Add a warning about potential performance implications of configuring a
non-root zone as a mirror zone. Explain in more detail how each mirror
zone version is validated and how validation failures are handled. Move
the paragraphs describing how to set up IANA root zone mirroring higher
up, so that they can be more easily found by the reader. Explicitly
state that the "masters" option needs to be present for any mirror zone
which is not the root zone. Tweak the description of the interaction
between the "dnssec-validation" setting and root zone mirroring to make
it less ambiguous. Specify what the default "notify" setting is for
mirror zones.
- options that were flagged as obsolete or not implemented in 9.0.0
are now flagged as "ancient", and are a fatal error
- the ARM has been updated to remove these, along with other
obsolete descriptions of BIND 8 behavior
- the log message for obsolete options explicitly recommends removal
- "hook" is now used only for hook points and hook actions
- the "hook" statement in named.conf is now "plugin"
- ns_module and ns_modlist are now ns_plugin and ns_plugins
- ns_module_load is renamed ns_plugin_register
- the mandatory functions in plugin modules (hook_register,
hook_check, hook_version, hook_destroy) have been renamed
Contrary to what the documentation states, the "server-addresses"
static-stub zone option does not accept custom port numbers. Fix the
configuration type used by the "server-addresses" option to ensure
documentation matches source code. Remove a check_zoneconf() test which
is unnecessary with this fix in place.
- if dnssec-enable is no, then dnssec-validation now also defaults to
no. if dnssec-enable is yes, dnssec-validation defaults to auto or yes
depending on --disable-auto-validation.
- correct the doc
For inline-signed zones, the value of "ixfr-from-differences" is
hardcoded to:
- "yes" for the raw version of the zone,
- "no" for the signed version of the zone.
In other words, any user-provided "ixfr-from-differences" setting is
effectively ignored for an inline-signed zone. Ensure the user is aware
of that by adding a note to the ARM and logging a message when an
"ixfr-from-differences" option is found at the zone level.
- added new 'validate-except' option, which configures an NTA with
expiry of 0xffffffff. NTAs with that value in the expiry field do not
expire, are are not written out when saving the NTA table and are not
dumped by rndc secroots
