      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>
        This guide covers the experimental prototype of
        BIND 10 version &__VERSION__;.

    </note>

    <note>
      <para>
        BIND 10 provides a EDNS0- and DNSSEC-capable
        authoritative DNS server and a caching recursive name server
        which also provides forwarding.

      <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.

    <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>

      <note><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>
        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:

            a run-time and a development package.  You will need to install
            the development package versions, which include header files and

      BIND 10 provides the <command>bind10</command> command which 
      starts up the required processes.
      <command>bind10</command>
      will also restart processes that exit unexpectedly.

    </para>

    <para>
      The <command>b10-msgq</command> and <command>b10-cfgmgr</command>
      services make up the core. The <command>b10-msgq</command> daemon
      provides the communication channel between every part of the system.
      The <command>b10-cfgmgr</command> daemon is always needed by every
      module, if only to send information about themselves somewhere,
      but more importantly to ask about their own settings, and
      about other modules.
      The <command>bind10</command> master process will also start up
      <command>b10-cmdctl</command> for admins to communicate with the
      system, <command>b10-auth</command> for authoritative DNS service or

        The <command>b10-msgq</command> implements what is called the
        <quote>Command Channel</quote>.
        Processes intercommunicate by sending messages on the command
        channel.
        Example messages include shutdown, get configurations, and set
        configurations.
        This Command Channel is not used for DNS message passing.
        It is used only to control and monitor the BIND 10 system.

  <chapter id="xfrin">
    <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.
    </para>

    <note><simpara>
     The current development release of BIND 10 only supports
     AXFR. (IXFR is not supported.) 

<!-- TODO: sqlite3 data source only? -->

    </simpara></note>

<!-- TODO:

how to tell bind10 you are a secondary?

when will it first attempt to check for new zone? (using REFRESH?)
what if zonemgr is not running?

what if a NOTIFY is sent?

-->

    <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:

       <screen>&gt; <userinput>Xfrin retransfer zone_name="<option>foo.example.org</option>" master=<option>192.0.2.99</option></userinput></screen>
    </para>

  <chapter id="xfrout">
    <title>Outbound Zone Transfers</title>

    <para>
      The <command>b10-xfrout</command> process is started by
      <command>bind10</command>.
      When the <command>b10-auth</command> authoritative DNS server
      receives an AXFR request, <command>b10-xfrout</command>
      sends the zone.
      This is used to provide master DNS service to share zones
      to secondary name servers.
      The <command>b10-xfrout</command> is also used to send
      NOTIFY messages to slaves.
    </para>

    <title>Secondary Manager</title>

    <para>
      The <command>b10-zonemgr</command> process is started by
      <command>bind10</command>.
      It keeps track of SOA refresh, retry, and expire timers
      and other details for BIND 10 to perform as a slave.
      When the <command>b10-auth</command> authoritative DNS server
      receives a NOTIFY message, <command>b10-zonemgr</command>
      may tell <command>b10-xfrin</command> to do a refresh
      to start an inbound zone transfer.
      The secondary manager resets its counters when a new zone is
      transferred in.

  <chapter id="resolverserver">
    <title>Recursive Name Server</title>

    <para>
      The <command>b10-resolver</command> process is started by
      <command>bind10</command>.
<!-- TODO
      It provides a resolver so DNS clients can ask it to do recursion
      and it will return answers.
-->
    </para>

    <para>
      The main <command>bind10</command> process can be configured
      to select to run either the authoritative or resolver.
      By default, it starts the authoritative service.
<!-- TODO: later both -->

      You may change this using <command>bindctl</command>, for example:

      <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Boss/start_auth false</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config set Boss/start_resolver true</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>

    </para>

    <para>
       The master <command>bind10</command> will stop and start
       the desired services.
    </para>

    <para>
      The resolver also needs to be configured to listen on an address
      and port:

      <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Resolver/listen_on [{ "address": "127.0.0.1", "port": 53 }]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
    </para>

<!-- TODO: later the above will have some defaults -->

    <section>
      <title>Forwarding</title>

      <para>

        To enable forwarding, the upstream address and port must be
        configured to forward queries to, such as:

        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Resolver/forward_addresses [{ "address": "<replaceable>192.168.1.1</replaceable>", "port": 53 }]</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>

        (Replace <replaceable>192.168.1.1</replaceable> to point to your
        full resolver.)
      </para>

      <para>
        Normal iterative name service can be re-enabled by clearing the
        forwarding address(es); for example:

        <screen>
&gt; <userinput>config set Resolver/forward_addresses []</userinput>
&gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput>
</screen>
      </para>

    </section>

<!-- TODO: later try this

> config set Resolver/forward_addresses[0]/address "192.168.8.8"
> config set Resolver/forward_addresses[0]/port 53
then change those defaults with config set Resolver/forward_addresses[0]/address "1.2.3.4"
> config set Resolver/forward_addresses[0]/address "1.2.3.4"
