- <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 and ISC DHCP.
- BIND 10 is written in C++ and Python and provides a modular
- environment for serving, maintaining, and developing DNS and DHCP.
- BIND 10 provides a EDNS0- and DNSSEC-capable authoritative
- DNS server and a caching recursive name server which also
- provides forwarding.
- It also provides experimental DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers.
- </para>
- <para>
- This guide covers the experimental prototype of
- BIND 10 version &__VERSION__;.
- </para>
- <section>
- <title>Supported Platforms</title>
- <para>
- BIND 10 builds have been tested on (in no particular order)
- Debian GNU/Linux 6 and unstable, Ubuntu 9.10, NetBSD 5,
- Solaris 10 and 11, FreeBSD 7 and 8, CentOS Linux 5.3,
- MacOS 10.6 and 10.7, and OpenBSD 5.1.
- 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 id="required-software">
- <title>Required Software at Run-time</title>
- <para>
- Running BIND 10 uses various extra software which may
- not be provided in some operating systems' default
- installations nor standard packages collections. You may
- need to install this required software separately.
- (For the build requirements, also see
- <xref linkend="build-requirements"/>.)
- </para>
- <para>
- BIND 10 requires at least Python 3.1
- (<ulink url="http://www.python.org/"/>).
- It also works with Python 3.2.
- </para>
- <para>
- BIND 10 uses the Botan crypto library for C++
- (<ulink url="http://botan.randombit.net/"/>).
- It requires at least Botan version 1.8.
- </para>
- <para>
- BIND 10 uses the log4cplus C++ logging library
- (<ulink url="http://log4cplus.sourceforge.net/"/>).
- It requires at least log4cplus version 1.0.3.
- <!-- TODO: It is recommended to use at least version .... -->
- </para>
- <para>
- The authoritative DNS server uses SQLite3
- (<ulink url="http://www.sqlite.org/"/>).
- <!-- TODO: is this still required? -->
- It needs at least SQLite version 3.3.9.
- </para>
- <para>
- The <command>b10-ddns</command>, <command>b10-xfrin</command>,
- <command>b10-xfrout</command>, and <command>b10-zonemgr</command>
- components require the libpython3 library and the Python
- _sqlite3.so module (which is included with Python).
- Python modules need to be built for the corresponding Python 3.
- </para>
- <!-- TODO: this will change ... -->

- <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:

- <para>
- The <command>b10-sockcreator</command>, <command>b10-msgq</command> and

- 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>b10-sockcreator</command> daemon
- helps allocate Internet addresses and ports as needed for BIND 10

- <title>Configuration to start processes</title>
- <para>
- The processes to be used can be configured for
- <command>bind10</command> to start, with the exception
- of the required <command>b10-sockcreator</command>,
- <command>b10-msgq</command> and <command>b10-cfgmgr</command>
- components.
- The configuration is in the <varname>Boss/components</varname>
- section. Each element represents one component, which is
- an abstraction of a process.
- </para>
- <para>
- To add a process to the set, let's say the resolver (which
- is not started by default), you would do this:
- <screen>> <userinput>config add Boss/components b10-resolver</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver/special resolver</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver/kind needed</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver/priority 10</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen></para>
- <para>
- Now, what it means. We add an entry called
- <quote>b10-resolver</quote>. It is both a name used to
- reference this component in the configuration and the name
- of the process to start. Then we set some parameters on
- how to start it.
- </para>
- <para>
- The <varname>special</varname> setting is for components
- that need some kind of special care during startup or
- shutdown. Unless specified, the component is started in a
- usual way. This is the list of components that need to be
- started in a special way, with the value of special used
- for them:
- <!-- TODO: this still doesn't explain why they are special -->
- <table>
- <title>Special startup components</title>

- </tbody>
- </tgroup>
- </table>
- </para>
- <para>
- The <varname>kind</varname> specifies how a failure of the
- component should be handled. If it is set to
- <quote>dispensable</quote> (the default unless you set
- something else), it will get started again if it fails. If
- it is set to <quote>needed</quote> and it fails at startup,
- the whole <command>bind10</command> shuts down and exits
- with an error exit code. But if it fails some time later, it
- is just started again. If you set it to <quote>core</quote>,
- you indicate that the system is not usable without the
- component and if such component fails, the system shuts
- down no matter when the failure happened. This is the
- behaviour of the core components (the ones you can't turn
- off), but you can declare any other components as core as
- well if you wish (but you can turn these off, they just
- can't fail).
- </para>
- <para>
- The <varname>priority</varname> defines order in which the
- components should start. The ones with higher numbers are
- started sooner than the ones with lower ones. If you don't
- set it, 0 (zero) is used as the priority. Usually, leaving
- it at the default is enough.
- </para>
- <para>
- There are other parameters we didn't use in our example.
- One of them is <varname>address</varname>. It is the address
- used by the component on the <command>b10-msgq</command>
- message bus. The special components already know their
- address, but the usual ones don't. The address is by
- convention the thing after <emphasis>b10-</emphasis>, with
- the first letter capitalized (eg. <command>b10-stats</command>
- would have <quote>Stats</quote> as its address).
- <!-- TODO: this should be simplified so we don't even have to document it -->
- </para>
- <!-- TODO: what does "The special components already know their
- address, but the usual ones don't." mean? -->
- <!-- TODO: document params when is enabled -->
- <para>
- The last one is <varname>process</varname>. It is the name
- of the process to be started. It defaults to the name of
- the component if not set, but you can use this to override
- it. (The special components also already know their
- executable name.)
- </para>
- <!-- TODO Add parameters when they work, not implemented yet-->
- <note>
- <para>
- The configuration is quite powerful, but that includes
- a lot of space for mistakes. You could turn off the
- <command>b10-cmdctl</command>, but then you couldn't
- change it back the usual way, as it would require it to
- be running (you would have to find and edit the configuration
- directly). Also, some modules might have dependencies:
- <command>b10-stats-httpd</command> needs
- <command>b10-stats</command>, <command>b10-xfrout</command>
- needs <command>b10-auth</command> to be running, etc.
- <!-- TODO: should we define dependencies? -->
- </para>
- <para>
- In short, you should think twice before disabling something here.
- </para>
- </note>
- <para>
- It is possible to start some components multiple times (currently
- <command>b10-auth</command> and <command>b10-resolver</command>).
- You might want to do that to gain more performance (each one uses only
- single core). Just put multiple entries under different names, like
- this, with the same config:
- <screen>> <userinput>config add Boss/components b10-resolver-2</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver-2/special resolver</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver-2/kind needed</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- However, this is work in progress and the support is not yet complete.
- For example, each resolver will have its own cache, each authoritative
- server will keep its own copy of in-memory data and there could be
- problems with locking the sqlite database, if used. The configuration
- might be changed to something more convenient in future.
- Other components don't expect such a situation, so it would
- probably not do what you want. Such support is yet to be
- implemented.

- <para>
- TSIG is a way to sign requests and responses in DNS. It is defined in

- you want to make any use of TSIG (to authenticate transfers or DDNS,
- for example), you need to set up shared secrets between the endpoints.

- <para>
- BIND 10 uses a global key ring for the secrets. It doesn't currently

- the configuration.
- </para>
- <section id='tsig-key-syntax'>
- <title>Key anatomy and syntax</title>
- <para>
- Each key has three attributes. One is a name by which it is referred
- both in DNS packets and the rest of the configuration. Another is the
- algorithm used to compute the signature. And the last part is a
- base64 encoded secret, which might be any blob of data.
- </para>
- <para>
- The parts are written into a string, concatenated together by colons.
- So if you wanted to have a key called "example.key", used as a

- <screen>"example.key.:c2VjcmV0:hmac-md5"</screen>

- <title>ACLs</title>
- <para>
- An ACL, or Access Control List, is a way to describe if a request
- is allowed or disallowed. The principle is, there's a list of rules.
- Each rule is a name-value mapping (a dictionary, in the JSON
- terminology). Each rule must contain exactly one mapping called
- "action", which describes what should happen if the rule applies.
- There may be more mappings, calld matches, which describe the
- conditions under which the rule applies.
- </para>
- <para>
- When there's a query, the first rule is examined. If it matches, the
- action in it is taken. If not, next rule is examined. If there are no
- more rules to examine, a default action is taken.
- </para>
- <para>
- There are three possible "action" values. The "ACCEPT" value means
- the query is handled. If it is "REJECT", the query is not answered,
- but a polite error message is sent back (if that makes sense in the
- context). The "DROP" action acts like a black hole. The query is
- not answered and no error message is sent.
- </para>
- <para>
- If there are multiple matching conditions inside the rule, all of
- them must be satisfied for the rule to apply. This can be used,
- for example, to require the query to be signed by a TSIG key and
- originate from given address.
- </para>

- <title>Matching properties</title>
- <para>
- The first thing you can check against is the source address
- of request. The name is <varname>from</varname> and the value
- is a string containing either a single IPv4 or IPv6 address,
- or a range in the usual slash notation (eg. "192.0.2.0/24").
- </para>
- <para>
- The other is TSIG key by which the message was signed. The ACL
- contains only the name (under the name "key"), the key itself
- must be stored in the global key ring (see <xref
- linkend="tsig-key-ring"/>).
- This property is applicable only to the DNS context.
- </para>
- <para>
- More properties to match are planned — the destination
- address, ports, matches against the packet content.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>More complicated matches</title>
- <para>
- From time to time, you need to express something more complex
- than just a single address or key.
- </para>
- <para>
- You can specify a list of values instead of single value. Then
- the property needs to match at least one of the values listed
- — so you can say <quote>"from": ["192.0.2.0/24",
- "2001:db8::/32"]</quote> to match any address in the ranges
- set aside for documentation. The keys or any future properties
- will work in a similar way.
- </para>
- <para>
- If that is not enough, you can compose the matching conditions
- to logical expressions. They are called "ANY", "ALL" and "NOT".
- The "ANY" and "ALL" ones contain lists of subexpressions —
- each subexpression is a similar dictionary, just not containing
- the "action" element. The "NOT" contains single subexpression.
- Their function should be obvious — "NOT" matches if and
- only if the subexpression does not match. The "ALL" matches exactly
- when each of the subexpressions matches and "ANY" when at least
- one matches.

- <title>Examples</title>

- surrounding context. This is similar to what you'd get from
- <command>config show_json</command> called on the entry containing
- the ACL.
- </para>
- <para>
- In the first example, the ACL accepts queries from two known hosts.
- Each host has an IP addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6) and a TSIG
- key. Other queries are politely rejected. The last entry in the list
- has no conditions — making it match any query.

- <para>
- The configuration is located in data_sources/classes. Each item there

- In practice, you need to specify a list of secondary zones to
- enable incoming zone transfers for these zones (you can still
- trigger a zone transfer manually, without a prior configuration
- (see below)).
- </para>
- <para>
- For example, to enable zone transfers for a zone named "example.com"
- (whose master address is assumed to be 2001:db8::53 here),
- run the following at the <command>bindctl</command> prompt:
- <screen>> <userinput>config add Xfrin/zones</userinput>

- zone transfers by default. To enable IXFR for zone transfers
- for a particular zone, set the <userinput>use_ixfr</userinput>
- configuration parameter to <userinput>true</userinput>.
- In the above example of configuration sequence, you'll need
- to add the following before performing <userinput>commit</userinput>:
- <screen>> <userinput>config set Xfrin/zones[0]/use_ixfr true</userinput></screen>
- </para>
- <!-- TODO: http://bind10.isc.org/ticket/1279 -->
- <note><simpara>
- One reason why IXFR is disabled by default in the current
- release is because it does not support automatic fallback from IXFR to
- AXFR when it encounters a primary server that doesn't support
- outbound IXFR (and, not many existing implementations support
- it). Another, related reason is that it does not use AXFR even
- if it has no knowledge about the zone (like at the very first
- time the secondary server is set up). IXFR requires the
- "current version" of the zone, so obviously it doesn't work
- in this situation and AXFR is the only workable choice.
- The current release of <command>b10-xfrin</command> does not
- make this selection automatically.
- These features will be implemented in a near future
- version, at which point we will enable IXFR by default.

- <section>
- <title>Enabling Dynamic Update</title>
- <para>
- First off, it must be made sure that a few components on which
- <command>b10-ddns</command> depends are configured to run,
- which are <command>b10-auth</command>
- and <command>b10-zonemgr</command>.
- In addition, <command>b10-xfrout</command> should also be
- configured to run; otherwise the notification after an update
- (see above) will fail with a timeout, suspending the DDNS
- service while <command>b10-ddns</command> waits for the
- response (see the description of the <ulink
- url="bind10-messages.html#DDNS_UPDATE_NOTIFY_FAIL">DDNS_UPDATE_NOTIFY_FAIL</ulink>
- log message for further details).
- If BIND 10 is already configured to provide authoritative DNS
- service they should normally be configured to run already.
- </para>
- <para>
- Second, for the obvious reason dynamic update requires that the
- underlying data source storing the zone data be writable.
- In the current implementation this means the zone must be stored
- in an SQLite3-based data source.
- Also, in this development version, the <command>b10-ddns</command>
- component configures itself with the data source referring to the
- <varname>database_file</varname> configuration parameter of
- <command>b10-auth</command>.
- So this information must be configured correctly before starting
- <command>b10-ddns</command>.
- <note><simpara>
- The way to configure data sources is now being revised.
- Configuration on the data source for DDNS will be very
- likely to be changed in a backward incompatible manner in
- a near future version.
- </simpara></note>
- </para>
- <para>
- In general, if something goes wrong regarding the dependency
- described above, <command>b10-ddns</command> will log the
- related event at the warning or error level.
- It's advisable to check the log message when you first enable
- DDNS or if it doesn't work as you expect to see if there's any
- warning or error log message.
- </para>
- <para>
- Next, to enable the DDNS service, <command>b10-ddns</command>
- needs to be explicitly configured to run.
- It can be done by using the <command>bindctl</command>
- utility. For example:

- > <userinput>config commit</userinput>
- </screen>
- <note><simpara>
- In theory <varname>kind</varname> could be omitted because
- "dispensable" is its default.
- But there's some peculiar behavior (which should be a
- bug and should be fixed eventually; see Trac ticket #2064)
- with <command>bindctl</command> and you'll still need to
- specify that explicitly. Likewise, <varname>address</varname>
- may look unnecessary because <command>b10-ddns</command>
- would start and work without specifying it. But for it
- to shutdown gracefully this parameter should also be
- specified.
- </simpara></note>

- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Access Control</title>
- <para>
- By default, <command>b10-ddns</command> rejects any update
- requests from any clients by returning a REFUSED response.
- To allow updates to take effect, an access control rule
- (called update ACL) with a policy allowing updates must explicitly be
- configured.
- Update ACL must be configured per zone basis in the
- <varname>zones</varname> configuration parameter of
- <command>b10-ddns</command>.
- This is a list of per-zone configurations regarding DDNS.
- Each list element consists of the following parameters:
- <variablelist>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>origin</term>
- <listitem>
- <simpara>The zone's origin name</simpara>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>class</term>
- <listitem>
- <simpara>The RR class of the zone
- (normally <quote>IN</quote>, and in that case
- can be omitted in configuration)</simpara>

- <term>update_acl</term>
- <listitem>
- <simpara>List of access control rules (ACL) for the zone</simpara>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- </variablelist>
- The syntax of the ACL is the same as ACLs for other
- components.
- Specific examples are given below.
- </para>
- <para>
- In general, an update ACL rule that allows an update request
- should be configured with a TSIG key.
- This is an example update ACL that allows updates to the zone
- named <quote>example.org</quote> (of default RR class <quote>IN</quote>)
- from clients that send requests signed with a TSIG whose
- key name is "key.example.org" (and refuses all others):
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add DDNS/zones</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set DDNS/zones[0]/origin example.org</userinput>
- > <userinput>config add DDNS/zones[0]/update_acl {"action": "ACCEPT", "key": "key.example.org"}</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput>
- </screen>
- The TSIG key must be configured system wide
- (see <xref linkend="common-tsig"/>).
- </para>
- <para>
- The full description of ACLs can be found in <xref
- linkend="common-acl" />.
- </para>
- <note><simpara>
- The <command>b10-ddns</command> component accepts an ACL
- rule that just allows updates from a specific IP address
- (i.e., without requiring TSIG), but this is highly
- discouraged (remember that requests can be made over UDP and
- spoofing the source address of a UDP packet is often pretty
- easy).
- Unless you know what you are doing and that you can accept
- its consequence, any update ACL rule that allows updates
- should have a TSIG key in its constraints.
- </simpara></note>
- <para>
- Currently update ACL can only control updates per zone basis;
- it's not possible to specify access control with higher
- granularity such as for particular domain names or specific
- types of RRs.
- <!-- See Trac ticket #2065 -->
- </para>
- <note><simpara>
- Contrary to what RFC 2136 (literally) specifies,
- <command>b10-ddns</command> checks the update ACL before
- checking the prerequisites of the update request.
- This is a deliberate implementation decision.
- This counter intuitive specification has been repeatedly
- discussed among implementers and in the IETF, and it is now
- widely agreed that it does not make sense to strictly follow
- that part of RFC.
- One known specific bad result of following the RFC is that it
- could leak information about which name or record exists or does not
- exist in the zone as a result of prerequisite checks even if a
- zone is somehow configured to reject normal queries from
- arbitrary clients.
- There have been other troubles that could have been avoided if
- the ACL could be checked before the prerequisite check.

- <title>Miscellaneous Operational Issues</title>
- <para>
- Unlike BIND 9, BIND 10 currently does not support automatic
- re-signing of DNSSEC-signed zone when it's updated via DDNS.
- It could be possible to re-sign the updated zone afterwards
- or make sure the update request also updates related DNSSEC
- records, but that will be pretty error-prone operation.
- In general, it's not advisable to allow DDNS for a signed zone
- at this moment.
- </para>
- <para>
- Also unlike BIND 9, it's currently not possible
- to <quote>freeze</quote> a zone temporarily in order to
- suspend DDNS while you manually update the zone.
- If you need to make manual updates to a dynamic zone,
- you'll need to temporarily reject any updates to the zone via
- the update ACLs.
- </para>
- <para>
- Dynamic updates are only applicable to primary zones.
- In order to avoid updating secondary zones via DDNS requests,
- <command>b10-ddns</command> refers to the
- <quote>secondary_zones</quote> configuration of
- <command>b10-zonemgr</command>. Zones listed in
- <quote>secondary_zones</quote> will never be updated via DDNS
- regardless of the update ACL configuration;
- <command>b10-ddns</command> will return a NOTAUTH (server
- not authoritative for the zone) response.
- If you have a "conceptual" secondary zone whose content is a
- copy of some external source but is not updated via the
- standard zone transfers and therefore not listed in
- <quote>secondary_zones</quote>, be careful not to allow DDNS
- for the zone; it would be quite likely to lead to inconsistent
- state between different servers.
- Normally this should not be a problem because the default
- update ACL rejects any update requests, but you may want to
- take an extra care about the configuration if you have such
- type of secondary zones.
- </para>
- <para>
- The difference of two versions of a zone, before and after a
- DDNS transaction, is automatically recorded in the underlying
- data source, and can be retrieved in the form of outbound
- IXFR.
- This is done automatically; it does not require specific
- configuration to make this possible.

- Dhcp6/valid-lifetime 4000 integer (default)
- Dhcp6/subnet6 [] list (default)</screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- To change one of the parameters, simply follow
- the usual <command>bindctl</command> procedure. For example, to make the
- leases longer, change their valid-lifetime parameter:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/valid-lifetime 7200</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
- Please note that most Dhcp6 parameters are of global scope
- and apply to all defined subnets, unless they are overridden on a
- per-subnet basis.
- </para>
- <para>
- The essential role of DHCPv6 server is address assignment. The server
- has to be configured with at least one subnet and one pool of dynamic
- addresses to be managed. For example, assume that the server
- is connected to a network segment that uses the 2001:db8:1::/64
- prefix. The Administrator of that network has decided that addresses from range
- 2001:db8:1::1 to 2001:db8:1::ffff are going to be managed by the Dhcp6
- server. Such a configuration can be achieved in the following way:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/subnet "2001:db8:1::/64"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/pool [ "2001:db8:1::0 - 2001:db8:1::ffff" ]</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
- Note that subnet is defined as a simple string, but the pool parameter
- is actually a list of pools: for this reason, the pool definition is
- enclosed in square brackets, even though only one range of addresses
- is specified.</para>
- <para>It is possible to define more than one pool in a
- subnet: continuing the previous example, further assume that
- 2001:db8:1:0:5::/80 should be also be managed by the server. It could be written as
- 2001:db8:1:0:5:: to 2001:db8:1::5:ffff:ffff:ffff, but typing so many 'f's
- is cumbersome. It can be expressed more simply as 2001:db8:1:0:5::/80. Both
- formats are supported by Dhcp6 and can be mixed in the pool list.
- For example, one could define the following pools:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/pool [ "2001:db8:1::1 - 2001:db8:1::ffff", "2001:db8:1:0:5::/80" ]</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
- The number of pools is not limited, but for performance reasons it is recommended to
- use as few as possible.
- </para>
- <para>
- The server may be configured to serve more than one subnet. To add a second subnet,
- use a command similar to the following:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[1]/subnet "2001:db8:beef::/48"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[1]/pool [ "2001:db8:beef::/48" ]</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
- Arrays are counted from 0. subnet[0] refers to the subnet defined in the
- previous example. The <command>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</command> adds
- another (second) subnet. It can be referred to as
- <command>Dhcp6/subnet6[1]</command>. In this example, we allow server to
- dynamically assign all addresses available in the whole subnet. Although
- very wasteful, it is certainly a valid configuration to dedicate the
- whole /48 subnet for that purpose.
- </para>
- <para>
- When configuring a DHCPv6 server using prefix/length notation, please pay
- attention to the boundary values. When specifying that the server should use
- a given pool, it will be able to allocate also first (typically network
- address) address from that pool. For example for pool 2001:db8::/64 the
- 2001:db8:: address may be assigned as well. If you want to avoid this,
- please use min-max notation.
- </para>
- <para>
- Note: Although configuration is now accepted, it is not internally used
- by they server yet. At this stage of development, the only way to alter
- server configuration is to modify its source code. To do so, please edit
- src/bin/dhcp6/dhcp6_srv.cc file, modify the following parameters and
- recompile:
- <screen>

- Right now you can only see what their names are if they are running
- (a simple 'help' without anything else in bindctl for instance).
- -->
- <para>
- If you want to specify logging for one specific library
- within the module, you set the name to
- <replaceable>module.library</replaceable>. For example, the
- logger used by the nameserver address store component
- has the full name of <quote>Resolver.nsas</quote>. If
- there is no entry in Logging for a particular library,
- it will use the configuration given for the module.
- <!-- TODO: how to know these specific names?
- We will either have to document them or tell the administrator to
- specify module-wide logging and see what appears...
- -->
- </para>
- <para>
- <!-- TODO: severity has not been covered yet -->
- To illustrate this, suppose you want the cache library
- to log messages of severity DEBUG, and the rest of the
- resolver code to log messages of severity INFO. To achieve
- this you specify two loggers, one with the name
- <quote>Resolver</quote> and severity INFO, and one with
- the name <quote>Resolver.cache</quote> with severity
- DEBUG. As there are no entries for other libraries (e.g.
- the nsas), they will use the configuration for the module
- (<quote>Resolver</quote>), so giving the desired behavior.
- </para>
- <para>
- One special case is that of a module name of <quote>*</quote>
- (asterisks), which is interpreted as <emphasis>any</emphasis>
- module. You can set global logging options by using this,
- including setting the logging configuration for a library
- that is used by multiple modules (e.g. <quote>*.config</quote>
- specifies the configuration library code in whatever
- module is using it).
- </para>
- <para>
- If there are multiple logger specifications in the
- configuration that might match a particular logger, the
- specification with the more specific logger name takes
- precedence. For example, if there are entries for for
- both <quote>*</quote> and <quote>Resolver</quote>, the
- resolver module — and all libraries it uses —
- will log messages according to the configuration in the
- second entry (<quote>Resolver</quote>). All other modules
- will use the configuration of the first entry
- (<quote>*</quote>). If there was also a configuration
- entry for <quote>Resolver.cache</quote>, the cache library
- within the resolver would use that in preference to the
- entry for <quote>Resolver</quote>.
- </para>
- <para>
- One final note about the naming. When specifying the
- module name within a logger, use the name of the module
- as specified in <command>bindctl</command>, e.g.
- <quote>Resolver</quote> for the resolver module,
- <quote>Xfrout</quote> for the xfrout module, etc. When
- the message is logged, the message will include the name
- of the logger generating the message, but with the module
- name replaced by the name of the process implementing
- the module (so for example, a message generated by the
- <quote>Auth.cache</quote> logger will appear in the output
- with a logger name of <quote>b10-auth.cache</quote>).
