Hello. The BIND ARM documentation in section 6.2.16.20 says that "Response policy zones are named in the response-policy option for the view or among the global options if there is no response-policy option for the view."
However named with the following configuration fails to start: -------------------------------------------------------------- options { directory "/var/named"; dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt"; memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt"; allow-query { any; }; recursion yes; dnssec-enable no; dnssec-validation no; dnssec-lookaside auto; /* Path to ISC DLV key */ bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key"; managed-keys-directory "/var/named/dynamic"; response-policy { zone "rpz"; }; }; logging { channel default_debug { file "data/named.run" versions 3 size 50M; severity dynamic; }; }; view "trusted" { zone "." IN { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; zone "rpz" { type master; file "rpz.zone"; }; }; view "untrusted" { match-clients { any; }; zone "." IN { type hint; file "named.ca"; }; }; -------------------------------------------------------------- It ends with: ... 07-Jan-2015 13:12:58.641 /etc/named.conf:18: 'rpz' is not a master or slave zone 07-Jan-2015 13:12:58.642 loading configuration: not found 07-Jan-2015 13:12:58.642 exiting (due to fatal error) I think the problem is that if the response-policy statement is used within the options statement, then named looks for the zone only in the _default view. However if you use view statements, then all zones have to be defined in some view, thus making the RPZ zone "non-existing" for the global response-policy statement. If I move the response-policy statement to the "trusted" view it starts to work. However based on the documentation it should work also in the first case. Is the documentation wrong or is it a bug in the RPZ implementation? Thanks!
