  81. <para>
  82. BIND 10 requires Python 3.1. Later versions may work, but Python
  83. 3.1 is the minimum version which will work.
  84. </para>
  85. <para>
  86. BIND 10 uses the Botan crypto library for C++. It requires
  87. at least Botan version 1.8.
  88. </para>
  89. <para>
  90. BIND 10 uses the log4cplus C++ logging library. It requires
  91. at least log4cplus version 1.0.3.

  113. BIND 10 is modular. Part of this modularity is
  114. accomplished using multiple cooperating processes which, together,
  115. provide the server functionality. This is a change from
  116. the previous generation of BIND software, which used a
  117. single process.
  118. </para>
  119. <para>
  120. At first, running many different processes may seem confusing.
  121. However, these processes are started, stopped, and maintained
  122. by a single command, <command>bind10</command>.
  123. This command starts a master process which will start other
  124. processes as needed.
  125. The processes started by the <command>bind10</command>
  126. command have names starting with "b10-", including:

  665. The configuration is in the Boss/components section. Each element
  666. represents one component, which is an abstraction of a process
  667. (currently there's also one component which doesn't represent
  668. a process). If you didn't want to transfer out at all (your server
  669. is a slave only), you would just remove the corresponding component
  670. from the set, like this and the process would be stopped immediately
  671. (and not started on the next startup):
  672. <screen>&gt; <userinput>config remove Boss/components b10-xfrout</userinput>
  673. &gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
  674. </para>
  675. <para>
  676. To add a process to the set, let's say the resolver (which not started
  677. by default), you would do this:
  678. <screen>&gt; <userinput>config add Boss/components b10-resolver</userinput>
  679. &gt; <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver/special resolver</userinput>

  682. &gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen></para>
  683. <para>
  684. Now, what it means. We add an entry called b10-resolver. It is both a
  685. name used to reference this component in the configuration and the
  686. name of the process to start. Then we set some parameters on how to
  687. start it.

  690. The special one is for components that need some kind of special care
  691. during startup or shutdown. Unless specified, the component is started

  711. The kind specifies how a failure of the component should
  712. be handled. If it is set to <quote>dispensable</quote>
  713. (the default unless you set something else), it will get
  714. started again if it fails. If it is set to <quote>needed</quote>
  715. and it fails at startup, the whole <command>bind10</command>
  716. shuts down and exits with error exit code. But if it fails
  717. some time later, it is just started again. If you set it
  718. to <quote>core</quote>, you indicate that the system is
  719. not usable without the component and if such component
  720. fails, the system shuts down no matter when the failure
  721. happened. This is the behaviour of the core components
  722. (the ones you can't turn off), but you can declare any
  723. other components as core as well if you wish (but you can
  724. turn these off, they just can't fail).

  727. The priority defines order in which the components should start.
  728. The ones with higher number are started sooner than the ones with
  729. lower ones. If you don't set it, 0 (zero) is used as the priority.
  730. </para>
  731. <para>
  732. There are other parameters we didn't use in our example.
  733. One of them is <quote>address</quote>. It is the address
  734. used by the component on the <command>b10-msgq</command>
  735. message bus. The special components already know their
  736. address, but the usual ones don't. The address is by
  737. convention the thing after <emphasis>b10-</emphasis>, with
  738. the first letter capital (eg. <command>b10-stats</command>
  739. would have <quote>Stats</quote> as its address).
  740. <!-- TODO: this should be simplified so we don't even have to document it -->

  744. <!-- TODO: document params when is enabled -->
  745. <para>
  746. The last one is process. It is the name of the process to be started.
  747. It defaults to the name of the component if not set, but you can use
  748. this to override it.

  1224. <title>Configuration for Incoming Zone Transfers</title>
  1225. <para>
  1226. In practice, you need to specify a list of secondary zones to
  1227. enable incoming zone transfers for these zones (you can still
  1228. trigger a zone transfer manually, without a prior configuration
  1229. (see below)).
  1230. </para>
  1231. <para>
  1232. For example, to enable zone transfers for a zone named "example.com"
  1233. (whose master address is assumed to be 2001:db8::53 here),
  1234. run the following at the <command>bindctl</command> prompt:
  1235. <screen>&gt; <userinput>config add Xfrin/zones</userinput>
  1236. &gt; <userinput>config set Xfrin/zones[0]/name "<option>example.com</option>"</userinput>
  1237. &gt; <userinput>config set Xfrin/zones[0]/master_addr "<option>2001:db8::53</option>"</userinput>
  1238. &gt; <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
  1239. (We assume there has been no zone configuration before).

  1243. <title>Enabling IXFR</title>
  1244. <para>
  1245. As noted above, <command>b10-xfrin</command> uses AXFR for
  1246. zone transfers by default. To enable IXFR for zone transfers
  1247. for a particular zone, set the <userinput>use_ixfr</userinput>
  1248. configuration parameter to <userinput>true</userinput>.
  1249. In the above example of configuration sequence, you'll need
  1250. to add the following before performing <userinput>commit</userinput>:
  1251. <screen>&gt; <userinput>config set Xfrin/zones[0]/use_ixfr true</userinput></screen>
  1252. </para>
  1253. <!-- TODO: http://bind10.isc.org/ticket/1279 -->
  1254. <note><simpara>
  1255. One reason why IXFR is disabled by default in the current
  1256. release is because it does not support automatic fallback from IXFR to
  1257. AXFR when it encounters a primary server that doesn't support
  1258. outbound IXFR (and, not many existing implementations support
  1259. it). Another, related reason is that it does not use AXFR even
  1260. if it has no knowledge about the zone (like at the very first
  1261. time the secondary server is set up). IXFR requires the
  1262. "current version" of the zone, so obviously it doesn't work
  1263. in this situation and AXFR is the only workable choice.
  1264. The current release of <command>b10-xfrin</command> does not
  1265. make this selection automatically.
  1266. These features will be implemented in a near future
  1267. version, at which point we will enable IXFR by default.

  1581. <para>
  1582. The three most important elements of a logger configuration
  1583. are the <option>name</option> (the component that is

  1585. (what to log), and the <option>output_options</option>

  1593. if you want to configure logging for the resolver module,
  1594. you add an entry for a logger named <quote>Resolver</quote>. This

  1615. <para>
  1616. <!-- TODO: severity has not been covered yet -->
  1617. To illustrate this, suppose you want the cache library
  1618. to log messages of severity DEBUG, and the rest of the
  1619. resolver code to log messages of severity INFO. To achieve
  1620. this you specify two loggers, one with the name
  1621. <quote>Resolver</quote> and severity INFO, and one with
  1622. the name <quote>Resolver.cache</quote> with severity
  1623. DEBUG. As there are no entries for other libraries (e.g.

  1625. (<quote>Resolver</quote>), so giving the desired behavior.
  1626. </para>
  1627. <para>
  1628. One special case is that of a module name of <quote>*</quote>
  1629. (asterisks), which is interpreted as <emphasis>any</emphasis>
  1630. module. You can set global logging options by using this,
  1631. including setting the logging configuration for a library
  1632. that is used by multiple modules (e.g. <quote>*.config</quote>
  1633. specifies the configuration library code in whatever
  1634. module is using it).
  1635. </para>
  1636. <para>
  1637. If there are multiple logger specifications in the
  1638. configuration that might match a particular logger, the
  1639. specification with the more specific logger name takes
  1640. precedence. For example, if there are entries for for
  1641. both <quote>*</quote> and <quote>Resolver</quote>, the
  1642. resolver module &mdash; and all libraries it uses &mdash;
  1643. will log messages according to the configuration in the
  1644. second entry (<quote>Resolver</quote>). All other modules
  1645. will use the configuration of the first entry
  1646. (<quote>*</quote>). If there was also a configuration
  1647. entry for <quote>Resolver.cache</quote>, the cache library
  1648. within the resolver would use that in preference to the
  1649. entry for <quote>Resolver</quote>.
  1650. </para>
  1651. <para>
  1652. One final note about the naming. When specifying the
  1653. module name within a logger, use the name of the module
  1654. as specified in <command>bindctl</command>, e.g.
  1655. <quote>Resolver</quote> for the resolver module,
  1656. <quote>Xfrout</quote> for the xfrout module, etc. When
  1657. the message is logged, the message will include the name
  1658. of the logger generating the message, but with the module
  1659. name replaced by the name of the process implementing
  1660. the module (so for example, a message generated by the
  1661. <quote>Auth.cache</quote> logger will appear in the output
  1662. with a logger name of <quote>b10-auth.cache</quote>).
