an inefficient way to do so.
Multiple MX records can exist if multiple mail servers are responsible for that domain. IN MX 10 mail. This is where Primary and Secondary servers are defined. Stealth servers are intentionally omitted. IN NS ns. This is due to the server caching the query. This configuration allows scaling the answer capacity by adding more secondaries, while zone information is maintained in only one place.
The primary signals that updated information is available with a NOTIFY message to the secondaries, and the secondaries then initiate a zone transfer from the primary. There are a number of configuration options for controlling the zone updating process. In the most common application, a web browser uses a local stub resolver library on the same computer to look up names in the DNS.
That stub resolver is part of the operating system. The stub resolver usually will forward queries to a caching resolver, a server or group of servers on the network dedicated to DNS services. Those resolvers will send queries to one or multiple authoritative servers in order to find the IP address for that DNS name. Prefetch popular records before they expire from the cache. This will improve the performance delivered to end users for resolving names that have short expiration times.
From time to time you may get incorrect or outdated records in the resolver cache. BIND 9 gives you the ability to remove them selectively or as a group. This allows you to give internal on-network and external from the Internet users different views of your DNS data, keeping some DNS information private. BIND 9 offers two configuration parameters, fetches-per-zone and fetches-per-server. These features enable rate-limiting queries to authoritative systems that appear to be under attack.
These features have been successful in mitigating the impact of a DDoS attack on resolvers in the path of the attack. In BIND 9, this is enabled with a single command. The primary application is for blocking access to domains that are believed to be published for abusive or illegal purposes. There are companies that specialize in identifying abusive sites on the Internet, which market these lists in the form of RPZ feeds.
This feature minimizes leakage of excessive detail about the query to systems that need those details. These implementations are available in the development branch today. We also have an official Docker image. Download sources here and follow these instructions to verify a download file. Note that BIND 9. Before submitting a bug report, please ensure that you are running a current version.
If you think this bug may be a security vulnerability, please do not log it in Gitlab, but instead send an email to security-officer isc. The BIND 9 core development team includes three people who focus on quality assurance. Any host labels below the origin will append the origin hostname to assemble a fully qualified hostname.
Any host label within a record that uses a fully qualified domain terminating with an ending period will not append the origin hostname. This is typically used for the apex of a zone. A Start Of Authority record is required for each zone. A zone file is a collection of resource records with each record entry described in the following sequence:. Hostmaster Email — Address of the party responsible for the zone.
