b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync <p>
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync ICANN is in the process of introducing a new Key Signing Key (KSK) for
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync the global root zone. BIND has multiple methods for managing DNSSEC
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync trust anchors, with somewhat different behaviors. If the root
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync key is configured using the <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span>
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync statement, or if the pre-configured root key is enabled by using
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-validation auto</strong></span>, then BIND can keep
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync keys up to date automatically. Servers configured in this way
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync will roll seamlessly to the new key when it is published in
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync the root zone. However, keys configured using the
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> statement are not automatically
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync maintained. If your server is performing DNSSEC validation
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync and is configured using <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span>, you are
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync advised to change your configuration before the root zone begins
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync signing with the new KSK. This is currently scheduled for
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync October 11, 2017.

b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync With the release of BIND 9.11.0, ISC changed to the open
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync source license for BIND from the ISC license to the Mozilla
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync Public License (MPL 2.0).

b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync The MPL-2.0 license requires that if you make changes to
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync licensed software (e.g. BIND) and distribute them outside
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync your organization, that you publish those changes under that
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync same license. It does not require that you publish or disclose
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync anything other than the changes you made to our software.

b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync This new requirement will not affect anyone who is using BIND
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync without redistributing it, nor anyone redistributing it without
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync changes, therefore this change will be without consequence
b9a21c3c91c47e090316e28d759194e46628ed49vboxsync for most individuals and organizations who are using BIND.

Authoritative server support for the EDNS Client Subnet option
(ECS), introduced in BIND 9.11.0, was based on an early version
of the specification, and is now known to have incompatibilities
with other ECS implementations. It is also inefficient, requiring
a separate view for each answer, and is unable to correct for
overlapping subnets in the configuration. It is intended for
testing purposes but is not recommended for for production use.
This was not made sufficiently clear in the documentation at
the time of release.
