- 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.
- </p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
- This guide covers the experimental prototype of
- BIND 10 version 20110322.
- </p></div><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
- BIND 10 provides a EDNS0- and DNSSEC-capable
- authoritative DNS server and a caching recursive name server
- which also provides forwarding.
- </p></div><div class="section" title="Supported Platforms"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id1168230299038"></a>Supported Platforms</h2></div></div></div><p>
- 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.
- </p></div><div class="section" title="Required Software"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id1168230299065"></a>Required Software</h2></div></div></div><p>
- BIND 10 requires Python 3.1. Later versions may work, but Python
- 3.1 is the minimum version which will work.
- </p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
- The authoritative server requires SQLite 3.3.9 or newer.
- The <span class="command"><strong>b10-xfrin</strong></span>, <span class="command"><strong>b10-xfrout</strong></span>,
- and <span class="command"><strong>b10-zonemgr</strong></span> modules require the
- libpython3 library and the Python _sqlite3.so module.
- </p></div><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
- Some operating systems do not provide these dependencies
- in their default installation nor standard packages
- collections.
- You may need to install them separately.
- </p></div></div><div class="section" title="Starting and Stopping the Server"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="starting_stopping"></a>Starting and Stopping the Server</h2></div></div></div><p>
- 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.
- </p><p>
- At first, running many different processes may seem confusing.
- However, these processes are started, stopped, and maintained
- by a single command, <span class="command"><strong>bind10</strong></span>.
- This command starts a master process which will start other
- processes as needed.
- The processes started by the <span class="command"><strong>bind10</strong></span>
- command have names starting with "b10-", including:
- </p><p>
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
- <span class="command"><strong>b10-msgq</strong></span> —

- Authoritative DNS server.
- This process serves DNS requests.
- </li><li class="listitem">

- This process collects and reports statistics data.
- </li><li class="listitem">
- <span class="command"><strong>b10-xfrin</strong></span> —

- This process is used to transfer a new copy
- of a zone into BIND 10, when acting as a secondary server.
- </li><li class="listitem">
- <span class="command"><strong>b10-xfrout</strong></span> —
- Outgoing zone transfer service.

- </li><li class="listitem">
- <span class="command"><strong>b10-zonemgr</strong></span> —
- Secondary manager.
- This process keeps track of timers and other
- necessary information for BIND 10 to act as a slave server.

- Once BIND 10 is running, a few commands are used to interact
- directly with the system:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
- <span class="command"><strong>bindctl</strong></span> —
- interactive administration interface.
- This is a command-line tool which allows an administrator
- to control BIND 10.
- </li><li class="listitem">
- <span class="command"><strong>b10-loadzone</strong></span> —
- zone file loader.
- This tool will load standard masterfile-format zone files into
- BIND 10.
- </li><li class="listitem">
- <span class="command"><strong>b10-cmdctl-usermgr</strong></span> —
- user access control.
- This tool allows an administrator to authorize additional users
- to manage BIND 10.
- </li></ul></div><p>
- </p></div><p>
- The tools and modules are covered in full detail in this guide.
- In addition, manual pages are also provided in the default installation.
- </p><p>
- BIND 10 also provides libraries and programmer interfaces
- for C++ and Python for the message bus, configuration backend,
- and, of course, DNS. These include detailed developer
- documentation and code examples.

- 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.
- </p></div><p>
- Building from source code requires the Boost
- build-time headers. At least Boost version 1.35 is required.
-
-
- </p><p>
- The Python Library and Python _sqlite3 module are required to

- libtoolize, and autoconf (2.59 or newer).
- These may need to be installed.
- </p></div><p>
- The latest development code, including temporary experiments
- and un-reviewed code, is available via the BIND 10 code revision
- control system. This is powered by Git and all the BIND 10
- development is public.
- The leading development is done in the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">master</span>”</span>.
- </p><p>
- The code can be checked out from

- <span class="command"><strong>b10-cmdctl</strong></span> is the gateway between
- administrators and the BIND 10 system.
- It is a HTTPS server that uses standard HTTP Digest
- Authentication for username and password validation.
- It provides a REST-ful interface for accessing and controlling
- BIND 10.
- </p><p>
- When <span class="command"><strong>b10-cmdctl</strong></span> starts, it firsts
- asks <span class="command"><strong>b10-cfgmgr</strong></span> about what modules are
- running and what their configuration is (over the
- <span class="command"><strong>b10-msgq</strong></span> channel). Then it will start listening
- on HTTPS for clients — the user interface — such
- as <span class="command"><strong>bindctl</strong></span>.
- </p><p>
- <span class="command"><strong>b10-cmdctl</strong></span> directly sends commands
- (received from the user interface) to the specified component.
- Configuration changes are actually commands to
- <span class="command"><strong>b10-cfgmgr</strong></span> so are sent there.
- </p><p>The HTTPS server requires a private key,
- such as a RSA PRIVATE KEY.
- The default location is at
- <code class="filename">/usr/local/etc/bind10-devel/cmdctl-keyfile.pem</code>.
- (A sample key is at
- <code class="filename">/usr/local/share/bind10-devel/cmdctl-keyfile.pem</code>.)

- </p><div class="note" title="Note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
- The HTTPS server doesn't support a certificate request from a
- client (at this time).
- The <span class="command"><strong>b10-cmdctl</strong></span> daemon does not provide a
- public service. If any client wants to control BIND 10, then
- a certificate needs to be first received from the BIND 10
- administrator.
- The BIND 10 installation provides a sample PEM bundle that matches
- the sample key and certificate.
- </p></div><p>
- The <span class="command"><strong>b10-cmdctl</strong></span> daemon also requires
- the user account file located at
- <code class="filename">/usr/local/etc/bind10-devel/cmdctl-accounts.csv</code>.
- This comma-delimited file lists the accounts with a user name,
- hashed password, and salt.
- (A sample file is at
