Commit bdb777b2a2 updated the man pages
to contents produced using:
- Sphinx 4.0.2
- sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2
- docutils 0.17.1
However, sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2 is incompatible with versions 0.17+ of
the docutils package. This problem was addressed in the Docker image
used for building man pages by downgrading the docutils package to
version 0.16.
Regenerate the man pages again, this time using:
- Sphinx 4.0.2
- sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2
- docutils 0.16
This is necessary to prevent the "docs" GitLab CI job from failing.

.SH SYNOPSIS

|
|
\fBplugin query\fP "filter\-a.so" [{ parameters }];
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fBfilter\-a.so\fP is a query plugin module for \fBnamed\fP, enabling
|
|
\fBnamed\fP to omit some IPv4 addresses when responding to clients.
|
|
.sp
|
|
For example:
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.INDENT 3.5
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ft C
|
|
plugin query "/usr/local/lib/filter\-a.so" {
|
|
filter\-a\-on\-v6 yes;
|
|
filter\-a\-on\-v4 yes;
|
|
filter\-a { 192.0.2.1; 2001:db8:2::1; };
|
|
};
|
|

.sp
|
|
This module is intended to aid transition from IPv4 to IPv6 by
|
|
withholding IPv4 addresses from DNS clients which are not connected to
|
|
the IPv4 Internet, when the name being looked up has an IPv6 address
|
|
available. Use of this module is not recommended unless absolutely
|
|
necessary.
|
|
.sp
|
|
Note: This mechanism can erroneously cause other servers not to give
|
|
A records to their clients. If a recursing server with both IPv6 and
|
|
IPv4 network connections queries an authoritative server using this
|
|
mechanism via IPv6, it is denied A records even if its client is
|
|
using IPv4.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \fBfilter\-a\fP
|
|
This option specifies a list of client addresses for which A filtering is to
|
|
be applied. The default is \fBany\fP\&.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \fBfilter\-a\-on\-v6\fP
|
|
If set to \fByes\fP, this option indicates that the DNS client is at an IPv6 address, in
|
|
\fBfilter\-a\fP\&. If the response does not include DNSSEC
|
|
signatures, then all A records are deleted from the response. This
|
|
filtering applies to all responses, not only authoritative
|
|
ones.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If set to \fBbreak\-dnssec\fP, then A records are deleted even when
|
|
DNSSEC is enabled. As suggested by the name, this causes the response
|
|
to fail to verify, because the DNSSEC protocol is designed to detect
|
|
deletions.
|
|
.sp
|
|
This mechanism can erroneously cause other servers not to give A
|
|
records to their clients. If a recursing server with both IPv6 and IPv4
|
|
network connections queries an authoritative server using this
|
|
mechanism via IPv6, it is denied A records even if its client is
|
|
using IPv4.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \fBfilter\-a\-on\-v4\fP
|
|
This option is identical to \fBfilter\-a\-on\-v6\fP, except that it filters A responses
|
|
to queries from IPv4 clients instead of IPv6 clients. To filter all
|
|
responses, set both options to \fByes\fP\&.
