Sometimes it is useful to set a 'floor' on the TTL for records
to be cached. Some sites like to use ridiculously low TTLs for
some reason, and that often is not compatible with slow links.

In BIND 9.11 and earlier, dig and similar tools used liblwres for
parsing /etc/resolv.conf. After getting a list of servers from
liblwres, a tool would check the address family of each server found and
reject those unusable. When the resulting list of usable servers was
empty, localhost addresses were queried as a fallback.
When liblwres was removed in BIND 9.12, dig and similar tools were
updated to parse /etc/resolv.conf using libirs instead. As part of that
process, the localhost fallback was removed from bin/dig/dighost.c since
the localhost fallback built into libirs was deemed to be sufficient.
However, libirs only falls back to localhost if it does not find any
name servers at all; if it does find any valid nameserver entry in
/etc/resolv.conf, it just returns it to the caller because it is
oblivious to whether the caller supports IPv4 and/or IPv6 or not. The
code in bin/dig/dighost.c subsequently filters the returned list of
servers in get_server_list() according to the requested address family
restrictions. This may result in none of the addresses returned by
libirs being usable, in which case a tool will attempt to work with an
empty server list, causing a hang and subsequently a crash upon user
interruption.
Restore the localhost fallback in bin/dig/dighost.c to prevent the
aforementioned hangs and crashes and ensure recent BIND versions behave
identically to the older ones in the circumstances described above.
If a tool using the routines defined in bin/dig/dighost.c is sent an
interruption signal around the time a connection timeout is scheduled to
fire, connect_timeout() may be executed after destroy_libs() detaches
from the global task (setting 'global_task' to NULL), which results in a
crash upon a UDP retry due to bringup_timer() attempting to create a
timer with 'task' set to NULL. Fix by preventing connect_timeout() from
attempting a retry when shutdown is in progress.
While implementing the new unit testing framework cmocka, it was found that the
BIND 9 code doesn't compile when assertions are disabled or replaced with any
function (such as mock_assert() from cmocka unit testing framework) that's not
directly recognized as assertion by the compiler.
This made the compiler to complain about blocks of code that was recognized as
unreachable before, but now it isn't.
The changes in this commit include:
* assigns default values to couple of local variables,
* moves some return statements around INSIST assertions,
* adds __builtin_unreachable(); annotations after some INSIST assertions,
* fixes one broken assertion (= instead of ==)
Tell the user explicitly about their mistakes:
* Unknown options, e.g. -list instead of -dump
or -delete instead of -remove.
* Unknown view names.
* Excess arguments.
Include the view name in `rndc nta -dump` output, for consistency with
the NTA add and remove actions.
When removing an NTA from all views, do not abort with an error if the
NTA was not found in one of the views.
Ensure that serve-stale works as expected when returning stale answers
is enabled, the authoritative server does not respond, and there is no
cached answer available.
Refactor diagnostic tools code to no longer use:
- isc_socket_recvv()
- isc_socket_sendtov2()
- isc_socket_sendv()
as these functions will be removed shortly.
