Re: BIND 9.9.4 is now available. Do we still need RRL & RPZ patches?

2013-09-19 Thread jen142
Hi,

The new version announcement just came across the wire.

Reading the CHANGES, I see that there have been both RRL & RPZ
changes/additions.

I'm not clear if we still need the patches from Vixie/Shryer.

I've been running a build of 9.9.3-p2, patched with
http://ss.vix.su/~vjs/rpz2+rl-9.9.3-P2.patch.

Is that patch functionaliry fully integrated now in 9.9.4?  Or do I
still need to wait for & apply a next version patch?

Thanks,

Jen

Good to know.

The fact that at 

  http://ss.vix.su/~vjs/rrlrpz.html

There was a patch for 9.9.4rc1

  Multiple Zone Response Policy Zone (RPZ2) Speed Improvement with
  Response Rate Limiting (RRL)
BIND9 9.9.4rc1
  file rpz2+rl-9.9.4rc1.patch
version 9.9.4rc1-rpz2+rl.13214.22Version 9.9.4rc1 includes RRL
with ./configure --enable-rrl so this patch only affects RPZ.

seemed to me to suggest that RRL was going to be included, but not RPZ.

That changed, apparently, between rc1 & release.

Oh, and just to be sure, RPZ*2* isn't different than 'just RPZ' included
in BIND, is it?

RPZ2 patch for 9.9.4-release -- can I use the -rc1 patch?

2013-09-25 Thread jen142
Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade a bind 9.9.3 server to 9.9.4.  The 9.9.3 server
was built from src patched with "rpz2+rl-9.9.3-P2.patch" @

"Multiple Zone Response Policy Zone (RPZ2) Speed Improvement
with Response Rate Limiting (RRL)"
 http://ss.vix.su/~vjs/rrlrpz.html

>From another thread, I understand:

(a) RRL is now in/native to bind 9.9.4 source
(b) RPZ is in 9.9.4 source, but it's still different from the
RPZ2 changes provided the patches above

I need to maintain the current server's RPZ2 functionality in 9.9.4. 

Looking, there's no patch there for the 9.9.4 release.

There IS a 9.9.4-rc1 patch.

Can/should I apply the 9.9.4-rc1 patch to 9.9.4-release sources? or do I
need to wait for a new version patch?

I asked in #irc -- they suggested I bring this question back here.

I'll hold off then.

Thanks!

any news/info re: RPZ2+RRL patches for bind 9.9.4-P1?

2013-11-21 Thread jen142
Hi,

Seems the question pops up with every bind release; this time I waited
for at least a couple of weeks since the bind release.

Anyone know what's happening with the RPZ2+RRL patches for bind
9.9.4-P1?

I've tried repeatedly to subscribe to the dns firewalls list to ask
this, but never get a confirmation email to my subscription. Checking,
there doesn't seem to be any activity at all since October in that
list's archives.

I've tried emailing the authors of the patch to get some kind of info;
so far, no response.

Are the patches still being developed separately?  Has the project died?

Any insights/info from the list here?

Thanks,

JenL

as specified @

  http://ss.vix.su/~vjs/rrlrpz.html

...
BIND9 9.9.4
file rpz2+rl-9.9.4.patch, version 9.9.4-rpz2+rl.13269.14
Version 9.9.4 includes RRL with ./configure --enable-rrl so this
patch only affects RPZ. 
...

So, that's simply a naming issue.

IIUC, rpz2 != rpz.

I'd applied "rpz2+rl-9.9.4.patch" to 9.9.4; with success.

So, now, I'm asking about the name- and functionally-equivalent
"rpz2+rl-9.9.4-P1.patch" for the bind 9.9.4-P1 release.

No, not yet.  Having had bad luck with applying the wrong version patch
in the past, I've been waiting for an 'official' update.

Noted as an option. Thanks!

Given that there's no response/info at all from that project either
here, at their site, on their own mailing list, or via email, as much as
it's useful/helpful functionality, I'm wondering whether it's wiser to
just get rid of it from production.

Adding supported 3rd-party functionality to Bind is enough of a hack for
mere mortals -- adding unsupported/dead code sounds like a really bad
idea.
