Dont flatter yourself troll, I've always been active on a number of
lists, but as I do have a life, I may not comment on every single thread
on every list. 

Like I told you before stop being a f'wit and i'll have no reason to
warn anyone of how caustic you will get towards them, and we'll also
have no reason to list your netblock on RBL 

no need to reply, just let it sink in, but since its failed to in over 5
years, i dont expect miracles.

Many SP's still do this, some take it the extra mile and block anything
with things like  cpe/dsl/cable/hfc/dyn/ppp... etc 
in the hostname, we still do it, have done for over 20 years and seen no
collateral damage.

Ordinarily, I agree, but the overall security and protection of the
network must come first, the protection of teh majority must come first.
 Then there's the law, in Australia we are required as part of the
outcome of the iinet V hollywood, to block pirate sites, 99% do this by
DNS, the Federal court accepts this method, the Federal court knows it
can be avoided by most 8yos in under 10 seconds, its the sweet spot
everybody agreed to so they approved it. 

There are also other laws that require its use as well.  That said we
dont block any ports and have no intention of. 

That said, DoH is fairly pointless here because there is no requirement
to log DNS queries, most of us have far better things to do than to know
who's going where, none that I know do it, though there is a question of
Telstra mobile 

lets face it, if we really want to know whos going where, netflow tells
us a whole lot more anyway

Re: Change source IP at outgoing packet send by Bind9 as forwarder.

2019-10-17 Thread Noel Butler
OK, it might be too early and i'm not getting your question, I'm only
half way through my first coffee of the day... 

But if you have 192.168.0.1 as  lan, and the wan, lets say is 1.1.1.1,
and needs to resolve a hostname, it has to go to the big wide world of
internets, and it can only do that using 1.1.1.1, therefor thats the
only way it will work, your internal LAN IP is not asking the root
serves or subsequent in chain, your WAN IP is, because routing, pvt
address space etc, you know...

This can have disastrous affects if this is for a public network given
shared hosting. 

An Australian govt dept (ASIC) ordered a s313 block on an IP couple
years back, turns out that IP supplied about 2K hosts, 99.9% all of
which were very legitimate, including many aussie businesses. 

And I still dont know whats worse, the clueless idiots in ASIC (who
thankfully have now due to that incident lost most that power), or the
clueless idiots in the ISP's networking who blindly accepted and enacted
the block. 

To put it in RFC terms for non aussies, s313 is a SHOULD, and  _not_ a
MUST. 
If theres genuine reason, ie mass collateral damage, you can lawfully
refuse to carry out such requests.

Obviously your machine *is* setup for IPv6,  it's just not configured,
named sees the capability, so tries it. 

I bet ifconfig shows it,   below is an example from this pc which does
not use IPv6... 

lo:
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10 

probably eth0 does as well 

eth0: 
  inet6 fe80::e2cb:4eff:feda:9842 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20 

You might also want to read up on  gai.conf  and set some precedence's,
I dont use it, but on slackware I dont have the problems you have, it
might help - I recall having to use it well over 10 years ago on a few
centos servers we inherited at the time.

Your post is to the point and appropriate, lots of members of this list
may be in this situation and ignore it because they have NFI on what to

Though personally I have done a few times what John Blue suggested,

You're going about this all wrong. 

dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net will not have an A record, its not how dnsbl's
normally work. 

You placing them in an ACL makes no difference, SORBS is the one who
controls access to their resources, its SORBS server not answering you,
there is nothing you can do about it, though you shouldnt be querying a
particular SORBS NS, just the name itself. you should have no entries
anywhere for SORBS except in your SMTP/WWW_Module configs, like, for
example in postfix: 

reject_rbl_client dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net 

I wont go into the fact bind 9.8 is so old its unsupported :)

The only blacklists you should trust are your own, each network is
different, our gear in Australia fights off completely different
miscreants than our stuff in L.A does which again differs from our stuff
in Frankfurt, they rarely see the same miscreants. 

My background is ISP and web hosting, that hosting also included game
servers so we saw a few DDoS against them, but nothing we couldn't
handle. If you are a direct target for such activity you need to consult
someone who knows what they are doing if your bandwith cant cope, if
you're not a constant target, stop being so bloody paranoid :) 

I assume your in the private corporate world, so the best thing is
appropriate ACL's on your border router(s), allowing only the sort of
traffic you want for server group X of http(s) ports to web servers,
only p 53 to your DNS servers, layer7 policies are a bit overkill in my
opinion, so just use ports, if you do need such, then you need to
consult a network specialist, the bind users group is hardly the place,
but there is a person on this list who specialise in anti DoS and he
might pop his head up. 

In general iptables works a treat for X queries in X time, also fail2ban
works wonders to block those that persist if your servers are *nix
based, dont have a single M$ product so no idea what you should use on
them. 

and use modern version of bind and RRL.

 Hi folks,
 
 I've read about RRL with interest since its inception, but just now
 getting around to rolling it out. That is partially because we run a very
 small authoritative infrastructure serving mostly as Akamai EDNS origins.
 However, since it is exposed externally, used by a few tenants and RRL has
 been running in the wild for awhile now...we decided to finally hop on the
 bandwagon as part of our latest round of DNS infrastructure upgrades.
 
 We are experimenting in log-only mode, and wanted to get feedback on
 settings which work well for others in production. So far we have the
 following which appears to work well (not limiting typical clients during
 normal operation):
 
 rate-limit {
 log-only yes;
 ipv4-prefix-length 32;
 window 10;
 responses-per-second 20;
 nxdomains-per-second 10;
 exempt-clients {
 [...]
 };
 
 };
 
 However, as we've mostly just been turning knobs in an attempt to minimize
 log entries... insight from operators is appreciated.

Looks good, its pretty close to what I use, however one thing to
consider (maybe you have) is the ipv6 prefix, its default from memory is
56, in Australia, the typical assignments for those few ISP's issuing
IPv6, is /64, so I set ipv6-prefix-length 64, but depends on
geographic's I suppose, maybe if your traffic is mostly U.S. and if the
average U.S. ISP dishes out /56's, it doesn't matter much to change it.

True it is good and proper netiquette to trim posts, but its also good
netiquette to quote inline and only whats required ala trimming posts,
and SFA people bother with that (funny that though since they are the

But when you choose digest , those rules hardly apply since you get all

 Message-ID: 5520f324.7050...@btinternet.com
 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed
 
 Dear All
 
 The good news is that I have my server running. The not so good news is 
 that there are a few problems which could be interconnected.
 
 My server is called server1.sportshost.co.uk and its ip address is 
 84.92.56.54.
 
 Going on to whatsmydns.net I find that sportshost.co.uk returns suitable 
 entries under the NS and SOA section. There are nothing but red crosses 
 under A records section - I was expecting my ip address.
 
 Then when I dig a domain name like google.co.uk I get suitable replies 
 but when I dig an ip address like 8.8.8.8 the request gets the reply 
 REFUSED.
 
 Further enquiries show that I dont have an open recursive site when the 
 errors above still apply.
 
 When I change my /etc/bind/named.conf.local file from 'recursion no;' to 
 'recursion yes;' I get an inverse of the above. I get full replies from 
 all my dig enquiries but I get an open recursive warning - which I 
 obviously dont want.
 
 whatsmydns.net replies remain the same.
 
 So todays question is - what do I need to do to keep my server closed, 
 get proper dig replies and get my A records showing up on whatsmydns.net?
 
 Or is everything working well and its not necessary to have dig 
 providing proper replies?
 
 Thanks
 
 Stephen Eyre

Re: bind-users Digest, Vol 2083, Issue 1

2015-04-05 Thread Noel Butler
 

you need an allow-query and ACL, eg: 

Assuming for example your LAN ip range is 192.168.0.0/24, then you would
use 

for simplicity, at top of named.conf: 

acl trust { localhost; 192.168.0.0/24; }; 

then in... 

options { 

  

allow-query { trust; };
 allow-query-cache { trust; }; 

 

}; 

That should do it, if you need further assistance you'll need to supply
a copy of named.conf - in particular the options , ACL's and at least
one of your zones, but if your named.conf isnt 5 miles long, just past
the whole thing.

Apart from stupid SOA values, losscontrol360.com seems OK, and from your 
two examples here even proves that, if your customers don't see what 
your cache server does, they cant be using the same cache server as you

Re: slave zone files unreadable

The real problem is humans.  They like to tinker with files (hence
the subject line).  There really shouldn't be a reason for anyone
to need to read slave database files.  They are there so named can
have the zone content when it starts up rather than having to
re-transfer the content at startup.  If you need the contents of the
zone axfr them from the server.  That way you actually get up to
date content not 15 minute old content.

If we could get people away from wanting to use a editor on master
files directly we would.  The practice is highly error prone even
for experts.



Most management systems in hosting comps typically open file  blah EOF 
and stuff, so maybe 99.% of the internet :D   (of course 
these, and those of us who know how to write them by hand have no 
trouble - because we all learnt the hard way at some time)



Also, I may be having a blonde moment (got a nasty case of te flu at 
present) but whatever happened to the once discussed advantages of 
having bind load zone files in the same way Apache httpd does using 
(Include/IncludeOptional sompath_under_directory/* ), if the zone is 
there it loads it, if not, it doesnt/ignores it - not just bail out 
completely, that removes the dangers of a corrupted named.conf with tens 
of thousands of zones. Testing showed with 11.5K hosts, the load time 
was only 3 or so seconds longer IIRC (maybe less), not bad for peace of 
mind ('n yes I know in DNS 3 seconds is a long time, but WTF takes pri 
and sec's offline at same time (ok I guess the clowns who run them both 
on hte same cheap over subscribed VPS but thats another rant for another

Yes, at a guess I'd day every single request to the caching server was 
logging, daemon log which rarely sees more than 200k a week, grew to 
210mb in 24 hours :)



Maybe you can change the setting in

that didnt seem to do anything, I'm going to revert that server back to

Hi, 

U, since upgrade 9.9.5 to 9.10 every request to the name server is
spewing copious amounts of debug type data (thankfully I only upgraded
the one server) 

 named[23250]: received packet from 207.66.8.132#53 (no opt): ;;

WTF ?

 Hi Guys, 
 
 In bind 9.9.4, Reponse-Rate Limit doesn't work until you configure bind with 
 “—ENABLE-RRL” option. 
 
 I was wondering why is it so ?

Because it can be detrimental to existing sites if configured wrongly,
its something not all sites would need, greater than 50% of resolvers
are caching, not authoritative, therefore currently it's an extra
option, it's also new, in 5 years time maybe it will be a default, but
to do so now would be wrong. ___

 10 years ago rbldnsd was the right choice for a DNSBL.  Today rbldnsd
 is an egregious mistake engrained the uninformed and unexamined
 preconceptions and prejudices of DNSBL users.  The hand wringing about
 IPv6 spam ending the usefulness of DNSBLs and the proposals to put
 B-trees into the DNS wire protocol make only if you assume that rsync
 is the only way to distribute DNSBL data and that wildcards cannot be
 used in DNSBLs because rbldnsd didn't like them and that rsync is the
 only way to distribute DNSBL data.
 
 


-rbldnsd blocks ipv6 spammers just as good as ipv4 spammers (I'm
assuming thats part of your whinge?)
-combined zones use *exponentially* less resources than bind is alone
makes it worth it
-as for normal resources,  a rbldnsd zone is 106K lines, in bind is 2M
lines, because of its CIDR handling which is messy, and especially in
tset zones
-there is more to DNSBL's than just transfers of zones

you clearly have a bias set-in-concrete mindset about rbldnsd, maybe you
and its author hate each others guts, I dunno, dont care,  our decision
is based on real world live usages, tests, and experiences, for over ten
years of using rbldnsd and twenty with bind, so Vernon I suggest the
only person here who is hand wringing as you put it, is yourself,
whatever your problem is, get over it.

   That sounds unrelated to RRL.  Again, RRL affects standards compliant
   DNS clients no more than a 50% packet loss rate on the path from the
   DNS client and to the server.  If your mail system suffered hostname
   lookup failures, then I think something else was broken.
 
 With a 50% packet loss and 3 retries you'll have about 1 in 16 lookups
 fail, right? If you've got enough legitimate lookups going on to
 trigger RRL then you're going to get lots of failures.
 
 One workaround for this is to set SLIP to 1. I know Vernon recommends
 against that, but personally I don't think there is any downside.
  

Might give that a go, thanks for suggestion

  Nope, either way, daemon.log was filling up with messages indicating
  RRL, last time I tried, Aug 29,
  
  lots of  
  limit NXDOMAIN responses to /24 for zen.spamhaus.org , 
  limit NXDOMAIN responses to xx/24 for xxx.net 
  
  pretty much one for every DNSBL, URIBL etc used 
 
 This doesn't indicate that anything actually failing for the querying
 hosts, just that they are issuing a lot of queries.
 

maybe not directly, but along with time corresponding maillog filling up
with errors certainly is all the proof I need.

  The problem occurred within a minute of enabling RRL, and ended right
  after disabling RRL.
  on that date, log files show the version was actually BIND 9.9.4rc1
  
  Now I've read your link, I can perhaps understand more the options and
  fine tune it, but bout to head out for lunch so, might pla around later
  this afternoon.
 
 I think the actual issue is that for DNS IP blacklists (or whitelists)
 RRL is probably harmful. Many or even most queries to those servers
 will result in the same NXDOMAIN response. This is expected and desired
 behavior, but RRL interprets this as potential abuse.
 
 While the fallback to TCP (combined with my recommendation of SLIP 1
 above) will mean that service will continue without problem, one reason
 that DNS was chosen for such services is that it is very lightweight,
 and forcing traffic to TCP is an anti-goal. :)
 
 Probably you should disable RRL for servers that are primarily used for
 IP-based blacklists (or whitelists).
 

Will try with views and SLIP 1, likely tomorrow now since its rather
late here, will post a followup with results

Cheers

 A mail server should be talking to a caching resolver, not an
 authoritative DNS server; RRL is for authoritaive servers. So the
 situation shouldn't ordinarily arise.
 


Yes true, but in some cases, some servers are both, using views, try
tell a small business with 3 staff and only a combined mail/web, plus
one DNS (I act as secondary so that saves them a bit) that they need to
install another server, dedicated to caching if they insist of having
this feature enabled :) - this resembles countless small business and
SOHO setups, so it would be advantageous in future releases if it can
not currently, be configured using views.

 BIND RRL has had whitelisting for trusted DNS clients that send repeated

Thanks for the pointers, I see what I need to do now.


 RRL is not recommend for recursive DNS servers, because in theory
 it could squelch repeated requests from legitimate DNS clients
 without caches such as some SMTP servers.
 


As per my previous to Evan, dealing with views, I'm on redbarn reading
now, I never ran it as patches, my policy is only use official upstream
sources, so my first play around was with 9.9.3.b2 I think it was.


 However, I do not recall reports of significant real, as opposed to
 anticipated or minor problems with RRL on recursive DNS servers.  The
 worst that should happen is that legitimate clients will be slowed,
 such as SMTP servers (mail receivers) receiving spews of spam or SMTP
 clients (mail senders) spewing spam or without required DNSBL whitelisting.
 A legitimate DNS client that is squelched by RRL will time-out every
 other repeated request and (with the default SLIP=2) retry with TCP.
 
 What problems did you see with your mail system and your recursive DNS
 server with RRL?
 


plenty of delayed mail -  hostname lookup failures (mostly because of
URI/DNS BL's), so it certainly works as intended :)
I will play around with views here over next day or so, from previous
plays, it did not take long to see the undesired results, so if its all
good I'll commit it to the serves I look after
(I did not see any issues on ns1/2, only ns0 which is split views,
authoritative and cache)

 BIND 9.9.4 and its immediately preceding beta and release
 candidate releases are the first versions of BIND that were not
 patched.  Some third parties including FreeBSD and a Linux
 distributor added RRL patches to their versions, but those BIND+RRL
 versions differed from any other version of BIND+RRL patch only by
 someone else having applied the patch.
 


yeah, as I said, I thought it was that beta, I dont use distros versions

 What does your /etc/resolv.conf look like? This looks like it might be 
 an ndots issue, causing host (and other applications that use the 
 default search option) to try adding the default domain to names that it 
 shouldn't.
 

domain and 2x nameservers , nothing special is defined

From memory this bug was confirmed and fixed, but, if my summary proves
correct, was back in ... March 2007

ndots appears to be where the bug is, since nothing is defined, it
should 1, so it should have seen, in our example, www.undernet.org, as
www.undernet.org and nothing more, and returned REFUSED, not carried on.

  The default value is that defined using the ndots statement
in /etc/resolv.conf,
   or 1 if no ndots statement is present. Names with fewer dots are
interpreted as relative
   names and will be searched for in the domains listed in the
search or domain directive in
   /etc/resolv.conf. 


proving the point...

Re: ipv4, ipV6 DNS BIND configuration and deployment

2013-08-04 Thread Noel Butler
On Sun, 2013-08-04 at 13:28 -0700, Eduardo Bonsi wrote:

 Hello Everyone,
 
 I have some questions about ipV6 transition and DNS configuration!
 
 I am preparing to make my transition to a dual stack ipv4, ipv6 and I 
 have some concerns in regards to the security of the network since ipv6 
 do not have NAT. My ISP gave me a Global 
 2602:000:000:000:000:000:000:000/64 Range and I can just turn on ipV6 on 
 the router and set the network to automatic on the computer and I am 
 connected through what they call a SLAAC ipV6 automatic conf network, 
 that runs using the machine MAC address in which I am not very happy to 
 adopt. I well know there is a way to mask the MAC address to random 
 addresses as a security measure but I am still not happy about it. 
 Beside, there are all the BIND DNS configuration that needs to be routed 
 or I am stack with a slow broke SLAAC connection that it works, but not 
 to the level of the a DNS Server that I want to achieve. Therefore, as a 
 network design after analyzing my options, I have decided to use the 
 static ipv4, ipV6 deployment approach that uses my ipV6 with the 3 last 
 bit of the ipv4 NAT addresses already in place. This static option does 
 not expose the machine MAC addresses. However the addresses are directed 
 connected through ipV6 bypassing the NAT environment. On BIND, the only 
 change I have in the named.conf file is the,
 
 listen-on-v6 { any; };
 


listen-on-v6  ::1 and your dns server ipv6 address


 Therefore, here are my questions:
 
 1. I am open to ideas or anything you think is best choosing the best 
 internal network design for ipV6.
 


Static IP assignments on your LAN, as far as your ISP is concerned they
will just route your /64 via your routers IP. sure you can do auto
assignments, but I think if they are servers its best to do static.


 2. Since this static ipV6 deployment lacks the non-rotatable NAT 
 environment, what are the security measures to take on BIND in regards 
 to the recursive issues on ipV6?
 


with ipv6, no more do you have security by accident (NAT)  if you have
a /64 your router will route for all, forget all the bad habits of the
lazy ipv4 days, now you need to configure access lists on your router,
but also play it safe and configure firewalls on each machine,
especially if they are winblows boxes



 3. Are there any other security issues that should I considerate?
 


Don't be over aggressive with filtering, you do not mention the OS, but
if its linux -

ip6tables -P INPUT DROP
ip6tables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
ip6tables -P FORWARD DROP

ip6tables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
ip6tables -A INPUT -s fe80::/10 -j ACCEPT 
ip6tables -A INPUT -d ff00::/8 -j ACCEPT
ip6tables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -m state --state INVALID,NEW
-j LOG
ip6tables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

... insert ACCEPT's for your lan and whatever other ipv6 addresses you
need with full access here...

ip6tables -A INPUT -p udp -d you:ipv6:dns:server:address --dport 25 -j
ACCEPT
ip6tables -A INPUT -p tcp -d you:ipv6:dns:server:address --dport 25 -j
ACCEPT


and.. importantly..
ip6tables -A INPUT -p icmpv6 --icmpv6-type 1 -j ACCEPT# Destination
unreachable
ip6tables -A INPUT -p icmpv6 --icmpv6-type 2 -j ACCEPT# Packet too
big
ip6tables -A INPUT -p icmpv6 --icmpv6-type 3 -j ACCEPT# Time
exceeded
ip6tables -A INPUT -p icmpv6 --icmpv6-type 4 -j ACCEPT# Parameter
problem
ip6tables -A INPUT -s your:gateway:ip -p icmpv6 --icmpv6-type 135 -j
ACCEPT
ip6tables -A INPUT -s your:gateway:ip -p icmpv6 --icmpv6-type 136 -j
ACCEPT

You *will* need the above accepts regardless since your default policy
is DROP, if not, you may find ipv6 reachable problems, in fact, you may
not even be able to connect outbound without types 135/136 (neighbour
discovery)

 I'd argue the settings are already correct. Having the mailing

 of a message.
 



I argue different, If I post on a list, I want anyone replying to my

on list, ie, if you post on list like now, you replies should go on
list, unless you (or I) specifically ask for off-list replies. 

If I want direct, I'll be bad and scrape the list and mail you all
direct :)

POC: This email address is for lists only, it is not my personal
address, anything not put in its appropriate mailing list folder is
placed in   z_lists direct  not my inbox, now I am a member of some 37
mailing lists, of which 26 are active non-new/announce types, so the
z_lists direct folder named deliberately to sit at the bottom may not be
noticed, and frankly I don't always bother checking it for days, given
99% of the posts in it ends up being spam that gets passed our anti-spam
rules - years of lists web archiving see's to that.

to cover the domain and its sub domains you need to enter it twice, once

using your example  it would then be:

 If a name exists in the response policy, and also exists in the real Internet

 or whatever) is returned instead.
 
 I've known this for a while but haven't understood why it is thus. Today, it 
 has become a problem for me. If I set a policy of this name gets response 
 X, I expect that policy to be used rather than this name gets response X

Perhaps because it is a  response zone, not an actual  authoritative

 SPF RR type



Had a bit of a read of that thread, and the most noise comes from a guy
who should know better, but doesn't, Mr Kitterman repeatedly says  If
it's all so obvious that it makes sense to publish SPF records, why
aren't more people doing it? 

The answer is simple, and he knows it, very few system admins know or
care about which specific RFC covers what, they hear things, it gains
momentum, like googling for anti spam, stop spoofing, stuff like that,
Ohhh they say, 'nice, I'll check that out' they load googlecreate
an SPF record
Now google shows me as of 60 seconds ago,  first five entries using only
TXT RR's as examples
(at lucky number 6 it shows me someone saying to use SPF RR)   So, new
-to-spf adminy type, fires up vi, pico, whatever... adds it, it works!
yay they say, they spread the word,  adminy2 says nice how did you do
it adminy1 shows adminy2 copies, and its just like life, the cycle
repeats over and over and...


Secondly, Mr Kitterman, as a debian packager, would be highly aware of
how many deprecated versions of debian are out there running resolvers
that do not understand SPF and have not been supported by any upstream
in ten years, and, I'm sure that is also probably true of early RHEL's
as well.


Back in the dark ages, I learned about SPF from word-of-mouth too, like
most here I'm sure, and if WOM shows you one way, thats the way you do
it, lets face it, you discover a new method, you dont go rushing to rfc
website to read all about it, I have only been doing SPF RR's since
hrmm, maybe 4 years back? not sure, too long ago, but have used TXT
since, it started to get bandied around the sendmail newsgroup some
ancient time ago.

I found out about the existence of SPF RR type, from this very list,
how many subscribers to this list? 1500 odd, how many sys admins world
wide? hundred thousand plus maybe, how many are even aware of the SPF
RR? probably not that many, I recently discovered that a 'drinks
session' out of 9 sys admins, myself and ONE other were even aware of
the SRV RR type. Not all corporations/SP's/ASP's or ISP's,  have
dedicated DNS admins who can concentrate full time on all things DNS,
I'm not a full time DNS admin, since it works nicely and doesnt occupy
all my time :)

Many of the domain parking organisations are just as guilty, even up
until two years ago, I used zoneedit for my personal DNS, and they did
not have an option for SPF, I hounded them for a couple of months before
they eventually replied saying, no intentions, so how many others also
did not offer it.

So, there are a myriad of reasons as to why the SPF RR type 99 never
took of

20741,  so direct SPF RR hits is about one third of those using TXT RR,
small, but, insignificant? I wouldn't really say so, but some might.  I
suspect the SPF wanting to be deprecated is because of the lack of
take-up, due to lazy admins, there are some resolvers in use from
ancient debian boxes that are so old, they dont understand the SPF RR,
yes I know, they have bigger problems than that, but, again, comes down
to laziness, DNS is not rocket science, I'm sure given ARM and access to
google, a 13yo kid could get at least the basics right.

Ensure your SPF records are kept up to date, and yes this is why, you'll

I see no problem with your SPF IP records though so long as you dont try
use ns1. Ignoring most of Vernons anti SPF rhetoric, which  BTW this

correct that you shouldn't really be using PTR, or A for that mater,
just have your ip4: and ip6: ranges, and perhaps mx and along with
-all  you'll be fine, I have no problems with SPF and lists and have
been using it since very early days, I note though your DKIM fails which
is typical of mailing lists.

One thing I need to point out, your SOA timings seem extreme...

refresh 86400  drop that to 3h
retry 3600, drop to 900 
expire 604800 change that to 4w
and negative cache value 86400 gulp drop that to no more than 3600,
maybe even just use 600.

 Instead of swallowing the SPF liturgy without chewing, use it and
 what anyone (including me) says as ideas for your own observations
 and tests.  Follow the DMARC instructions on http://www.dmarc.org/
 and get the DMARC reports telling you that your SPF -all prevents
 the delivery of some of your mail to this mailing list.
 
 Then get Gmail and Hotmail mailboxes, configure Hotmail to forward
 to Gmail and send to Hotmail.  You will see in your DMARC reports
 from Google that your SPF -all causes your message to disappear in
 a blackhole between Gmail and Hotmail.
 
 See also http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/Forwarding and note that neither
 Hotmail forwarding to Gmail nor many mailing lists including this
 list rewrite the sender addresses.  That has generally been considered
 a wrong thing to do since long before pobox.com existed.
 
 Finally, look at the SPF records for AOL, Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft,
 and ask yourself whether those organizations don't care about SMTP
 forgery or don't believe SPF is an answer.  If they believed, wouldn't
 they use SPF -all?
 
  I have no problems with SPF and lists and have
  been using it since very early days,
 
 Maybe it was easier to ignore reality before DMARC.  On the other
 hand, http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/Forwarding is unambigous about
 the interaction of -all with mailing lists such as this.

 the others.
 
 For traditional DNS blacklisting (one zone per blacklisted name/suffix) 
 sure, but I'm honestly not sure why anyone would start out down that 
 road today with RPZ available.

response times would be a good reason
an RPZ zone still goes through the motions

forged (local empty) zone:
dig  .xxxtoolbar.com
snip
;; Query time: 0 msec

(all local zones hte same , 0 msec)

RPZ:
dig bobi.at
;; Query time: 996 msec

(avg response time it seems for RPZ'd zones)

So it sure as hell doesnt work the same as a forged empty zones

RPZ is awesome if you want to wallgarden a hostname, but for just speedy
dropping, empty zone beats it hands down even if it is messier requiring
its own zone.

Thats dangerous   14m1337.u.suck.hax0r.org  -yeah, it would be
highly abused and why most ISP's don't do/allow it :)
But for a small company that has trustworthy staff, maybe, but then mail
servers will start rejecting some of them trying to send directly
because theres likely no matching A record.

A lot are not on that list , I use cheap-domainregistration, which
on-registers via wildwest domains, and they certainly support DS

Why did you bother with the record at all? 
Question mark  indicates you don't care and the remote should
bascially ignore it. 
Waste of time, please do some homework before making such foolish

 BIND Community Support,
 
 I am inquiring about how to setup a proper SPF record? I know there are 
 SPF wizards/generators available but each seem to have a different 
 opinion of what should be included and what should not be included.
 
 Let me give you a scenario of my setup, and hopefully someone can help 
 me out.
 
 My domain is: test.com
 My mailserver hostname is: mail.host.com which also has a MATCHING PTR 
 record
 mail.host.com (for example) resolves to 50.1.1.1 and 50.1.1.1 resolves 
 to mail.host.com
 
 This is a STANDALONE mail server without any VIP's or load balancing. 
 There is however one additional host that will send out mail from the 
 domain but it wont be receiving mail, it will only be used as an SMTP 
 server attached to a website automailer... It only generates error 
 reports and sends them out... so technically it isn't a full mail server 
 but it will be sending (outbound only) mail on behalf of the domain.
 
 The additional host is: mail2.test.com which resolves to 50.2.2.2 and 
 there is a Matching PTR.
 
 These are the ONLY mail servers and IP addresses that will be sending 
 out mail from the test.com domain. Some websites say I should use -all 
 and others say -all will cause some MTA's to reject and ~all is better 
 to use even if those are the only two hosts sending out mail.
 
 Would you be able to assist with a solid SPF record?



SPFv=spf1 ip4:50.1.1.1 ip4:50.2.2.2 -all
TXT v=spf1 ip4:50.1.1.1 ip4:50.2.2.2 -all -- This is to
support antiquated resolvers who dont understand  SPF  record


-all will reject if the mail is not from one of the above, this is
entire purpose of SPF, to stop dead impersonators.
~all is a softfail, intended for the initial testing phase, so you can
use ~all if you are widening your scope, but if only those two above
IP's will send mail for your domain, just use -all  and make sure all of
your users configured smtp auth to send by either of those two machines.

 If someone uses a mobile device to send e-mail? Would ~all be better? I 


Teach them to use smtp authentication using submission (port 587 stuff)
and it doesn't matter where they come from, so long as your MTA is

 also generated the following SPF using a wizard. Let me know if this 
 looks correct:
 
 teamwarfare.com. IN TXT v=spf1 a mx a:mail.teamwarfare.com 
 a:mail2.teamwarfare.com ip4:66.90.73.80 ip4:216.250.250.148 ~all
 


kinda overkill, you are twice declaring the same machines  AND saying
any host with an A record in teamwarfare.com (risky)
just use the IP's, and if those machines have ipv6 interfaces, add them
too,   eg   ip6:2a00:1c18:401:c00::1


 I wouldn't need an include: or ptr statement in this right? I would 
 told include: was to include OTHER domains that are allowed to send 


include is to include other domains SPF records, not plain other
domains.


 e-mail, but then again I see some people writing the domain again as an 
 include. Also is PTR good to use or not?
 


PTR depends on situation, but in your case, not needed.

Re: named.conf splitting

2012-02-17 Thread Noel Butler
On Fri, 2012-02-17 at 07:11 -0800, Chris Buxton wrote:

 Yes, it's quite possible to split named.conf into separate per-zone .conf 
 files and then 'include' them back into named.conf. You can even put the list 
 of include statements in a separate file, and then include that into 
 named.conf.
 
 named.conf:
 
 options {
   [...]
 }
 include /path/to/etc/zones.conf;
 
 
 zones.conf:
 
 include /path/to/etc/zone1.conf;
 include /path/to/etc/zone2.conf;
 [...]
 


If the OP is trying to avoid inline editing, does not the above become
pointless? Still requires inline editing to remove the
include /path/to/etc/zone1.conf, else named will have an error on
reload.

Being involved in the apache discussion I think I see where he wants to
do, but I'm not sure if bind works like that.

(/me   fires up dev box)
  ...
OK,  Nick, it will not do what you want.

Perhaps this is better off as a feature request, and, one that makes
sound sense to me, although I include one hosts.conf file and put all
entries in that and like most are very happy that way, if people are
including singular zone files from another include file, it would make
far better sense, less messy too (I think)

Likely because ns3 has only ipv6 address and no ipv4 address and the
server you are checking from has no ipv6 capability.
You are asking for big problems using this method.
You should give all NS records an IPv4 address, and then add in IPv6 on
the ones you can

eg:

ns2 A   ip.v.4.add
ns2 ip:6:addr

I guess the old versions are not so strict on checking, or dont know
what to do about ipv6

Re: udp vs tcp query

2011-10-22 Thread Noel Butler
I think you have something broken, bind uses UDP by default, if it can
not connect to a dns server on UDP it then retries on TCP.

It also uses TCP for AXFR's
