I'm not sure if this is of interest to anyone, but I wrote a FreeBSD
accept filter for DNS a few years ago. An accept filter is a socket
option that you can use to tell the kernel to wait before the
accept() syscall returns. In this case, the accept filter delays
the return of accept until there is a full DNS request in the buffer.
Named already tries to use FreeBSD's data-ready accept filter, but
I've been using the patch below to make it use the DNS filter, if
it is available. Would be interest in taking this into the BIND
tree?
David.
(Note, to use the filter, you have to patch named and load the kernel
module, "kldload accf_dns", and then restart named.)
