Re: Inline-signing feature request: Directly set the signed zone's serial number

Our provisioning system used to think it owned zone serial numbers, but
when we started signing we moved the version tag into an HINFO record.


In case anyone wonders why HINFO?, this was because

1. No-one wants to use HINFO at a zone apex for any other reason.
2. As a very ancient type, even early Windows DNS Server implementations
  didn't object to it when slaving the zones.
3. One can put arbitrary text strings in it.

... but also for the much less reputable

4. As a low numbered type, it got sorted immediately after the apex
  SOA and NS records in a zone file normalised by named-checkzone -D.

Well, it served me right when we later had to put an A record (sorts before
HINFO) at the apex of cam.ac.uk and I had to modify our normalised-zone-file-
comparsion program to allow for that!

RE: Inline-signing feature request: Directly set the signed zone's serial number

2014-10-17 Thread Darcy Kevin (FCA)
FYI,
If you had to do this all over again, and your tools are flexible 
enough to handle arbitrary RRTYPEs, you might consider using a private RRTYPE 
(in the 65280-65534 range). See 
http://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters/dns-parameters.xhtml#dns-parameters-4
 and/or http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6895.

Repurposing HINFO for something other than expressing host-related info, is 
just downright confusing/surprising. Principle of Least Astonishment.

Large RPZ with a lot of views.

2014-10-17 Thread Matt Doughty
Hi,
I have a configuration with a lot of views and I want all of them to use
the same RPZ zone with is 100K+ entries. It takes far too long to load all
the views when I include the RPZ zone in each view as a master zone.  I
have tried:

1. setting up the zone at the top level, but you can't do that with views.
2. setting the zone up in one view, and then using in-view for the others,
but it complains that the zone isn't a type slave or master.

So, is there a sane way to get a policy zone associated with multiple views?
