Hi list, We are observing strange behavior of nsd v3.2.9 acting as slave DNS server. The environment is set up as follows: 0. We are using 172.16.0.0/16 subnet; 1. Primary Master server at 172.16.100.114; 2. Slave server at 172.16.100.115. The config file is in /etc/nsd-dns-slave.conf; 3. There may be also other Master servers im the given subnet. Now I want to permit DNS NOTIFY messages to

hi, while all files is owned by nsd user and nsd run as nsd the nsd.db is still owned by root user (because the compiler run as root and create this file as root, ok i know just it'd be better if this file is owned by nsd too). another strange thing is that on the slave nsd i've got such messages: ----------------------------------------- zonec: reading zone "lfarkas.org".

hi, after i test nsd i find the following. if i use this in a zone file: $ORIGIN example.com. CNAME www www CNAME x x A 1.2.3.4 then it's excepted by nsd what's more give the proper result. if the slave is nsd than there is no problem, while if the slave is bind i've got the following error:

Hello World, I am trying to build NSD4 on Debian Squeeze and I get the following errors when running `make`. ``` $ pwd /home/wiz/src/nsd/tags/NSD_4_0_0_imp_5 $ make [... output omitted ...] gcc -g -O2 -o nsd-checkconf answer.o axfr.o buffer.o configlexer.o configparse acket.o query.o rbtree.o radtree.o rdata.o region-allocator.o tsig.o tsig-opens 4_pton.o b64_ntop.o -lcrypto configparser.o: In

Hi, The man page for nsd.conf claims the following syntax is valid: provide-xfr: 0/0 NOKEY However, this gives the error: /var/dnsx/nsd.zones:9: error: Bad ip4 address '0' The following does work: provide-xfr: 0.0.0.0/0 NOKEY So either the code is wrong, or the man page :) Paul

Hi, I'm doing some quick tests with nsd-4.0.0b5 and (rc2). And found something strange when changing (nsd-control reconfig) one zone from: zone: name: 10.in-addr.arpa zonefile: /zones/empty.zone to zone: name: 10.in-addr.arpa request-xfr: 192.168.122.12 NOKEY allow-notify: 192.168.122.12 NOKEY zonefile: /zones/slave/10.rev and doing nsd-control reconfig. After

We upgraded to NSD 3.2.9 (from 3.2.8) because we encountered the problem "Fix denial of existence response for empty non-terminal that looks like a NSEC3-only domain (but has data below it)." (a nasty problem with DNSSEC). But we now have IXFR issues. On one name server, NSD 3.2.9 works fine, zones are IXFRed and work. On another name server, with much more zones (and big ones), we

Hi, I'm a sys admin and currently working for a french hosting company. We provide DNS services to our customers and at the moment we are using BIND on Debian servers. BIND is a good software but we don't need a recursing DNS for our public DNS, and we needed better security than what BIND provides. So I made the suggestion to replace BIND by another DNS software. NSD appears to be the

Hello, My question is not related to NSD in particular, but I have seen here on the list a lot of people that work for TLDs and other Registrars and Registry operators I thought it would be a good place to ask this question. It is about DNS though, not completely off topic :). I have encountered in my DNS studies a few name servers that let you transfer zones they are authoritative for. The

Hello!

I have used tinydns for many many years now and it has always worked very well. I like its simplicity: 1 text file is converted into a cdb database, there's no master/slave environment (all nameservers are equal) and synchronisation is done by rsync. Tinydns is run by runit, a supervise system. I'm looking at NSD now and I think I can use NSD the same way I use tinydns. The only

NSD 2.3.2 is a bugfix release. Please see the README document for configuration and installation instructions. You can download NSD from http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/ Note: we switched to SHA-1 for tarball digest. 2.3.2 ============= FEATURES: - Bug #101: add support for the SPF record. BUG FIXES: - Bug #100: replaced non-portable use of timegm(3) with portable

Hi all, we have discovered a segfault in nsd-patch when renaming slave zone in nsd config file if some data for this zone still exists in the IXFR diff database. In my case, the zone "black" was renamed to "blackinwhite": > root at ggd115:/cage/nsd/var/nsd/zones#nsd-patch -c > /cage/nsd/etc/nsd-dns-slave.conf > reading database > reading updates to database >

Hi, I'm new to NSD and would really appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction. I have like 8 NSD servers (secondary) serving around 30,000 zones. Zone updates are transferred from the primary DNS servers by AXFR/IXFR. The 8 NSD servers do not save the zones file on disk but are only held in memory. Therefore after NSD service is restarted zone transfer requests are being

hi, At least with a recent version if it is a time sync issue nsd will do a specific log msg that. Laura, can you send over the actual configuration? (maybe replacing the key with a placeholder or rotating the keys afterwards) It sounds strange if nsd checks tsig on the notify, but allow xfr without it.

Hi there! I remember reading that you cannot reload new zone files on the fly and require a full restart of the nsd daemon? We are evaluating multiple DNS servers that have better performance comparing to bind, but will require quite heavy zone reload (new and existing) every 10 minutes or so. Downtime (even 1-3 secs) is not the option. Thanks!

Can nsd 2.3.3 make load balancing? Example: www 600 IN A 10.0.0.1 600 IN A 10.0.0.2 600 IN A 10.0.0.3 Greet Sebastian Schikora

Hello Wouter, We used tinydns for many years. After migration to nsd3 we miss only one feature present in tinydns only: tinydns may switch addresses by decreasing the ttl for old data and serve new data starting from a fixed timestamp. http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/tinydns-data.html: You may include a timestamp on each line. If ttl is nonzero (or omitted), the timestamp is a starting time for the

I'm trying to set up a machine which will be running multiple instances of NSD to serve different sets of zones from different interfaces. What I'm running into is that I can't specify different PID files to refer to on the command line. Are there any shortcuts or do I need to go write a patch? Any other implications of multiple instances? --
