This is the source for the BIND 10 testing branch known as
the parkinglot. This is a simple authoritative server used
to provide identical records for many zones, such as in
a DNS parking service.


BUILDING

Simple build instructions:

  autoreconf --install
  ./configure
  make

Requires autoconf 2.59 or newer.

Use automake-1.11 or better for working Python 3.1 tests.

Install with:

  make install

TEST COVERAGE

Doing code coverage tests:

  make coverage
	Does the following:

  make clean-coverage
	Zeroes the lcov code coverage counters and removes the coverage HTML.

  make perform-coverage
	Runs the C++ tests (using googletests framework).

  make report-coverage
	Generates the coverage HTML, excluding some unrelated headers.
	The HTML reports are placed in a directory called coverage/.

RUNNING

You can start the BIND 10 processes by running bind10 which is
installed to the sbin directory under the installation prefix.
The default location is:

  /usr/local/sbin/bind10

For development work, you can also run the bind10 services from the
source tree:

 ./src/bin/bind10/run_bind10.sh 

(Which will use the modules and configurations also from the source
tree.)

The server will listen on port 5300 for DNS requests.

CONFIGURATION

Commands can be given through the bindctl tool.

The server must be running for bindctl to work.

The following configuration commands are available

help: show the different command modules
<module> help: show the commands for module
<module> <command> help: show info for the command


config show [identifier]: Show the currently set values. If no identifier is
                          given, the current location is used. If a config
                          option is a list or a map, the value is not
                          shown directly, but must be requested separately.
config go [identifier]:   Go to the given location within the configuration.
config set [identifier] <value>: Set a configuration value.
config unset [identifier]: Remove a value (reverts to default if the option
                           is mandatory).
config add [identifier] <value>: add a value to a list
config remove [identifier] <value>: remove a value from a list 
config revert:	Revert all changes that have not been committed
config commit: Commit all changes
config diff: Show the changes that have not been committed yet
