    <title>The DHCP-DDNS Server</title>
    <para>
    The DHCP-DDNS Server (b10-dhcp-ddns, known informally as D2) conducts the client side of
    the DDNS protocol (defined in RFC 2136) on behalf of the DHCPv4 and DHCPv6
    servers (b10-dhcp4 and b10-dhcp6 respectively). The DHCP servers construct
    DDNS update requests, known as NameChangeRequests (NCRs), based upon DHCP
    lease change events and then post these to D2. D2 attempts to match
    each such request to the appropriate DNS server(s) and carry out the
    necessary conversation with those servers to update the DNS data.
    </para>
    <para>
    In order to match a request to appropriate DNS servers, D2 must have a
    catalog of servers from which to select. In fact, D2 has two such catalogs,
    one for forward DNS and one for reverse DNS; these catalogs are referred
    to as DDNS Domain Lists.  Each list consists of one or more named DDNS
    Domains. Further, each DDNS Domain has a list of of one or more DNS
    servers that publish the DNS data for that domain.
    </para>
    <para>
    When conducting forward domain matching, D2 will compare the FQDN in
    the request against the name of each forward DDNS Domain. The domain
    whose name matches the longest portion of the FQDN is considered the
    best match.  For example, if the FQDN is "myhost.sample.example.com.",
    and there are two forward domains in the catalog: "sample.example.com."
    and "example.com.", the former is regarded as the best match.  In some
    cases, it may not be possible to find a suitable match. Given the same two
    forward domains there would be no match for the FQDN, "bogus.net", so the
    request would be rejected.   Finally, if there are no forward DDNS Domains
    defined, D2 will simply disregard the forward update portion of requests.
    </para>
    <para>
    When conducting reverse domain matching, D2 constructs a reverse
    FQDN from the lease address in the request and compare that against
    the name of each reverse DDNS Domain. Again, the domain whose name matches
    the longest portion of the FQDN is considered the best match. For instance,
    if the lease address is "172.16.1.40" and there are two reverse domains in
    the catalog: "1.16.172.in-addr.arpa." and "16.172.in-addr.arpa", the
    former is the best match.  As with forward matching, it is possible to not
    find a suitable match.  Given the same two domains, there would be no
    match for the lease address, "192.168.1.50", and the request would be
    rejected. Finally, if there are no reverse DDNS Domains defined, D2 will
    simply disregard the reverse update portion of requests.

        D2 must listen for change requests on a known address and port.  By
        default it listens at 127.0.0.1 on port 53001. The following example
        illustrates how to change D2's global parameters so it will listen
        at 192.168.1.10 port 900:

          <simpara>
            When the DHCP-DDNS server is configured to listen at an address
            other than the loopback address (127.0.0.1 or ::1), it is possible
            for a malicious attacker to send bogus NameChangeRequests to it
            and change entries in the DNS. For this reason, addresses other
            than the IPv4 or IPv6 loopback addresses should only be used
            for testing purposes. A future version of Kea will implement
            authentication to guard against such attacks.
          </simpara>
        </warning>
<note>
<simpara>
If the ip_address and port are changed, it will be necessary to change the
corresponding values in the DHCP servers' "dhcp-ddns" configuration section.

        <title>TSIG Key List</title>
        <para>
        A DDNS protocol exchange can be conducted with or without TSIG
        (defined in <ulink url="http://tools.ietf/org/html/rfc2845">RFC
        2845</ulink>). This configuration section allows the administrator
        to define the set of TSIG keys that may be used in such
        exchanges.</para>

        <para>To use TSIG when updating entries in a DNS Domain,
        a key must be defined in the TSIG Key List and referenced by
        name in that domain's configuration entry.  When D2 matches a
        change request to a domain, it checks whether the domain has
        a TSIG key associated with it.  If so, D2 will use that key to
        sign DNS update messages sent to and verify repsonses received
        from the domain's DNS server(s). For each TSIG key required by
        the DNS servers that D2 will be working with there must be a
        corresponding TSIG key in the TSIG Key list.</para>

        <para>
        As one might gather from the name, the tsig_key section of the
        D2 configuration lists the TSIG keys.  Each entry describes a
        TSIG key used by one or more DNS servers to authenticate requests
        and sign responses.  Every entry in the list has three parameters:

              used when updating a specific domain. So long as it is unique its
              content is arbitrary, although for clarity and ease of maintenance
              it is recommended that it match the name used on the DNS server(s).

        As an example, suppose that a domain D2 will be updating is
        maintained by a BIND9 DNS server which requires dynamic updates
        to be secured with TSIG.  Suppose further that the entry for
        the TSIG key in BIND9's named.conf file looks like this:
<screen>
   :
   key "key.four.example.com." {
       algorithm hmac-sha224;
       secret "bZEG7Ow8OgAUPfLWV3aAUQ==";
   };
   :
</screen>
        By default, the TSIG Key list is empty:
<screen>
<userinput>> config show DhcpDdns/tsig_keys</userinput>
DhcpDdns/tsig_keys  []  list  (default)
</screen>
        We must first create a new key in the list:
<screen>
<userinput>> config add DhcpDdns/tsig_keys</userinput>
</screen>
        Displaying the new element, reveals:
<screen>
<userinput>> config show DhcpDdns/tsig_keys[0]</userinput>
DhcpDdns/tsig_keys[0]/name  ""  string  (default)
DhcpDdns/tsig_keys[0]/algorithm "HMAC-MD5"  string  (modified)
DhcpDdns/tsig_keys[0]/secret  ""  string  (default)
</screen>
        Now set all three values to match BIND9's key:
<screen>
<userinput>> config set DhcpDdns/tsig_keys[0]/name "key.four.example.com"</userinput>
<userinput>> config set DhcpDdns/tsig_keys[0]/algorithm "HMAC-SHA224"</userinput>
<userinput>> config set DhcpDdns/tsig_keys[0]/secret "bZEG7Ow8OgAUPfLWV3aAUQ=="</userinput>
<userinput>> config commit</userinput>
</screen>
        </para>
        These steps would be repeated for each TSIG key needed.  Note that the same TSIG key
        can be used with more than one domain.

         Displaying the DNS Server element should appear as follows:

        As stated earlier, "hostname" is not yet supported so, the parameter
        "ip_address" must be set to the address of the DNS server. If for
        example the service is running at "172.88.99.10", then set it as
        follows:

          A reverse DDNS Domain maps a reverse DNS zone to a set of DNS servers
          which maintain the reverse DNS data for that zone.  You will need one
          reverse DDNS Domain for each zone you wish to service.  It may very
          well be that some or all of your zones are maintained by the same
          servers; even then, you will still need one DDNS Domain entry for each
          zone. Remember that
          matching a request to the appropriate server(s) is done by zone and
          a DDNS Domain only defines a single zone.
          </para>
          <para>
          The section describes how to add Reverse DDNS Domains. Repeat these
          steps for each Reverse DDNS Domain desired.  Each Reverse DDNS Domain
          has the following parameters:

              The fully qualified reverse zone that this DDNS Domain
              can update.  This is the value used during reverse matching
              which will compare it with a reversed version of the request's
              lease address. The zone name should follow the appropriate
              standards: for example, to to support the IPv4 subnet 172.16.1,
              the name should be. "1.16.172.in-addr.arpa.".  Similarly,
              to support an IPv6 subent of 2001:db8:1, the name should be
              "1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa."
              Whatever the name, it must be unique within the catalog.

              If TSIG should be used with this domain's servers, then this

              If the value is blank (the default), TSIG will not be
              used in DDNS conversations with this domain's servers.  Currently
              this value is not used as TSIG has not been implemented.

              side of the DDNS protocol for this domain.  Currently the servers
              are used in a first to last preference. In other words, when D2
              begins to process a request for this domain it will pick the
              first server in this list and attempt to communicate with it.
              If that attempt fails, it will move to next one in the list and
              so on until the it achieves success or the list is exhausted.

        Displaying the DDNS Domain reveals this:

</screen>
        For domain supporting the subnet 2001:db8:1::, we would set the
        domain's name as follows:

</screen>
        It is permissible to add a domain without any servers. If that domain
        should be matched to a request, however, the request will fail.  In
        order to make the domain useful though, we must add at least one DNS
        server to it.
