  60. BIND is the popular implementation of a DNS server, developer
  61. interfaces, and DNS tools.
  62. BIND 10 is a rewrite of BIND 9. BIND 10 is written in C++ and Python
  63. and provides a modular environment for serving and maintaining DNS.
  64. BIND 10 provides a EDNS0- and DNSSEC-capable authoritative
  65. DNS server and a caching recursive name server which also
  66. provides forwarding.

  128. accomplished using multiple cooperating processes which, together,

  675. of the <command>b10-sockcreator</command>, <command>b10-msgq</command>
  676. and <command>b10-cfgmgr</command>.
  677. </para>
  678. <para>
  679. The configuration is in the Boss/components section. Each element
  680. represents one component, which is an abstraction of a process
  681. (currently there's also one component which doesn't represent
  682. a process). If you didn't want to transfer out at all (your server
  683. is a slave only), you would just remove the corresponding component
  684. from the set, like this and the process would be stopped immediately
  685. (and not started on the next startup):
  686. <screen>&gt; <userinput>config remove Boss/components b10-xfrout</userinput>
  687. &gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
  688. </para>
  689. <para>
  690. To add a process to the set, let's say the resolver (which not started
  691. by default), you would do this:
  692. <screen>&gt; <userinput>config add Boss/components b10-resolver</userinput>
  693. &gt; <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver/special resolver</userinput>
  694. &gt; <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver/kind needed</userinput>

  696. &gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen></para>
  697. <para>
  698. Now, what it means. We add an entry called b10-resolver. It is both a
  699. name used to reference this component in the configuration and the
  700. name of the process to start. Then we set some parameters on how to
  701. start it.
  702. </para>
  703. <para>
  704. The special one is for components that need some kind of special care
  705. during startup or shutdown. Unless specified, the component is started
  706. in usual way. This is the list of components that need to be started
  707. in a special way, with the value of special used for them:

  723. <para>
  724. The kind specifies how a failure of the component should
  725. be handled. If it is set to <quote>dispensable</quote>
  726. (the default unless you set something else), it will get
  727. started again if it fails. If it is set to <quote>needed</quote>
  728. and it fails at startup, the whole <command>bind10</command>
  729. shuts down and exits with error exit code. But if it fails
  730. some time later, it is just started again. If you set it
  731. to <quote>core</quote>, you indicate that the system is
  732. not usable without the component and if such component
  733. fails, the system shuts down no matter when the failure
  734. happened. This is the behaviour of the core components
  735. (the ones you can't turn off), but you can declare any
  736. other components as core as well if you wish (but you can
  737. turn these off, they just can't fail).
  738. </para>
  739. <para>
  740. The priority defines order in which the components should start.
  741. The ones with higher number are started sooner than the ones with
  742. lower ones. If you don't set it, 0 (zero) is used as the priority.
  743. Usually, leaving it at the default is enough.

  745. <para>
  746. There are other parameters we didn't use in our example.
  747. One of them is <quote>address</quote>. It is the address
  748. used by the component on the <command>b10-msgq</command>
  749. message bus. The special components already know their
  750. address, but the usual ones don't. The address is by
  751. convention the thing after <emphasis>b10-</emphasis>, with
  752. the first letter capital (eg. <command>b10-stats</command>
  753. would have <quote>Stats</quote> as its address).

  764. <!-- TODO Add parameters when they work, not implemented yet-->

  767. This system allows you to start the same component multiple times
  768. (by including it in the configuration with different names, but the
  769. same process setting). However, the rest of the system doesn't expect
  770. such situation, so it would probably not do what you want. Such
  771. support is yet to be implemented.

  773. </note>
  774. <note>
  775. <para>
  776. The configuration is quite powerful, but that includes
  777. a lot of space for mistakes. You could turn off the
  778. <command>b10-cmdctl</command>, but then you couldn't
  779. change it back the usual way, as it would require it to
  780. be running (you would have to find and edit the configuration
  781. directly). Also, some modules might have dependencies
  782. -- <command>b10-stats-httpd</command> need
  783. <command>b10-stats</command>, <command>b10-xfrout</command>
  784. needs the <command>b10-auth</command> to be running, etc.
  785. <!-- TODO: should we define dependencies? -->

  788. In short, you should think twice before disabling something here.
  789. </para>
  790. </note>
  791. <para>
  792. It is possible to start some components multiple times (currently
  793. <command>b10-auth</command> and <command>b10-resolzer</command>).
  794. You might want to do that to gain more performance (each one uses only
  795. single core). Just put multiple entries under different names, like
  796. this, with the same config:
  797. <screen>&gt; <userinput>config add Boss/components b10-resolver-2</userinput>
  798. &gt; <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver-2/special resolver</userinput>
  799. &gt; <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver-2/kind needed</userinput>
  800. &gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
  801. </para>
  802. <para>
  803. However, this is work in progress and the support is not yet complete.
  804. For example, each resolver will have its own cache, each authoritative
  805. server will keep its own copy of in-memory data and there could be
  806. problems with locking the sqlite database, if used. The configuration
  807. might be changed to something more convenient in future.

  1260. <title>Enabling IXFR</title>
  1261. <para>
  1262. As noted above, <command>b10-xfrin</command> uses AXFR for
  1263. zone transfers by default. To enable IXFR for zone transfers
  1264. for a particular zone, set the <userinput>use_ixfr</userinput>
  1265. configuration parameter to <userinput>true</userinput>.
  1266. In the above example of configuration sequence, you'll need
  1267. to add the following before performing <userinput>commit</userinput>:
  1268. <screen>&gt; <userinput>config set Xfrin/zones[0]/use_ixfr true</userinput></screen>
  1269. </para>
  1270. <!-- TODO: http://bind10.isc.org/ticket/1279 -->
  1271. <note><simpara>
  1272. One reason why IXFR is disabled by default in the current
  1273. release is because it does not support automatic fallback from IXFR to
  1274. AXFR when it encounters a primary server that doesn't support
  1275. outbound IXFR (and, not many existing implementations support
  1276. it). Another, related reason is that it does not use AXFR even
  1277. if it has no knowledge about the zone (like at the very first
  1278. time the secondary server is set up). IXFR requires the
  1279. "current version" of the zone, so obviously it doesn't work
  1280. in this situation and AXFR is the only workable choice.
  1281. The current release of <command>b10-xfrin</command> does not
  1282. make this selection automatically.
  1283. These features will be implemented in a near future
  1284. version, at which point we will enable IXFR by default.

  1540. <para>Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv4 (DHCP or
  1541. DHCPv4) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)
  1542. are protocols that allow one node (server) to provision
  1543. configuration parameters to many hosts and devices (clients). To
  1544. ease deployment in larger networks, additional nodes (relays) may
  1545. be deployed that facilitate communication between servers and
  1546. clients. Even though principles of both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 are
  1547. somewhat similar, these are two radically different
  1548. protocols. BIND10 offers server implementations for both DHCPv4
  1549. and DHCPv6. This chapter is about DHCP for IPv4. For a description

  1595. are up, running, are not loopback, and have IPv4 address
  1596. assigned.
  1597. The server will then listen to incoming traffic. Currently

  1992. The logging system in BIND 10 is configured through the
  1993. Logging module. All BIND 10 modules will look at the
  1994. configuration in Logging to see what should be logged and
  1995. to where.

  2000. <para>
  2001. Within BIND 10, a message is logged through a component
  2002. called a "logger". Different parts of BIND 10 log messages
  2003. through different loggers, and each logger can be configured
  2004. independently of one another.
  2005. </para>
  2006. <para>
  2007. In the Logging module, you can specify the configuration
  2008. for zero or more loggers; any that are not specified will
  2009. take appropriate default values..
  2010. </para>
  2011. <para>
  2012. The three most important elements of a logger configuration
  2013. are the <option>name</option> (the component that is
  2014. generating the messages), the <option>severity</option>
  2015. (what to log), and the <option>output_options</option>
  2016. (where to log).
  2017. </para>
  2018. <section>
  2019. <title>name (string)</title>
  2020. <para>
  2021. Each logger in the system has a name, the name being that
  2022. of the component using it to log messages. For instance,
  2023. if you want to configure logging for the resolver module,
  2024. you add an entry for a logger named <quote>Resolver</quote>. This
  2025. configuration will then be used by the loggers in the
  2026. Resolver module, and all the libraries used by it.

  2028. <!-- TODO: later we will have a way to know names of all modules
  2029. Right now you can only see what their names are if they are running
  2030. (a simple 'help' without anything else in bindctl for instance).
  2031. -->
  2032. <para>
  2033. If you want to specify logging for one specific library
  2034. within the module, you set the name to
  2035. <replaceable>module.library</replaceable>. For example, the
  2036. logger used by the nameserver address store component
  2037. has the full name of <quote>Resolver.nsas</quote>. If
  2038. there is no entry in Logging for a particular library,
  2039. it will use the configuration given for the module.
  2040. <!-- TODO: how to know these specific names?
  2041. We will either have to document them or tell the administrator to
  2042. specify module-wide logging and see what appears...
  2043. -->
  2044. </para>
  2045. <para>
  2046. <!-- TODO: severity has not been covered yet -->
  2047. To illustrate this, suppose you want the cache library
  2048. to log messages of severity DEBUG, and the rest of the
  2049. resolver code to log messages of severity INFO. To achieve
  2050. this you specify two loggers, one with the name
  2051. <quote>Resolver</quote> and severity INFO, and one with
  2052. the name <quote>Resolver.cache</quote> with severity
  2053. DEBUG. As there are no entries for other libraries (e.g.
  2054. the nsas), they will use the configuration for the module
  2055. (<quote>Resolver</quote>), so giving the desired behavior.
  2056. </para>
  2057. <para>
  2058. One special case is that of a module name of <quote>*</quote>
  2059. (asterisks), which is interpreted as <emphasis>any</emphasis>
  2060. module. You can set global logging options by using this,
  2061. including setting the logging configuration for a library
  2062. that is used by multiple modules (e.g. <quote>*.config</quote>
  2063. specifies the configuration library code in whatever
  2064. module is using it).
  2065. </para>
  2066. <para>
  2067. If there are multiple logger specifications in the
  2068. configuration that might match a particular logger, the
  2069. specification with the more specific logger name takes
  2070. precedence. For example, if there are entries for for
  2071. both <quote>*</quote> and <quote>Resolver</quote>, the
  2072. resolver module &mdash; and all libraries it uses &mdash;
  2073. will log messages according to the configuration in the
  2074. second entry (<quote>Resolver</quote>). All other modules
  2075. will use the configuration of the first entry
  2076. (<quote>*</quote>). If there was also a configuration
  2077. entry for <quote>Resolver.cache</quote>, the cache library
  2078. within the resolver would use that in preference to the
  2079. entry for <quote>Resolver</quote>.
  2080. </para>
  2081. <para>
  2082. One final note about the naming. When specifying the
  2083. module name within a logger, use the name of the module
  2084. as specified in <command>bindctl</command>, e.g.
  2085. <quote>Resolver</quote> for the resolver module,
  2086. <quote>Xfrout</quote> for the xfrout module, etc. When
  2087. the message is logged, the message will include the name
  2088. of the logger generating the message, but with the module
  2089. name replaced by the name of the process implementing
  2090. the module (so for example, a message generated by the
  2091. <quote>Auth.cache</quote> logger will appear in the output
  2092. with a logger name of <quote>b10-auth.cache</quote>).

  2415. <para>
  2416. Each message written by BIND 10 to the configured logging
  2417. destinations comprises a number of components that identify
  2418. the origin of the message and, if the message indicates
  2419. a problem, information about the problem that may be
  2420. useful in fixing it.
  2421. </para>
  2422. <para>
  2423. Consider the message below logged to a file:
  2424. <screen>2011-06-15 13:48:22.034 ERROR [b10-resolver.asiolink]
  2425. ASIODNS_OPENSOCK error 111 opening TCP socket to 127.0.0.1(53)</screen>
  2426. </para>
  2427. <para>
  2428. Note: the layout of messages written to the system logging
  2429. file (syslog) may be slightly different. This message has
  2430. been split across two lines here for display reasons; in the
  2431. logging file, it will appear on one line.)
  2432. </para>
  2433. <para>
  2434. The log message comprises a number of components:
  2435. <variablelist>
  2436. <varlistentry>
  2437. <term>2011-06-15 13:48:22.034</term>
  2438. <!-- TODO: timestamp repeated even if using syslog? -->
  2439. <listitem><para>
  2440. The date and time at which the message was generated.

  2443. <varlistentry>
  2444. <term>ERROR</term>

  2450. <term>[b10-resolver.asiolink]</term>
  2451. <listitem><para>
  2452. The source of the message. This comprises two components:
  2453. the BIND 10 process generating the message (in this
  2454. case, <command>b10-resolver</command>) and the module
  2455. within the program from which the message originated
  2456. (which in the example is the asynchronous I/O link
  2457. module, asiolink).
  2458. </para></listitem>

  2460. <varlistentry>
  2461. <term>ASIODNS_OPENSOCK</term>
  2462. <listitem><para>
  2463. The message identification. Every message in BIND 10
  2464. has a unique identification, which can be used as an
  2465. index into the <ulink

  2467. Manual</citetitle></ulink> (<ulink
  2468. url="http://bind10.isc.org/docs/bind10-messages.html"
  2469. />) from which more information can be obtained.

  2473. <term>error 111 opening TCP socket to 127.0.0.1(53)</term>
  2474. <listitem><para>
  2475. A brief description of the cause of the problem.
  2476. Within this text, information relating to the condition
  2477. that caused the message to be logged will be included.
  2478. In this example, error number 111 (an operating
  2479. system-specific error number) was encountered when
  2480. trying to open a TCP connection to port 53 on the
  2481. local system (address 127.0.0.1). The next step
  2482. would be to find out the reason for the failure by
  2483. consulting your system's documentation to identify
  2484. what error number 111 means.
