Re: ho to filter hundeds of domains ?

Normal web filtering software that auto updates is a better approach. Using 
Bind with a manual list of domains to try to achieve this is like trying to 
kill an ant hill 1 ant at a time

what companies asks if you care to have a job...

no problems anyway, I agree with your view.

There are several sources of RPZ data such as Spamhaus and SURBL.  Both
are respected sources of spam filtering data.

(Disclosure: My employer subscribes to both for spam filtering, I have no
financial stake)



Oh I know, I use spamhaus myself for spam filtering - catches a 
ridiculous amount of spam. It is my understanding though the OP wants to 
filter domains for NSFW web browsing, not spam - specifically gambling 
sites.

Typical Bind slave failure scenario - What happens and when?

2012-08-27 Thread Russell Jones

Bind 9.7 on CentOS 6.2


Hi all,

I am attempting to recreate a failure scenario of a slave server that 
cannot contact its master for a zone. I am having a difficult time 
following the log entries of what is occurring due to Bind not seemingly 
following the SOA definitions for the zone. I have the following set on 
this test zone:


example.com IN SOA  dns1.example.com. root.dns1.example.com. (
2012071914 ; serial
60 ; refresh (1 minute)
30 ; retry (30 seconds)
120; expire (2 minutes)
86400  ; minimum (1 day)
)



I am running into the following issues:

 * The refresh time seems to be ignored. Even though it is set at 60
   seconds, it seemed to poll the master server somewhere between 3 and
   5 minutes. I had to define max and min refresh time in
   /etc/named.conf to get it to respect this time. Is there some
   internal limit to how low of a setting  Bind will allow in some of
   the SOA definitions? I was unable to find a minimum limit for this
   when Googling :-)

 * I am seeing the following messages when it fails to contact the
   master (as expected). Only problem is after it sends this message I
   am not seeing an attempt to contact the master every 30 seconds as I
   am interpreting the retry limit to mean:
 o zone example.com/IN: refresh: retry limit for master
   10.32.69.1#53 exceeded (source 0.0.0.0#0)


Am I misunderstanding what Bind will log and attempt to do with the 
retry limit?


Is there any documentation outlining what will actually occur, and when, 
with a slave server when it cannot contact a zone's master for updates?



Thanks!
