Re: injecting a temp entry into dns cache

There is a credit union website that our users access from work and

know they have some kind of problem, but they ask users to type www.
in their browser until it's resolved.

In situations like this I would like to be able to inject an entry
into the cache on our recursive resolvers and point it to the correct
IP until the domain
owner fixes the problem (poison my own cache so to speak). Is this
something that can be done with bind without having to create a zone
for the broken domain and make our servers act as authoritative for
it?


You can do this with RPZ. Simply put:

thebrokensite.org.your.rpz.zone. IN A working.ip.add.r

...into the RPZ zone. This will leave names *under* that zone alone. 
I've used RPZ this way a couple of times to fix temporary problems, but 
you need to be aware of the hole you can dig yourself if you end up 
having to do this permanently.

Performance impact of a large ACL list.

2013-02-04 Thread Augie Schwer
Does anyone have any experience using a large ( 1k ) entry ACL list?

Was there any performance degradation?

I haven't implemented my ACL yet, but it has quickly ballooned up, and I am
hoping to get some advice from others in a similar situation.

It has been a few years since I researched this.  (I should re-add this 
to my existing performance and resource usage tests.)

BIND 9.5 had various ACL improvements including support for O(1) ACL 
processing, based on radix tree code. As one example, with 20,000 to 
100,000 ACLs some of my tests for 9.4 only has around 80 to 400 qps, 
while the new version has around 21,000 qps.
