Hi, Our 2 x public authoritative DNS servers (vmware, 8 CPU, 16G RAM, BIND 9.18.28, about 700 zones) are constantly getting DDOS attacks. Despite allkind (increasing buffers, disabling firewall port 53 in/out tracking etc) BIND still gives during attack about 50K udp errors, even CPU and RAM usage are normal, so I'm currently testing dnsdist 1.9.6.
I've browsed the last 2 years of mailing list archives and read the official docs, but still haven't figured out the best addLocal/newServer combination. So few questions: 1) What amount of addLocal/newServer I should use? First I tried 8 x addLocal/newServer for ipv4 and 8 x addLocal/newServer for ipv6, but CPU usage was very high, when using instead of using 2 x addLocal/newServer for ipv4 and 2 x addLocal/newServer for ipv6, then CPU usage is much lower, however the qps was same in both cases? 2) I'm using 3 in a row MaxQPSIPRules, but the first one is listed (as the last rule) on the web server: 5 (IP (/32, /64) match for QPS over 5 burst 5) && (UDP) tc=1 answer How can I see also the others there, as I’d like view there their matches also on the web server? Rules are there: showRules() 5 814105 (IP (/32, /64) match for QPS over 5 burst 5) && (UDP) tc=1 answer 6 254988 (IP (/32, /64) match for QPS over 10 burst 10) && (TCP) delay by 10 ms 7 45472 (IP (/32, /64) match for QPS over 20 burst 20) && (TCP) drop And getting hits: > topRules() # Name Matches Rule Action 0 805888 (IP (/32, /64) match for QPS over 5 burst 5) && (UDP) tc=1 answer 1 251769 (IP (/32, /64) match for QPS over 10 burst 10) && (TCP) delay by 10 ms 2 45387 (IP (/32, /64) match for QPS over 20 burst 20) && (TCP) drop 3) Can you give any tuning/configuration hints based my current config: setACL({'0.0.0.0/0', '::/0'}) addLocal('127.0.0.1:53', { reusePort=true, tcpFastOpenQueueSize=100 }) addLocal('x.x.x.x:53', { reusePort=true, tcpFastOpenQueueSize=100 }) addLocal('[::1]:53', { reusePort=true, tcpFastOpenQueueSize=100 }) addLocal('[x::1]:53', { reusePort=true, tcpFastOpenQueueSize=100 }) newServer({address="127.0.0.1:5353", tcpFastOpen=true, maxCheckFailures=5"}) newServer({address="127.0.0.1:5353", tcpFastOpen=true, maxCheckFailures=5"}) newServer({address="[::1]:5353", tcpFastOpen=true, maxCheckFailures=5"}) newServer({address="[::1]:5353", tcpFastOpen=true, maxCheckFailures=5"}) setSecurityPollSuffix("") pc = newPacketCache(10000000, {maxTTL=86400, minTTL=0, temporaryFailureTTL=60, staleTTL=60, dontAge=false}) getPool(""):setCache(pc) setRingBuffersSize(1000000, 100) setMaxTCPClientThreads(20) setMaxUDPOutstanding(65535) local secondaryServersACL = newNMG() secondaryServersACL:addMask("x.x.x.x") secondaryServersACL:addMask("x.x.x.x") addAction(AndRule({QTypeRule(DNSQType.AXFR), NetmaskGroupRule(secondaryServersACL)}), AllowAction()) addAction(AndRule({QTypeRule(DNSQType.IXFR), NetmaskGroupRule(secondaryServersACL)}), AllowAction()) addAction(NetmaskGroupRule(secondaryServersACL), AllowAction()) addAction(OrRule({OpcodeRule(DNSOpcode.Notify), OpcodeRule(DNSOpcode.Update), QTypeRule(DNSQType.AXFR), QTypeRule(DNSQType.IXFR)}), RCodeAction(DNSRCode.REFUSED)) addAction(QTypeRule(DNSQType.ANY), RCodeAction(DNSRCode.SERVFAIL)) addAction(AndRule{MaxQPSIPRule(5), TCPRule(false)}, TCAction()) addAction(AndRule{MaxQPSIPRule(10), TCPRule(true)}, DelayAction(10)) addAction(AndRule{MaxQPSIPRule(20), TCPRule(true)}, DropAction()) controlSocket("127.0.0.1") setKey('xxxx') webserver("x.x.x.x:8083") setWebserverConfig({password="xxxx"}) -- Mart _______________________________________________ dnsdist mailing list dnsdist@mailman.powerdns.com https://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/dnsdist
