CHANGES file for new releases [was: Re: BIND 9.7.3b1 is now available]

2010-12-23 Thread Chris Thompson

I am sure some people like the new Release Notes section in these
announcements (or the RELEASE-NOTES-* files at ftp.isc.bind), but
can we have some easier way of getting hold of the CHANGES file for
a new release than downloading the whole thing and picking it out?

Does anyone know where to find the ISC signing keys for source packages?

2010-12-23 Thread Oisin McGuinness
I'm getting a new version of Bind to build etc. 

The download pages come with references to signatures (asc, and others).

But I can't find any reference to current PGP or other signing keys; does 
anyone know where to find
them on the www.isc.org web site or where to obtain them otherwise? 

(I've tried to run searches on their site for signature or source signing, 
only getting information back about signing DNS records. 
Also, I haven't found any mention in the FAQ.

Thanks in advance.

Possibly. You can try setting up conditional forwarding for the problem domain, 
setting the authoritative name servers as the 'forwarders' list. This may not 
work, since the authoritative servers may not respond well to recursive 
queries, but it's worth a shot. For example:

zone "e-nxt.com." {
type forward;
forwarders {
202.71.131.12;
202.71.131.13;
};
};

2010-12-23 Thread Mark Andrews

I've extracted the CHANGES files for BIND 9.6.3b1, BIND 9.7.3b1 and
BIND 9.8.0a1 and put them in relevant directories on ftp.isc.org.

That did work. However, this means that I would have to watch the
zone to see
- if the IP addresses of their nameservers change
- if their nameservers change

Here, I can see that the nameserver is giving the right replies to all
queries except the NS queries. My guess is that they must have
transferred the zone from one nameserver to another
(ns[56].zenexpress.com. to ns[12].webpresenceworld.com. for
e-nxt.com) and updated the domain registration, but did not bother to
change the NS record on the new nameservers.

I was hoping that either bind should catch such cases automatically or
allow some workaround which need not be monitored later.
