RNDC Stats

2019-01-24 Thread N. Max Pierson
Hi List,

I am trying to pull some metrics from our bind servers and I don't quite
understand what some for the stats in the file really mean. What I am
looking for is total queries and then a breakdown of total queries for each
zone. Under Incoming Requests it has QUERY's among some other stats. Is
this the total queries across all zones? If it is, it doesn't seem to add
up to what the total of each zone added together in the per zone stats. Can
someone please educate me on this and let me know if I am just reading the
file incorrectly? There doesn't seem to be any documentation on the stats
file itself.

Regards,
Max

DNS flag day is when vendors of recursive name servers will stop releasing
new software that coddles ancient or broken authoritative servers and
firewalls. Instead of trying over and over in different ways to coax some
broken remote system to send back an answer, new resolver software will
just declare the remote server to be broken, and give up.

Nothing will stop working suddenly on February 1. However, the next time
you upgrade your recursive name server to the latest version, you *might*
have problems then.  My guess is that you won't, but I can't guarantee it.

If you do have some legacy server running internally that can't be fixed to
support EDNS properly, you can still configure your resolvers not to use
EDNS when talking to that specific server. That option will still be
available after flag day.

An easy way to check would be to install the latest BIND development
release (version 9.13.5) and see if it works. It already has all the flag
day changes in it.

DNS Flag Day may cause any problem in private DNS servers ?

2019-01-24 Thread Roberto Carna
Dear, I've just worked around on my public BIND DNS's in order to solve the
problem of DNS Flag Day.

But I have a pair of private DNS (BIND and Windows) that respond to
internal queries and also forward non authoritative queries to my public
DNS'smay my private DNS's become unstables after DNS Flag Day if I
don't any workaround on them ?

Thanks a lot,

Robert

I thought of that too :-) A week would be far enough in my case.


Be careful of what you mean by "a week".  If a problem happens on a 
Friday just after you leave for a week's holiday/vacation then you need 
a 10-day timeout to be able to fix it on the Monday you come back.
