nsd users - Nov 2017 - NSD 4.1.18rc2 pre-release

Hi,

NSD 4.1.18rc1 pre release is available:
http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/nsd/nsd-4.1.18rc1.tar.gz
sha256 747a8fb0ca0a6c057f02b17d60df132168f3ae2cf6b4b0e8937fb78df9eaa52e
pgp http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/nsd/nsd-4.1.18rc1.tar.gz.asc


This release has features for saving memory and faster notification.
With --enable-packed, 33% memory savings could be had, or something
along that size.  Notification of secondary servers happens in parallel,
and has faster timeouts.  More sockets are used for zone transfers.
This speeds up communication with a larger set of servers.


4.1.18
===============FEATURES:
- xfr-inspect, it is not installed, it prints xfr files from /tmp
  made with 'make xfr-inspect' in the source dir.
- retry timeout between sending notifies dropped from 15 to 3 sec.
- NSD sends 16 notifies simultaneously.
- configure --enable-packed reduces memory usage, at expense of
  unaligned reads.  Saves about 17%.
- Save memory by selectively allocate precompiled nsec3 hashes,
  saves about 16% memory.
- make ip-transparent option work on OpenBSD.
- Save about 2% memory by changing usage count size in name tree.
- Fix #2871: Increase number of sockets for xfrd transfers.

BUG FIXES:
- Fix gcc 7.1.1 warnings.
- Fix writev compile warning on FreeBSD.
- Fix #1446: A corrupted zone file "propagates" to good ones.
- nsd-control zonestatus prints wait time between attempts, for zones
  that are in that waiting time.
- Fix collision printout of nsec3 to print name, hash and reverse.
- Fix #1567: Change crit to err log level for gettimeofday failure.
  Add defines for compile without syslog.


Best regards, Wouter

What is the downside of this option? I assume there is one, because
otherwise this would not be a compile time option?

I'm trying to make the determination for RHEL/CentOS/Fedora on whether
I want this compile time option enabled or not.

Hi,

NSD 4.1.18rc2 pre release is available:
http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/nsd/nsd-4.1.18rc2.tar.gz
sha256 d024d9c4bf9dcad7376a206544329345154eba156d29d66e3e5977d0aec21a7b

This RC2 additionally fixes a just-fixed crash bug for dual-loaded
parent-and-child zone configured at the same time, when one of the zones
has not loaded properly.

Best regards, Wouter
