3751. [tuning] The default setting for the -U option (setting
the number of UDP listeners per interface) has
been adjusted to improve performance. [RT #35417]
in draft-andrews-dnsext-expire-00. Retrivial of
remaining time to expiry from slave zones is supported.
EXPIRE uses an experimental option code (65002) and
is subject to change. [RT #35416]
3746. [func] New "max-zone-ttl" option enforces maximum
TTLs for zones. If loading a zone containing a
higher TTL, the load fails. DDNS updates with
higher TTLs are accepted but the TTL is truncated.
(Note: Currently supported for master zones only;
inline-signing slaves will be added.) [RT #38405]
3745. [func] "configure --with-tuning=large" adjusts various
compiled-in constants and default settings to
values suited to large servers with abundant
memory. [RT #29538]
(which are similar to DNS Cookies by Donald Eastlake)
and are designed to help clients detect off path
spoofed responses and for servers to detect legitimate
clients.
SIT use a experimental EDNS option code (65001).
SIT can be enabled via --enable-developer or
--enable-sit. It is on by default in Windows.
RRL processing as been updated to know about SIT with
legitimate clients not being rate limited. [RT #35389]
3741. [func] "delve" (domain entity lookup and validation engine):
A new tool with dig-like semantics for performing DNS
lookups, with internal DNSSEC validation, using the
same resolver and validator logic as named. This
allows easy validation of DNSSEC data in environments
with untrustworthy resolvers, and assists with
troubleshooting of DNSSEC problems. (Note: not yet
available on win32.) [RT #32406]
3733. [func] Improve interface scanning support. Interface
information will be automatically updated if the
OS supports routing sockets (MacOS, *BSD, Linux).
Use "automatic-interface-scan no;" to disable.
Add "rndc scan" to trigger a scan. [RT #23027]
information will be automatically updated if the
OS supports routing sockets. Use
"automatic-interface-scan no;" to disable.
Add "rndc scan" to trigger a scan. [RT #23027]
3731. [func] Added a "no-case-compress" ACL, which causes
named to use case-insensitive compression
(disabling change #3645) for specified
clients. (This is useful when dealing
with broken client implementations that
use case-sensitive name comparisons,
rejecting responses that fail to match the
capitalization of the query that was sent.)
[RT #35300]
3715. [bug] The region and city databases could fail to
initialize when using some versions of libGeoIP,
causing assertion failures when named was
configured to use them. [RT #35427]
3705. [func] "configure --enable-native-pkcs11" enables BIND
to use the PKCS#11 API for all cryptographic
functions, so that it can drive a hardware service
module directly without the need to use a modified
OpenSSL as intermediary (so long as the HSM's vendor
provides a complete-enough implementation of the
PKCS#11 interface). This has been tested successfully
with the Thales nShield HSM and with SoftHSMv2 from
the OpenDNSSEC project. [RT #29031]
3700. [func] Allow access to subgroups of XML statistics via
special URLs http://<server>:<port>/xml/v3/server,
/zones, /net, /tasks, /mem, and /status. [RT #35115]
3699. [bug] Improvements to statistics channel XSL stylesheet:
the stylesheet can now be cached by the browser;
section headers are omitted from the stats display
when there is no data in those sections to be
displayed; counters are now right-justified for
easier readability. [RT #35117]
