Hallo, I try to setup (=prepare) the our DNS servers for the DNSSEC era. I have a Centos 5.x with Bind 9.3.6-4. I have one problem and 2 questions. The problem is that the specific version seems to lack support for DNSSEC validation! named-checkconf returns the following error: /etc/named.conf:212: unknown option 'dnssec-validation'
!!! Now the questions: 1. I try to understand the concepts of DNSSEC and the signing of root zones. As far as I understand, all I need to add in my bind's configuration are the following lines: **************************** dnssec-enable yes; dnssec-validation yes; **************************** Is that correct? If not so, then what DLV should I use? That if ISC, IANA's, RIPE, what? And how? 2. At another server (opensuse with bind 9.6) I modified the named.conf files are above and then performed the query: dig +multiline +cd +dnssec dlv.isc.org dnskey @localhost The answer was: ********************************* ; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-P3 <<>> +multiline +cd +dnssec dlv.isc.org dnskey @localhost ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 16333 ;; flags: qr rd ra cd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 4, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags: do; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;dlv.isc.org. IN DNSKEY ************** So, the specific server is DNSSEC aware and I will not face any issues with the root zones signing at 01/07/2010. Correct?
