 attempts at validation - retrieving ds records, dnskey records, 
 etc].

I tested this with a query of dnssec-failed.org/IN/SOA, and indeed, 
validation is done and (of course) fails.  named-checkconf -p shows:

dnssec-enable no;
dnssec-lookaside auto;
dnssec-validation auto;

 am i misinterpreting the documentation?

Reading on through:


dnssec-validation

Enable DNSSEC validation in named. Note dnssec-enable also
needs to be set to yes to be effective. ...


This does not seem to be the case.  I think bug, whether it's the 
documentation or the behavior.

 misinterpreting the apparent behavior?  something else?

behavior of dnssec-enable in relation to dnssec-validation

2015-03-24 Thread btb
hi-

in the arm, it says dnssec-enable: Enable DNSSEC support in named. Unless set 
to yes, named behaves as if it does not support DNSSEC..  behaves as if it 
does not support DNSSEC seemed quite unequivocal to me, so i interpreted this 
to mean that if dnssec-enable no; is set, no dnssec operations/behavior of any 
kind would be seen, period, regardless of what other settings might be set.  
however, it seems that if dnssec-validation auto; is set [i didn't try 
dnssec-validation yes;], bind does perform dnssec related operations even 
though dnssec-enable no; is set [from looking briefly at logs with rndc trace 
1, i see what appear to be attempts at validation - retrieving ds records, 
dnskey records, etc].

am i misinterpreting the documentation?  misinterpreting the apparent behavior? 
 something else?

thanks
