Complete the support for persistent databases (disable initial load,
journalling, etc)
Review man pages
write named.conf(5) man page
Complete OMAPI security review
Complete server input code path security review
message.c, tcpmsg.c + places where tcpmsg.c functionality is duplicated,
request.c
Review lwres input code path for buffer overflows
Document function REQUIREs in omapi and parser
Make the configure script detect systems with insufficient threads support
Write libdns overview document (even if it only says "don't use
libdns")
Improve these error messages:
rndc: operation failed: verify failure (failed to verify signature)
rndc: reload command failure: verify failure
In the lexer, when you unget a token and then re-get it with different
options, the new options do not apply. This makes the lexer useless
for parsing the nsupdate command line, because here we need to peek for
an end-of-line, unget it, and then read an rdata which may require
specific flags.
Do something about the commented-out interface scanning code in
getaddrinfo()
Add a built-in localhost zone feature
Mark says we should check that a partial rrset dynamic
update will cause the resulting full rrset to have the
new ttl, and check that RFC2136 actually says this
Implement rrsert-order and sortlist. Mark says rrset-order is applied
first, sortlist last.
Support long command line options
Convert the documentation to XML
Add support for cross-zone glue
mark: explain "database file older than last load"
Add quotes around logging category names in named.conf examples
where they are missing
Review the use of debug levels and make it more consistent
Add configuration option for generating IXFRs by calculating the
difference between two zone versions (most of the code is already
there)
Examine why aa:/usr/var/adm/syslog.dated/22-May-17:37/daemon.log has:
May 23 08:19:58 aa named[24603]: starting BIND 9.0.0b3
May 23 08:19:58 aa syslog: loading configuration from '/build/gson/local/namedb
(why named then syslog?)
Define easy-to-parse subset of master file format and make dig support
it; make that the recommended way of exporting zone data.
Support general time specifiers like "4d10m" in named.conf
Eliminate meta types on input
Implement "additional data max/min/internal"
(whatever that means)
Stomp error memory leaks
Implement per-domain forwarding
Implement sortlists (in the server)
Check for things still being logged with printf
Avoid ADB negative caching if an ADB-originated fetch fails due to a local
resource problem (e.g. ISC_R_NOMEMORY or ISC_R_QUOTA).
Write a paper on the flaws of DNSSEC
Improve logging infrastructure to simplify providing context information
Decide on one set of CHECK()/RETERR() macros and put it in a common
header file
Set up interoperability test server
Replace the calls to qsort() with a merge sort to avoid potential
stack overflow
Choose ixfr/axfr depending on zone/diff size
dns_db_createsoatuple -> journal_ ?
Support $DATE fully
Look at all the XXXes in the code
Persistent cache option
From the old TODO file at the top of the source tree:
1. Rdataset/Rdatalist Union
3. Finish mempool conversion of message.c
5. isc/util.h publish or perish
8. Check base 64 code; does it have the problems that
the BIND 8 code does?
9. Authority is optional if we have answers?
11. KEY duplication (answer + additional) in any query
12. Fix rdata META flag to be set for TSIG, TKEY, OPT
13. Intergrate (replace?) old per zone SOA timers with zomemgr
14. RWlock for zonemgr zone list
15. CHAOS A's
16. implement "doc" checks out of zonemgr.
