- <title>Introduction</title>
- <para>
- BIND is the popular implementation of a DNS server, developer
- interfaces, and DNS tools.
- BIND 10 is a rewrite of BIND 9. BIND 10 is written in C++ and Python
- and provides a modular environment for serving and maintaining DNS.
- </para>
- <note>
- <para>
- This guide covers the experimental prototype of
- BIND 10 version &__VERSION__;.
- </para>
- </note>
- <note>
- <para>
- BIND 10 provides a EDNS0- and DNSSEC-capable
- authoritative DNS server and a caching recursive name server
- which also provides forwarding.
- </para>
- </note>
- <section>
- <title>Supported Platforms</title>
- <para>
- BIND 10 builds have been tested on Debian GNU/Linux 5,
- Ubuntu 9.10, NetBSD 5, Solaris 10, FreeBSD 7 and 8, and CentOS
- Linux 5.3.
- It has been tested on Sparc, i386, and amd64 hardware
- platforms.
- It is planned for BIND 10 to build, install and run on
- Windows and standard Unix-type platforms.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Required Software</title>
- <para>
- BIND 10 requires Python 3.1. Later versions may work, but Python
- 3.1 is the minimum version which will work.
- </para>
- <para>
- BIND 10 uses the Botan crypto library for C++. It requires
- at least Botan version 1.8.
- </para>
- <para>
- BIND 10 uses the log4cplus C++ logging library. It requires
- at least log4cplus version 1.0.3.
- </para>
- <para>
- The authoritative server requires SQLite 3.3.9 or newer.
- The <command>b10-xfrin</command>, <command>b10-xfrout</command>,
- and <command>b10-zonemgr</command> modules require the
- libpython3 library and the Python _sqlite3.so module.
- </para>
- <!-- TODO: this will change ... -->
- <!-- TODO: list where to get these from -->
- <note>
- <para>
- Some operating systems do not provide these dependencies
- in their default installation nor standard packages
- collections.
- You may need to install them separately.
- </para>

- <section id="starting_stopping">
- <title>Starting and Stopping the Server</title>
- <para>
- BIND 10 is modular. Part of this modularity is
- accomplished using multiple cooperating processes which, together,
- provide the server functionality. This is a change from
- the previous generation of BIND software, which used a
- single process.
- </para>
- <para>
- At first, running many different processes may seem confusing.
- However, these processes are started, stopped, and maintained
- by a single command, <command>bind10</command>.
- This command starts a master process which will start other
- processes as needed.
- The processes started by the <command>bind10</command>
- command have names starting with "b10-", including:

- <title>Building Requirements</title>
- <para>
- In addition to the run-time requirements, building BIND 10
- from source code requires various development include headers.
- </para>
- <note>
- <simpara>
- Some operating systems have split their distribution packages into
- a run-time and a development package. You will need to install
- the development package versions, which include header files and
- libraries, to build BIND 10 from source code.
- </simpara>
- </note>
- <para>
- Building from source code requires the Boost
- build-time headers. At least Boost version 1.35 is required.

- <!-- NOTE: jreed has tested with 1.34, 1.38, and 1.41. -->

- To build BIND 10, also install the Botan (at least version

- TODO
- Debian and Ubuntu:
- libgmp3-dev and libbz2-dev required for botan too

- <title>Incoming Zone Transfers</title>
- <para>
- Incoming zones are transferred using the <command>b10-xfrin</command>
- process which is started by <command>bind10</command>.
- When received, the zone is stored in the BIND 10
- data store, and its records can be served by
- <command>b10-auth</command>.
- In combination with <command>b10-zonemgr</command> (for
- automated SOA checks), this allows the BIND 10 server to
- provide <quote>secondary</quote> service.

- The current development release of BIND 10 only supports
- AXFR. (IXFR is not supported.)

- <para>
- To manually trigger a zone transfer to retrieve a remote zone,
- you may use the <command>bindctl</command> utility.
- For example, at the <command>bindctl</command> prompt run:
