Hi list,

recently I updated to bind-9.10 and noticed that an illegal setup was finally disallowed. Good things, but I (and others I'm sure) kind of miss-used this ability. With the change however, I am now looking for help on restoring similar behavior. Let me explain.

As we all know, ads are everywhere and can be quite troublesome. Because of this I block many known adservers internally via bind. To obtain this list of adservers, I use http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/ which generates a file with the following syntax: zone "example.com" { type master; notify no; file "pri/null.zone"; }; The Null zone looks as follows:

; BIND db file for ad servers - point all addresses to an invalid IP
$TTL    864000  ; ten days

@       IN      SOA     ns0.example.net. hostmaster.example.net. (
                        2008032800       ; serial number YYMMDDNN
                        288000   ; refresh  80 hours
                        72000    ; retry    20 hours
                        8640000  ; expire  100 days
                        864000 ) ; min ttl  10 day
                NS      ns0.example.net.

                A       0.0.0.0

*               IN      A       0.0.0.0

Obviously with this and the many (generated) zones having 1 dummy zone sounds reasonable logically.

These adservers are included in my 'internal' view as such:

view "internal" {
        match-clients { internal; trusted; };
        recursion yes;

        include "/etc/bind/dlz_internal.conf";

#       include "/etc/bind/adservers.conf";
};

Adservers.conf being commented here as bind now fails on this.

My question is, what is a good method to do this with the latest bind. I tried to find some way to disable updates or mark the view/include as 'read-only' but have not found this out as of yet.

Any tips and tricks appreciated!

Olliver
