Hi, Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone involved with making bind. I'm used to using old versions (9.10.3 on an old ubuntu host) and (9.11.5 on debian-10 stable). And just as I'm about to start using DNSSEC for my domains, debian-11 stable is about to come out in a few days with bind-9.16.15 which will make DNSSEC so much easier than I was expecting. Thanks again.
Now to my question. I've seen an odd difference in behaviour between 9.10.3 and 9.11.5 relating to DNSSEC, and I was wondering if anyone knows the reason. With both servers configured with "dnssec-validation auto", 9.10.3 won't resolve tools.ietf.org or datatracker.ietf.org, but 9.11.5 will resolve them. 9.10.3 will only resolve them without "dnssec-validation auto". Below is some dig output. Any thoughts? cheers, raf Bind-9.10.3 (old ubuntu) without dnssec-validation auto: > dig tools.ietf.org +dnssec ; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Ubuntu <<>> tools.ietf.org +dnssec ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 2577 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags: do; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;tools.ietf.org.
