Miek Gieben f58f1e4285 Add secondary support
Allow specifying a primary server and retrieve the zone's content.

Add tests and an Expired bool to zone struct, to stop server zones

that are expired. The zone is retrieved on Startup, no updates of

changed content are done. We also don't respond to notifies yet.

file

file enables serving zone data from a RFC-1035 styled file.

The file middleware is used for "old-style" DNS server. It serves from a preloaded file that exists on disk.

Syntax

file dbfile [zones...]
  • dbfile the database file to read and parse.
  • zones zones it should be authoritative for. If empty the zones from the configuration block are used.

If you want to round robin A and AAAA responses look at the loadbalance middleware.

TSIG key configuration is TODO; directive format for transfer will probably be extended with TSIG key information, something like transfer out [address] key [name] [base64]

file dbfile [zones... ] {
    transfer out [address...]
    transfer to [address]
}
  • transfer enables zone transfers. It may be specified multiples times. To or from signals the direction. Address must be denoted in CIDR notation (127.0.0.1/32 etc.). The special wildcard "*" means: the entire internet.

Examples

Load the miek.nl zone from miek.nl.signed and allow transfers to the internet.

file miek.nl.signed miek.nl {
    transfer to *
}
