This is for ticket 38106.
The initial patch was okayed, but then another commenter mentioned
that max-zone-ttl also allows TTL units so I mention that also
without review.
Note for the ticket, resolver-query-timeout change was
already handled last month in my commit 8789f39b
I didn't get this reviewed but looked at source where
dns_resolver_settimeout value is called "seconds"
and the comments for the maximum and default macros say "seconds".
4152. [func] Implement DNS COOKIE option. This replaces the
experimental SIT option of BIND 9.10. The following
named.conf directives are available: send-cookie,
cookie-secret, cookie-algorithm, nocookie-udp-size
and require-server-cookie. The following dig options
are available: +[no]cookie[=value] and +[no]badcookie.
[RT #39928]
3938. [func] Added quotas to be used in recursive resolvers
that are under high query load for names in zones
whose authoritative servers are nonresponsive or
are experiencing a denial of service attack.
- "fetches-per-server" limits the number of
simultaneous queries that can be sent to any
single authoritative server. The configured
value is a starting point; it is automatically
adjusted downward if the server is partially or
completely non-responsive. The algorithm used to
adjust the quota can be configured via the
"fetch-quota-params" option.
- "fetches-per-zone" limits the number of
simultaneous queries that can be sent for names
within a single domain. (Note: Unlike
"fetches-per-server", this value is not
self-tuning.)
- New stats counters have been added to count
queries spilled due to these quotas.
See the ARM for details of these options. [RT #37125]
4156. [func] Added statistics counters to track the sizes
of incoming queries and outgoing responses in
histogram buckets, as specified in RSSAC002.
