Oh, nice, I must have looked at a stale branch by accident :-)

In recent versions of BIND, the jitter is no longer 1 hour, but spread out
over the signature validity period.

I filed an enhancement request about a year ago on this topic, and why BIND
should spread out the jitter:

https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/issues/418

The changes first appeared in BIND 9.12.3 I believe.

The prompt would have been regular zone re-signing activity, which (as
Mark says) is done in small chunks. You can control the size of the chunks
with the `sig-signing-nodes` and `sig-signing-signatures` options. If you
want to reduce NOTIFY / IXFR traffic, you might want to increase these
options, though it's probably only a good idea if you have a hidden
primary server that isn't answering other queries.

You should find that re-signing gets spread out over time due to update
activity and because of the randomizing jitter that Mark mentioned. So on
a more mature zone you might not get such an intense flurry of signature
updates. The jitter is 1 hour (in normal configurations) and there isn't
a direct way to change it, unlike the -j option to `dnssec-signzone`.

Re: DNSSEC inline/auto - burst of resigning/updates ?

2019-09-06 Thread Mark Andrews
Named splits the re-signing load up into small chunks so that all the cpu isn’t
consumed signing the zone and the server can still answer question, accept 
updates,
etc.  It does this by randomly reducing the expiry time by a small amount for 
each
chunk it signs, the exception to this is the SOA record that is always signed 
with
the full validity interval as it acts as a sentinel indicating the zone has been
fully processed.

Also if you are doing dynamic updates to the same machine that is signing the 
zone
I would recommend NOT using inline signing.  All it does is complicate the 
process
and consume more memory for no benefit.

DNSSEC inline/auto - burst of resigning/updates ?

2019-09-06 Thread Brandon Applegate
Hello,

I just very recently set up all my zones for inline signing + auto maintain.  
Prior to this I had cron jobs resigning and it was working okay.  But after I 
read up on inline/auto I thought it to be much more elegant.

Anyway, basically the behavior I expect and observe is that bind periodically 
resigns my zones based on the sig-validity-interval values.  Also, if I push a 
DDNS update (I do this for my home firewall for remote access (dynamic IP) as 
well as rotating my DKIM keys), I expect the zone to get resigned and my slaves 
get NOTIFYs and pull it.  All of this happens.

Tonight though in about an hour, the serial number was incremented 12 times and 
NOTIFYs sent.  My home firewall is stable, and my DKIM rotation happens monthly 
via cron.  So there’s nothing in the logs regarding a DDNS update.

My question is - what could prompt these changes ?  I don’t see a pattern in 
time or anything else in the logs.

Also if there’s some debug I can toggle or increase I’m all ears…

Here’s the zone in question and it’s config stanza:

zone "burn.net" IN {
type master;
file "burn.net.zone";
update-policy {
grant vom.burn.net. zonesub A  TXT;
};
key-directory "/var/cache/bind/keys";
auto-dnssec maintain;
inline-signing yes;
sig-validity-interval 14 9;
};

# grep -i burn.net /var/log/syslog | grep notifies
Sep  6 17:54:43 orbital named[9857]: zone burn.net/IN (signed): sending 
notifies (serial 2019082736)
