Catalog zones is a new feature in BIND scheduled to be released in 9.11. We request reviews of revision -01 the catalog zones draft. The concept is similar to "metazones". It lets nameserver operators provision (add/delete) zones on secondary nameservers automatically using a special zone called a catalog zone representing an RFC 1035 catalog, which contains a list of zones (the catalog) and their associated configuration. Updates to the catalog zone are automatically picked up by secondaries and newly added zones are automatically setup, and deleted ones are automatically removed on these secondary nameservers. An alpha preview of the implementation is available in BIND 9.11.0a3 (alpha) release: http://www.isc.org/downloads/ You can use this if you want to play with the feature, or if you are a DNS developer and want to implement support for catalog zones. An article by Jan-Piet Mens about the BIND 9.11 implementation: http://jpmens.net/2016/05/24/catalog-zones-are-coming-to-bind-9-11/ A presentation about it (in Polish): https://www.isc.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/plnog16-catzones.pdf PowerDNS has a preliminary implementation for catalog zones, by Peter van Dijk (Habbie): https://github.com/PowerDNS/powercatz The goal of making this an internet draft is interoperability. We are hoping for this to become a standard catalog provisioning method among DNS implementations. To help this forward, catalog zones uses DNS protocol purely without any other out-of-band protocols, is designed not to conflict with RFC 1035 name limits, and the zone configuration represented in a catalog zone should be usable across DNS server implementations. As interoperability is high on our minds, we look to take the draft through the WG. Mukund
