BIND 9
BIND version 9 is a major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the
underlying BIND architecture. Some of the important features of
BIND 9 are:
- DNS Security
DNSSEC (signed zones)
TSIG (signed DNS requests)
- IP version 6
Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets
IPv6 resource records (AAAA)
Experimental IPv6 Resolver Library
- DNS Protocol Enhancements
IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0
Improved standards conformance
- Views
One server process can provide multiple "views" of
the DNS namespace, e.g. an "inside" view to certain
clients, and an "outside" view to others.
- Multiprocessor Support
- Improved Portability Architecture
BIND version 9 development has been underwritten by the following
organizations:
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Hewlett Packard
Compaq Computer Corporation
IBM
Process Software Corporation
Silicon Graphics, Inc.
Network Associates, Inc.
U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency
USENIX Association
Stichting NLnet - NLnet Foundation
Nominum, Inc.

BIND 9.10.4
BIND 9.10.4 is a maintenance release and addresses bugs
found in BIND 9.10.3 and earlier, as well as the security
flaws described in CVE-2015-8000, CVE-2015-8461, CVE-2015-8704,
CVE-2015-8705 CVE-2016-1285, CVE-2016-1286, and CVE-2016-2088.
BIND 9.10.3
BIND 9.10.3 is a maintenance release and addresses bugs
found in BIND 9.10.2 and earlier, as well as the security
flaws described in CVE-2015-4620, CVE-2015-5477,
CVE-2015-5722, and CVE-2015-5986.
It also makes the following new features available:
- New "fetchlimit" quotas are now available for the use of
recursive resolvers that are are under high query load for
domains whose authoritative servers are nonresponsive or are
experiencing a denial of service attack.
+ "fetches-per-server" limits the number of simultaneous queries
that can be sent to any single authoritative server. The
configured value is a starting point; it is automatically
adjusted downward if the server is partially or completely
non-responsive. The algorithm used to adjust the quota can be
configured via the "fetch-quota-params" option.
+ "fetches-per-zone" limits the number of simultaneous queries
that can be sent for names within a single domain. (Note:
Unlike "fetches-per-server", this value is not self-tuning.)
+ New stats counters have been added to count
queries spilled due to these quotas.
NOTE: These features are NOT built in by default; use
"configure --enable-fetchlimit" to enable them.
- Dig now supports sending of arbitrary EDNS options by specifying
them on the command line.
BIND 9.10.2
BIND 9.10.2 is a maintenance release and addresses bugs
found in BIND 9.10.1 and earlier, as well as the security
flaws described in CVE-2014-8500, CVE-2014-8680 and
CVE-2015-1349.
BIND 9.10.1
BIND 9.10.1 is a maintenance release and addresses bugs
found in BIND 9.10.0 and earlier.
This release addresses the security flaws described in
CVE-2014-3214 and CVE-2014-3859.
BIND 9.10.0
BIND 9.10.0 includes a number of changes from BIND 9.9 and earlier
releases. New features include:
- DNS Response-rate limiting (DNS RRL), which blunts the
impact of reflection and amplification attacks, is always
compiled in and no longer requires a compile-time option
to enable it.
- An experimental "Source Identity Token" (SIT) EDNS option
is now available. Similar to DNS Cookies as invented by
Donald Eastlake 3rd, these are designed to enable clients
to detect off-path spoofed responses, and to enable servers
to detect spoofed-source queries. Servers can be configured
to send smaller responses to clients that have not identified
themselves using a SIT option, reducing the effectiveness of
amplification attacks. RRL processing has also been updated;
clients proven to be legitimate via SIT are not subject to
rate limiting. Use "configure --enable-sit" to enable this
feature in BIND.
- A new zone file format, "map", stores zone data in a
format that can be mapped directly into memory, allowing
significantly faster zone loading.
- "delv" (domain entity lookup and validation) is a new tool
with dig-like semantics for looking up DNS data and performing
internal DNSSEC validation. This allows easy validation in
environments where the resolver may not be trustworthy, and
assists with troubleshooting of DNSSEC problems. (NOTE:
In previous development releases of BIND 9.10, this utility
was called "delve". The spelling has been changed to avoid
confusion with the "delve" utility included with the Xapian
search engine.)
- Improved EDNS(0) processing for better resolver performance
and reliability over slow or lossy connections.
- A new "configure --with-tuning=large" option tunes certain
compiled-in constants and default settings to values better
suited to large servers with abundant memory. This can
improve performance on such servers, but will consume more
memory and may degrade performance on smaller systems.
- Substantial improvement in response-policy zone (RPZ)
performance. Up to 32 response-policy zones can be
configured with minimal performance loss.
- To improve recursive resolver performance, cache records
which are still being requested by clients can now be
automatically refreshed from the authoritative server
before they expire, reducing or eliminating the time
window in which no answer is available in the cache.
- New "rpz-client-ip" triggers and drop policies allowing
response policies based on the IP address of the client.
- ACLs can now be specified based on geographic location
using the MaxMind GeoIP databases. Use "configure
--with-geoip" to enable.
- Zone data can now be shared between views, allowing
multiple views to serve the same zones authoritatively
without storing multiple copies in memory.
- New XML schema (version 3) for the statistics channel
includes many new statistics and uses a flattened XML tree
for faster parsing. The older schema is now deprecated.
- A new stylesheet, based on the Google Charts API, displays
XML statistics in charts and graphs on javascript-enabled
browsers.
- The statistics channel can now provide data in JSON
format as well as XML.
- New stats counters track TCP and UDP queries received
per zone, and EDNS options received in total.
- The internal and export versions of the BIND libraries
(libisc, libdns, etc) have been unified so that external
library clients can use the same libraries as BIND itself.
- A new compile-time option, "configure --enable-native-pkcs11",
allows BIND 9 cryptography functions to use the PKCS#11 API
natively, so that BIND can drive a cryptographic hardware
service module (HSM) directly instead of using a modified
OpenSSL as an intermediary. (Note: This feature requires an
HSM to have a full implementation of the PKCS#11 API; many
current HSMs only have partial implementations. The new
"pkcs11-tokens" command can be used to check API completeness.
Native PKCS#11 is known to work with the Thales nShield HSM
and with SoftHSM version 2 from the Open DNSSEC project.)
- The new "max-zone-ttl" option enforces maximum TTLs for
zones. This can simplify the process of rolling DNSSEC keys
by guaranteeing that cached signatures will have expired
within the specified amount of time.
- "dig +subnet" sends an EDNS CLIENT-SUBNET option when
querying.
- "dig +expire" sends an EDNS EXPIRE option when querying.
When this option is sent with an SOA query to a server
that supports it, it will report the expiry time of
a slave zone.
- New "dnssec-coverage" tool to check DNSSEC key coverage
for a zone and report if a lapse in signing coverage has
been inadvertently scheduled.
- Signing algorithm flexibility and other improvements
for the "rndc" control channel.
- "named-checkzone" and "named-compilezone" can now read
journal files, allowing them to process dynamic zones.
- Multiple DLZ databases can now be configured. Individual
zones can be configured to be served from a specific DLZ
database. DLZ databases now serve zones of type "master"
and "redirect".
- "rndc zonestatus" reports information about a specified zone.
- "named" now listens on IPv6 as well as IPv4 interfaces
by default.
- "named" now preserves the capitalization of names
when responding to queries: for instance, a query for
"example.com" may be answered with "example.COM" if the
name was configured that way in the zone file. Some
clients have a bug causing them to depend on the older
behavior, in which the case of the answer always matched
the case of the query, rather than the case of the name
configured in the DNS. Such clients can now be specified
in the new "no-case-compress" ACL; this will restore the
older behavior of "named" for those clients only.
- new "dnssec-importkey" command allows the use of offline
DNSSEC keys with automatic DNSKEY management.
- New "named-rrchecker" tool to verify the syntactic
correctness of individual resource records.
- When re-signing a zone, the new "dnssec-signzone -Q" option
drops signatures from keys that are still published but are
no longer active.
- "named-checkconf -px" will print the contents of configuration
files with the shared secrets obscured, making it easier to
share configuration (e.g. when submitting a bug report)
without revealing private information.
- "rndc scan" causes named to re-scan network interfaces for
changes in local addresses.
- On operating systems with support for routing sockets,
network interfaces are re-scanned automatically whenever
they change.
- "tsig-keygen" is now available as an alternate command
name to use for "ddns-confgen".
BIND 9.9.0
BIND 9.9.0 includes a number of changes from BIND 9.8 and earlier
releases. New features include:
- Inline signing, allowing automatic DNSSEC signing of
master zones without modification of the zonefile, or
"bump in the wire" signing in slaves.
- NXDOMAIN redirection.
- New 'rndc flushtree' command clears all data under a given
name from the DNS cache.
- New 'rndc sync' command dumps pending changes in a dynamic
zone to disk without a freeze/thaw cycle.
- New 'rndc signing' command displays or clears signing status
records in 'auto-dnssec' zones.
- NSEC3 parameters for 'auto-dnssec' zones can now be set prior
to signing, eliminating the need to initially sign with NSEC.
- Startup time improvements on large authoritative servers.
- Slave zones are now saved in raw format by default.
- Several improvements to response policy zones (RPZ).
- Improved hardware scalability by using multiple threads
to listen for queries and using finer-grained client locking
- The 'also-notify' option now takes the same syntax as
'masters', so it can used named masterlists and TSIG keys.
- 'dnssec-signzone -D' writes an output file containing only DNSSEC
data, which can be included by the primary zone file.
- 'dnssec-signzone -R' forces removal of signatures that are
not expired but were created by a key which no longer exists.
- 'dnssec-signzone -X' allows a separate expiration date to
be specified for DNSKEY signatures from other signatures.
- New '-L' option to dnssec-keygen, dnssec-settime, and
dnssec-keyfromlabel sets the default TTL for the key.
- dnssec-dsfromkey now supports reading from standard input,
to make it easier to convert DNSKEY to DS.
- RFC 1918 reverse zones have been added to the empty-zones
table per RFC 6303.
- Dynamic updates can now optionally set the zone's SOA serial
number to the current UNIX time.
- DLZ modules can now retrieve the source IP address of
the querying client.
- 'request-ixfr' option can now be set at the per-zone level.
- 'dig +rrcomments' turns on comments about DNSKEY records,
indicating their key ID, algorithm and function
- Simplified nsupdate syntax and added readline support
Building
BIND 9 currently requires a UNIX system with an ANSI C compiler,
basic POSIX support, and a 64 bit integer type.
We've had successful builds and tests on the following systems:
COMPAQ Tru64 UNIX 5.1B
Fedora Core 6
FreeBSD 4.10, 5.2.1, 6.2
HP-UX 11.11

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, 6
SCO OpenServer 5.0.6
Slackware 9, 10
SuSE 9, 10
To build, just
./configure
make
Do not use a parallel "make".
Several environment variables that can be set before running
configure will affect compilation:
CC
The C compiler to use. configure tries to figure
out the right one for supported systems.
CFLAGS
C compiler flags. Defaults to include -g and/or -O2
as supported by the compiler. Please include '-g'
if you need to set CFLAGS.
STD_CINCLUDES
System header file directories. Can be used to specify
where add-on thread or IPv6 support is, for example.
Defaults to empty string.
STD_CDEFINES
Any additional preprocessor symbols you want defined.
Defaults to empty string.
Possible settings:
Change the default syslog facility of named/lwresd.
-DISC_FACILITY=LOG_LOCAL0
Enable DNSSEC signature chasing support in dig.
-DDIG_SIGCHASE=1 (sets -DDIG_SIGCHASE_TD=1 and
-DDIG_SIGCHASE_BU=1)
Disable dropping queries from particular well known ports.
-DNS_CLIENT_DROPPORT=0
Sibling glue checking in named-checkzone is enabled by default.
To disable the default check set. -DCHECK_SIBLING=0
named-checkzone checks out-of-zone addresses by default.
To disable this default set. -DCHECK_LOCAL=0
To create the default pid files in ${localstatedir}/run rather
than ${localstatedir}/run/{named,lwresd}/ set.
-DNS_RUN_PID_DIR=0
Enable workaround for Solaris kernel bug about /dev/poll
-DISC_SOCKET_USE_POLLWATCH=1
The watch timeout is also configurable, e.g.,
-DISC_SOCKET_POLLWATCH_TIMEOUT=20
LDFLAGS
Linker flags. Defaults to empty string.
The following need to be set when cross compiling.
BUILD_CC
The native C compiler.
BUILD_CFLAGS (optional)
BUILD_CPPFLAGS (optional)
Possible Settings:
-DNEED_OPTARG=1 (optarg is not declared in <unistd.h>)
BUILD_LDFLAGS (optional)
BUILD_LIBS (optional)
On most platforms, BIND 9 is built with multithreading
support, allowing it to take advantage of multiple CPUs.
You can configure this by specifying "--enable-threads" or
"--disable-threads" on the configure command line. The default
is to enable threads, except on some older operating systems
on which threads are known to have had problems in the past.
(Note: Prior to BIND 9.10, the default was to disable threads on
Linux systems; this has been reversed. On Linux systems, the
threaded build is known to change BIND's behavior with respect
to file permissions; it may be necessary to specify a user with
the -u option when running named.)
To build shared libraries, specify "--with-libtool" on the
configure command line.
Certain compiled-in constants and default settings can be
increased to values better suited to large servers with abundant
memory resources (e.g, 64-bit servers with 12G or more of memory)
by specifying "--with-tuning=large" on the configure command
line. This can improve performance on big servers, but will
consume more memory and may degrade performance on smaller
systems.
For the server to support DNSSEC, you need to build it
with crypto support. You must have OpenSSL 0.9.5a
or newer installed and specify "--with-openssl" on the
configure command line. If OpenSSL is installed under
a nonstandard prefix, you can tell configure where to
look for it using "--with-openssl=/prefix".
To support the HTTP statistics channel, the server must
be linked with at least one of the following: libxml2
(http://xmlsoft.org) or json-c (https://github.com/json-c).
If these are installed at a nonstandard prefix, use
"--with-libxml2=/prefix" or "--with-libjson=/prefix".
On some platforms it is necessary to explicitly request large
file support to handle files bigger than 2GB. This can be
done by "--enable-largefile" on the configure command line.
Support for the "fixed" rrset-order option can be enabled
or disabled by specifying "--enable-fixed-rrset" or
"--disable-fixed-rrset" on the configure command line.
The default is "disabled", to reduce memory footprint.
If your operating system has integrated support for IPv6, it
will be used automatically. If you have installed KAME IPv6
separately, use "--with-kame[=PATH]" to specify its location.
"make install" will install "named" and the various BIND 9 libraries.
By default, installation is into /usr/local, but this can be changed
with the "--prefix" option when running "configure".
You may specify the option "--sysconfdir" to set the directory
where configuration files like "named.conf" go by default,
and "--localstatedir" to set the default parent directory
of "run/named.pid". For backwards compatibility with BIND 8,
--sysconfdir defaults to "/etc" and --localstatedir defaults to
"/var" if no --prefix option is given. If there is a --prefix
option, sysconfdir defaults to "$prefix/etc" and localstatedir
defaults to "$prefix/var".
To see additional configure options, run "configure --help".
Note that the help message does not reflect the BIND 8
compatibility defaults for sysconfdir and localstatedir.
If you're planning on making changes to the BIND 9 source, you
should also "make depend". If you're using Emacs, you might find
"make tags" helpful.
If you need to re-run configure please run "make distclean" first.
This will ensure that all the option changes take.
Building with gcc is not supported, unless gcc is the vendor's usual
compiler (e.g. the various BSD systems, Linux).
Known compiler issues:
* gcc-3.2.1 and gcc-3.1.1 is known to cause problems with solaris-x86.
* gcc prior to gcc-3.2.3 ultrasparc generates incorrect code at -02.
* gcc-3.3.5 powerpc generates incorrect code at -02.
* Irix, MipsPRO 7.4.1m is known to cause problems.
A limited test suite can be run with "make test". Many of
the tests require you to configure a set of virtual IP addresses
on your system, and some require Perl; see bin/tests/system/README
for details.
SunOS 4 requires "printf" to be installed to make the shared
libraries. sh-utils-1.16 provides a "printf" which compiles
on SunOS 4.
Known limitations
Linux requires kernel build 2.6.39 or later to get the
performance benefits from using multiple sockets.
Documentation
The BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual is included with the
source distribution in DocBook XML and HTML format, in the
doc/arm directory.
Some of the programs in the BIND 9 distribution have man pages
in their directories. In particular, the command line
options of "named" are documented in /bin/named/named.8.
There is now also a set of man pages for the lwres library.
If you are upgrading from BIND 8, please read the migration
notes in doc/misc/migration. If you are upgrading from
BIND 4, read doc/misc/migration-4to9.
Frequently asked questions and their answers can be found in
FAQ.
Additional information on various subjects can be found
in the other README files.
