178f6ad061e54bc5babfca3577f72058fa0797c1Bob Halley in the zone's journal file. This file is automatically created
178f6ad061e54bc5babfca3577f72058fa0797c1Bob Halley by the server when the first dynamic update takes place.
178f6ad061e54bc5babfca3577f72058fa0797c1Bob Halley The name of the journal file is formed by appending the extension
178f6ad061e54bc5babfca3577f72058fa0797c1Bob Halley <code class="filename">.jnl</code> to the name of the
178f6ad061e54bc5babfca3577f72058fa0797c1Bob Halley corresponding zone
178f6ad061e54bc5babfca3577f72058fa0797c1Bob Halley file unless specifically overridden. The journal file is in a
178f6ad061e54bc5babfca3577f72058fa0797c1Bob Halley binary format and should not be edited manually.

178f6ad061e54bc5babfca3577f72058fa0797c1Bob Halley The server will also occasionally write ("dump")
178f6ad061e54bc5babfca3577f72058fa0797c1Bob Halley the complete contents of the updated zone to its zone file.
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence This is not done immediately after
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence each dynamic update, because that would be too slow when a large
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence zone is updated frequently. Instead, the dump is delayed by
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence up to 15 minutes, allowing additional updates to take place.

4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence the journal file to incorporate into the zone any updates that

4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence The only way to ensure that the zone file of a dynamic zone

4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence This will also remove the zone's <code class="filename">.jnl</code> file
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence and update the master file. Edit the zone file. Run

4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence The incremental zone transfer (IXFR) protocol is a way for
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence slave servers to transfer only changed data, instead of having to
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence transfer the entire zone. The IXFR protocol is specified in RFC

4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence Setting up different views, or visibility, of the DNS space to
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence internal and external resolvers is usually referred to as a
b897c52f865b2fc4e220e2110b874e59c716456bBob Halley <span class="emphasis"><em>Split DNS</em></span> setup. There are several
5a6e6c2c9b2f6cf426aa2a682aa800765e26d540Andreas Gustafsson reasons an organization would want to set up its DNS this way.
5a6e6c2c9b2f6cf426aa2a682aa800765e26d540Andreas Gustafsson </p>
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence<p>
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence One common reason for setting up a DNS system this way is
b897c52f865b2fc4e220e2110b874e59c716456bBob Halley to hide "internal" DNS information from "external" clients on the
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence Internet. There is some debate as to whether or not this is actually
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence useful.
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence Internal DNS information leaks out in many ways (via email headers,
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence for example) and most savvy "attackers" can find the information
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence they need using other means.
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence However, since listing addresses of internal servers that
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence external clients cannot possibly reach can result in
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence connection delays and other annoyances, an organization may
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence choose to use a Split DNS to present a consistent view of itself
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence to the outside world.

4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence Another common reason for setting up a Split DNS system is
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence to allow internal networks that are behind filters or in RFC 1918
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence space (reserved IP space, as documented in RFC 1918) to resolve DNS
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence on the Internet. Split DNS can also be used to allow mail from outside
b897c52f865b2fc4e220e2110b874e59c716456bBob Halley back in to the internal network.

5a6e6c2c9b2f6cf426aa2a682aa800765e26d540Andreas Gustafsson (<code class="literal">example.com</code>)
5a6e6c2c9b2f6cf426aa2a682aa800765e26d540Andreas Gustafsson has several corporate sites that have an internal network with
b897c52f865b2fc4e220e2110b874e59c716456bBob Halley reserved
b897c52f865b2fc4e220e2110b874e59c716456bBob Halley Internet Protocol (IP) space and an external demilitarized zone (DMZ),

178f6ad061e54bc5babfca3577f72058fa0797c1Bob Halley people on the outside. The company also wants its internal resolvers

59a6d9cbcdbec6960d47e5871fb7e7c0253e1fb2Mark Andrews The internal servers will be configured to forward all queries,
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence except queries for <code class="filename">site1.internal</code>, <code class="filename">site2.internal</code>, <code class="filename">site1.example.com</code>,

4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence DMZ. These internal servers will have complete sets of information
4b598d8ae578861d5f3fc1333c9f84c9c9c8be7cDavid Lawrence for <code class="filename">site1.example.com</code>, <code class="filename">site2.example.com</code>,<span class="emphasis"><em></em></span> <code class="filename">site1.internal</code>,

b897c52f865b2fc4e220e2110b874e59c716456bBob Halley<p>
To protect the <code class="filename">site1.internal</code> and <code class="filename">site2.internal</code> domains,
the internal name servers must be configured to disallow all queries
to these domains from any external hosts, including the bastion
hosts.
</p>
<p>
The external servers, which are on the bastion hosts, will
be configured to serve the "public" version of the <code class="filename">site1</code> and <code class="filename">site2.example.com</code> zones.
This could include things such as the host records for public servers
(<code class="filename">www.example.com</code> and <code class="filename">ftp.example.com</code>),
and mail exchange (MX) records (<code class="filename">a.mx.example.com</code> and <code class="filename">b.mx.example.com</code>).
</p>
<p>
In addition, the public <code class="filename">site1</code> and <code class="filename">site2.example.com</code> zones
should have special MX records that contain wildcard (`*') records
pointing to the bastion hosts. This is needed because external mail
servers do not have any other way of looking up how to deliver mail
to those internal hosts. With the wildcard records, the mail will
be delivered to the bastion host, which can then forward it on to
internal hosts.
</p>
<p>
Here's an example of a wildcard MX record:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">* IN MX 10 external1.example.com.</pre>
<p>
Now that they accept mail on behalf of anything in the internal
network, the bastion hosts will need to know how to deliver mail
to internal hosts. In order for this to work properly, the resolvers
on
the bastion hosts will need to be configured to point to the internal
name servers for DNS resolution.
</p>
<p>
Queries for internal hostnames will be answered by the internal
servers, and queries for external hostnames will be forwarded back
out to the DNS servers on the bastion hosts.
</p>
<p>
In order for all this to work properly, internal clients will
need to be configured to query <span class="emphasis"><em>only</em></span> the internal
name servers for DNS queries. This could also be enforced via
selective
filtering on the network.
</p>
<p>
If everything has been set properly, <span class="emphasis"><em>Example, Inc.</em></span>'s
internal clients will now be able to:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li>
Look up any hostnames in the <code class="literal">site1</code>
and
<code class="literal">site2.example.com</code> zones.

Look up any hostnames in the <code class="literal">site1.internal</code> and
<code class="literal">site2.internal</code> domains.
</li>
<li>Look up any hostnames on the Internet.</li>
<li>Exchange mail with both internal and external people.</li>

This is a short guide to setting up Transaction SIGnatures
(TSIG) based transaction security in <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>. It describes changes
to the configuration file as well as what changes are required for
different features, including the process of creating transaction
keys and using transaction signatures with <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>.
</p>
<p>
<acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> primarily supports TSIG for server
to server communication.
This includes zone transfer, notify, and recursive query messages.
Resolvers based on newer versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8 have limited support
for TSIG.
</p>
<p>
TSIG can also be useful for dynamic update. A primary
server for a dynamic zone should control access to the dynamic
update service, but IP-based access control is insufficient.
The cryptographic access control provided by TSIG
is far superior. The <span><strong class="command">nsupdate</strong></span>
program supports TSIG via the <code class="option">-k</code> and
<code class="option">-y</code> command line options or inline by use
of the <span><strong class="command">key</strong></span>.

<p>
A shared secret is generated to be shared between <span class="emphasis"><em>host1</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>host2</em></span>.
An arbitrary key name is chosen: "host1-host2.". The key name must
be the same on both hosts.
</p>
<div class="sect3" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title">
<a name="id2571128"></a>Automatic Generation</h4></div></div></div>
<p>
The following command will generate a 128-bit (16 byte) HMAC-MD5
key as described above. Longer keys are better, but shorter keys
are easier to read. Note that the maximum key length is 512 bits;
keys longer than that will be digested with MD5 to produce a
128-bit key.
</p>
<p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-keygen -a hmac-md5 -b 128 -n HOST host1-host2.</code></strong>
</p>
<p>
The key is in the file <code class="filename">Khost1-host2.+157+00000.private</code>.
Nothing directly uses this file, but the base-64 encoded string
following "<code class="literal">Key:</code>"
can be extracted from the file and used as a shared secret:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">Key: La/E5CjG9O+os1jq0a2jdA==</pre>
<p>
The string "<code class="literal">La/E5CjG9O+os1jq0a2jdA==</code>" can

<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title">

<p>
The shared secret is simply a random sequence of bits, encoded
in base-64. Most ASCII strings are valid base-64 strings (assuming
the length is a multiple of 4 and only valid characters are used),
so the shared secret can be manually generated.
</p>

<p>
Imagine <span class="emphasis"><em>host1</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>host 2</em></span>
are
both servers. The following is added to each server's <code class="filename">named.conf</code> file:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
key host1-host2. {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "La/E5CjG9O+os1jq0a2jdA==";
};
</pre>
<p>
The algorithm, hmac-md5, is the only one supported by <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>.
The secret is the one generated above. Since this is a secret, it
is recommended that either <code class="filename">named.conf</code> be non-world
readable, or the key directive be added to a non-world readable
file that is included by
<code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
</p>
<p>
At this point, the key is recognized. This means that if the
server receives a message signed by this key, it can verify the
signature. If the signature is successfully verified, the
response is signed by the same key.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2571235"></a>Instructing the Server to Use the Key</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
Since keys are shared between two hosts only, the server must
be told when keys are to be used. The following is added to the <code class="filename">named.conf</code> file
for <span class="emphasis"><em>host1</em></span>, if the IP address of <span class="emphasis"><em>host2</em></span> is
10.1.2.3:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
server 10.1.2.3 {
keys { host1-host2. ;};
};
</pre>
<p>
Multiple keys may be present, but only the first is used.
This directive does not contain any secrets, so it may be in a
world-readable
file.
</p>
<p>
If <span class="emphasis"><em>host1</em></span> sends a message that is a request
to that address, the message will be signed with the specified key. <span class="emphasis"><em>host1</em></span> will
expect any responses to signed messages to be signed with the same
key.
</p>
<p>
A similar statement must be present in <span class="emphasis"><em>host2</em></span>'s
configuration file (with <span class="emphasis"><em>host1</em></span>'s address) for <span class="emphasis"><em>host2</em></span> to
sign request messages to <span class="emphasis"><em>host1</em></span>.

This has been extended to allow TSIG keys also. The above key would

</p>
<p>
An example of an allow-update directive would be:

<p>
The processing of TSIG signed messages can result in
several errors. If a signed message is sent to a non-TSIG aware
server, a FORMERR (format error) will be returned, since the server will not
understand the record. This is a result of misconfiguration,
since the server must be explicitly configured to send a TSIG
signed message to a specific server.
</p>
<p>
If a TSIG aware server receives a message signed by an
unknown key, the response will be unsigned with the TSIG
extended error code set to BADKEY. If a TSIG aware server
receives a message with a signature that does not validate, the
response will be unsigned with the TSIG extended error code set
to BADSIG. If a TSIG aware server receives a message with a time
outside of the allowed range, the response will be signed with
the TSIG extended error code set to BADTIME, and the time values
will be adjusted so that the response can be successfully
verified. In any of these cases, the message's rcode (response code) is set to
NOTAUTH (not authenticated).

<p><span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span>
is a mechanism for automatically generating a shared secret
between two hosts. There are several "modes" of
<span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> that specify how the key is generated
or assigned. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 implements only one of
these modes, the Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Both hosts are
required to have a Diffie-Hellman KEY record (although this
record is not required to be present in a zone). The
<span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> process must use signed messages,
signed either by TSIG or SIG(0). The result of
<span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> is a shared secret that can be used to
sign messages with TSIG. <span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> can also be
used to delete shared secrets that it had previously
generated.
</p>
<p>
The <span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> process is initiated by a
client
or server by sending a signed <span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span>
query
(including any appropriate KEYs) to a TKEY-aware server. The
server response, if it indicates success, will contain a
<span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> record and any appropriate keys.
After
this exchange, both participants have enough information to
determine the shared secret; the exact process depends on the
<span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> mode. When using the
Diffie-Hellman
<span><strong class="command">TKEY</strong></span> mode, Diffie-Hellman keys are
exchanged,
and the shared secret is derived by both participants.

SIG(0)
uses public/private keys to authenticate messages. Access control

Cryptographic authentication of DNS information is possible
through the DNS Security (<span class="emphasis"><em>DNSSEC-bis</em></span>) extensions,
defined in RFC 4033, RFC 4034, and RFC 4035.
This section describes the creation and use of DNSSEC signed zones.
</p>
<p>
In order to set up a DNSSEC secure zone, there are a series
of steps which must be followed. <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
9 ships
with several tools
that are used in this process, which are explained in more detail
below. In all cases, the <code class="option">-h</code> option prints a
full list of parameters. Note that the DNSSEC tools require the
keyset files to be in the working directory or the
directory specified by the <code class="option">-d</code> option, and
that the tools shipped with BIND 9.2.x and earlier are not compatible
with the current ones.
</p>
<p>
There must also be communication with the administrators of
the parent and/or child zone to transmit keys. A zone's security
status must be indicated by the parent zone for a DNSSEC capable
resolver to trust its data. This is done through the presence
or absence of a <code class="literal">DS</code> record at the
delegation
point.
</p>
<p>
For other servers to trust data in this zone, they must
either be statically configured with this zone's zone key or the
zone key of another zone above this one in the DNS tree.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2571741"></a>Generating Keys</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
The <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span> program is used to
generate keys.
</p>
<p>
A secure zone must contain one or more zone keys. The
zone keys will sign all other records in the zone, as well as
the zone keys of any secure delegated zones. Zone keys must
have the same name as the zone, a name type of
<span><strong class="command">ZONE</strong></span>, and must be usable for
authentication.
It is recommended that zone keys use a cryptographic algorithm
designated as "mandatory to implement" by the IETF; currently
the only one is RSASHA1.
</p>
<p>
The following command will generate a 768-bit RSASHA1 key for
the <code class="filename">child.example</code> zone:
</p>
<p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-keygen -a RSASHA1 -b 768 -n ZONE child.example.</code></strong>
</p>
<p>
Two output files will be produced:
<code class="filename">Kchild.example.+005+12345.key</code> and
<code class="filename">Kchild.example.+005+12345.private</code>
(where
12345 is an example of a key tag). The key filenames contain
the key name (<code class="filename">child.example.</code>),
algorithm (3
is DSA, 1 is RSAMD5, 5 is RSASHA1, etc.), and the key tag (12345 in
this case).
The private key (in the <code class="filename">.private</code>
file) is
used to generate signatures, and the public key (in the
<code class="filename">.key</code> file) is used for signature
verification.
</p>
<p>
To generate another key with the same properties (but with
a different key tag), repeat the above command.
</p>
<p>
The public keys should be inserted into the zone file by
including the <code class="filename">.key</code> files using
<span><strong class="command">$INCLUDE</strong></span> statements.

</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2571811"></a>Signing the Zone</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
The <span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span> program is used
to
sign a zone.
</p>
<p>
Any <code class="filename">keyset</code> files corresponding
to secure subzones should be present. The zone signer will
generate <code class="literal">NSEC</code> and <code class="literal">RRSIG</code>
records for the zone, as well as <code class="literal">DS</code>
for
the child zones if <code class="literal">'-d'</code> is specified.
If <code class="literal">'-d'</code> is not specified, then
DS RRsets for
the secure child zones need to be added manually.
</p>
<p>
The following command signs the zone, assuming it is in a
file called <code class="filename">zone.child.example</code>. By
default, all zone keys which have an available private key are
used to generate signatures.
</p>
<p>
<strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-signzone -o child.example zone.child.example</code></strong>
</p>
<p>
One output file is produced:
<code class="filename">zone.child.example.signed</code>. This
file
should be referenced by <code class="filename">named.conf</code>
as the
input file for the zone.
</p>
<p><span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span>
will also produce a keyset and dsset files and optionally a
dlvset file. These are used to provide the parent zone
administrators with the <code class="literal">DNSKEYs</code> (or their
corresponding <code class="literal">DS</code> records) that are the
secure entry point to the zone.

To enable <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> to respond appropriately
to DNS requests from DNSSEC aware clients,
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-enable</strong></span> must be set to yes.
</p>
<p>
To enable <span><strong class="command">named</strong></span> to validate answers from
other servers both <span><strong class="command">dnssec-enable</strong></span> and
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-validation</strong></span> must be set and some
<span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> must be configured
into <code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> are copies of DNSKEY RRs
for zones that are used to form the first link in the
cryptographic chain of trust. All keys listed in
<span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> (and corresponding zones)
are deemed to exist and only the listed keys will be used
to validated the DNSKEY RRset that they are from.
</p>
<p>
<span><strong class="command">trusted-keys</strong></span> are described in more detail
later in this document.
</p>
<p>
Unlike <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 8, <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym>
9 does not verify signatures on load, so zone keys for
authoritative zones do not need to be specified in the
configuration file.
</p>
<p>
After DNSSEC gets established, a typical DNSSEC configuration
will look something like the following. It has a one or
more public keys for the root. This allows answers from
outside the organization to be validated. It will also
have several keys for parts of the namespace the organization
controls. These are here to ensure that named is immune
to compromises in the DNSSEC components of the security
of parent zones.

Older versions of <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9
supported the "binary label" (also known as "bitstring") format,
but support of binary labels has been completely removed per
RFC 3363.
Many applications in <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9 do not understand
the binary label format at all any more, and will return an
error if given.
In particular, an authoritative <acronym class="acronym">BIND</acronym> 9
name server will not load a zone file containing binary labels.

For an overview of the format and structure of IPv6 addresses,
see <a href="Bv9ARM.ch09.html#ipv6addresses" title="IPv6 addresses (AAAA)">the section called &#8220;IPv6 addresses (AAAA)&#8221;</a>.

<a name="id2572231"></a>Address Lookups Using AAAA Records</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
The IPv6 AAAA record is a parallel to the IPv4 A record,
and, unlike the deprecated A6 record, specifies the entire
IPv6 address in a single record. For example,
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
$ORIGIN example.com.
host 3600 IN AAAA 2001:db8::1
</pre>
<p>
Use of IPv4-in-IPv6 mapped addresses is not recommended.
If a host has an IPv4 address, use an A record, not
a AAAA, with <code class="literal">::ffff:192.168.42.1</code> as
the address.

<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="id2572252"></a>Address to Name Lookups Using Nibble Format</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
When looking up an address in nibble format, the address
components are simply reversed, just as in IPv4, and
<code class="literal">ip6.arpa.</code> is appended to the
resulting name.
For example, the following would provide reverse name lookup for
a host with address
<code class="literal">2001:db8::1</code>.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
$ORIGIN 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 14400 IN PTR host.example.com.
