You're correct - named-checkconf doesn't see the problem, but named

 Damn, DNSMadeEasy needs to have notify notices sent to a different IP

 Another question then, if zone 'example.net' has the NS records of
 'ns1.example.net' (its IP address is 101.1.1.1) and 'ns2.example.net'
 (its IP address is 101.1.2.1), then if I put the 'also-notify {
 22.22.22.222; 22.22.22.223; 22.22.22.224; };' in the zone clause, when
 the zone file is modified, notify messages will be sen to 101.1.1.1,
 101.1.2.1, 2.22.22.222, 22.22.22.223, and 22.22.22.224 right?

Yes (except for the master listed in the SOA record), and unless you
have 'notify explicit;' set.

ho to filter hundeds of domains ?

2012-08-30 Thread fddi

Hello,
I need to implement a bind filter for many hundreds of domains which are 
considered outlaw and illegal

by italian government about gamble games.

If I create a named zone for each illegal domain and configure my 
nameserver as authoritative
for those zones, I can catch the DNS resolutions and I can resolve with 
a local LAN IP with a message for users.

But it is really complicate to manage such a high number of domains.

Is there another way I could achieve this ?

thank you

Rick

Don't waste your time.

This approach is superficial.  It doesn't actually prevent access to the
target sites, and is likely to be a nuisance for intending users of 
legitimate services (web sites or others) which fall in the shadow of
the intervention you suggest.

Besides, if you take this approach, you will have to commit resources to
chasing a moving target.

Best regards,

Niall O'Reilly

Spamhaus describes it this way:

The DBL is managed as a zero false-positive list, safe to use by 
production mail systems to reject emails that are flagged by it. The DBL 
includes URIs (domains/hostnames) which are used in spam including 
phishing, fraud/'419' or domains sending or hosting malware/viruses. 

Sounds like what I would want in an RPZ, but may not include the gambling 
sites the OP was looking to block.

Is the mandatory setup to actually use 'DNS' to block access to gambling
sites? Its easy enough to script an automatic update if someone central
and with the necessary authority decides what it not allowed (eg a
governmental man). Could even stick the 'bad' names in DNS to do the
distribution.

Suggestion: Don't listen to Niall O'Reilly - although he may be right.

Note to self, run own recursive DNS resolver on my laptop whilst

In my previous job, the cyber-security created a list of domains
from various sources.  They tested the file on a test BIND server
before loading the file into the AFS shared file system.  I had a cron
on my DNS servers that ran every 10 minutes that checked for a new file,
and if it saw one, it copied the file to the local disk and ran rndc
to reload the new config file.

 Often it is not you who have to decide what to do, but you
 receive orders.

People who don't fully understand an issue really do not have any 
business managing it. This is a basic law of nature.

 It is never a good thing to mock people.

People who have made bad decisions based on ignorance of the subject 
matter certainly do deserve criticism for what they have done, no? I 
think they do. The emperor is wearing no clothes!

Sometimes, humor is a good way to get the point across.

The proper thing to do, if in a position of authority, is to educate 
oneself on the matter at hand, and if unable for some reason, to pass 
authority to someone who DOES understand it.

DNS is not simple, but I bet I could spend a day or so with some non- 
technical person of reasonable intelligence and get him/her up to 
speed as to why ideas like this are bad.

No, it's not practical for every ignorant politician to hire a DNS- 
capable geek to help learn the basics, but lack of practicality does 
not make wrong any less wrong.

If you are using ISC DHCP, I would stronglu recommend the dhcp-users

information would be useful, for instance what OS you are using.

The message is *presumably* because your OS is low on some resource.

Add domains you want blocked to the locallyblockeddomains.zones file.
The null or unspecified address -- 0.0.0.0 in IPv4, :: in IPv6 -- 
is generally considered the more polite and proper way to express 
don't ever try to connect to this.


If you put a loopback address in there, a poorly-coded app might end up 
spinning, connecting to itself. But the unspecified address gets stopped 
cold at the OS level so it's the preferred choice.

   They're wrong politically (censorship) and they're wrong technically

   Copying telephone companies is not a good idea for the Internet :-)

  Still, that kind of setup is *mandatory* for ISPs in Italy :-\
 
 Is the mandatory setup to actually use 'DNS' to block access to gambling
 sites? Its easy enough to script an automatic update if someone central
 and with the necessary authority decides what it not allowed (eg a
 governmental man). Could even stick the 'bad' names in DNS to do the
 distribution.
 
 Suggestion: Don't listen to Niall O'Reilly - although he may be right.

 Note to self, run own recursive DNS resolver on my laptop whilst
 travelling in Italy.
 
 8.8.8.8 ?

Which is exactly why the DNS is the wrong level to do this at if
you have a legal obligation to block access.  The only way to do
that is to block the packets themselves.  Given these are gambling
sites the chance of collateral damage is minimal if you just block
all access to the ips in question.   Just make sure you can get
through to their nameservers so you can keep the list of IP addresses
to filter current.
