How to determine the last message in sequence in DNS TCP responce
by Владимир Мартьянов 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

I make DNS zone transfer request (aka AXFR) via TCP to the server. The answer is too big (>100Kb), so it could not be sent in one TCP message. So the server send me a sequence of messages. How can I determine which message is the last? I can't found anything about it's count in the first message. I can't found any special flag in the last one. I can't found anything about it in RFC1035. Could you please explain how to find "end of answer"?

New on RIPE Labs: Managing DNS Zones Using Git
by Mirjam Kuehne 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

Dear colleagues, Using zone files for managing the Domain Name System (DNS) zone data is the most basic and flexible way to manage the authoritative DNS data. In this post on RIPE Labs, Ondřej Caletka describes how the Git version control system can be used to store zone file history and protect against errors: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/ondrej_caletka/managing-dns-zones-using-git Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

DNSViz Relocates to DNS-OARC
by Matthew Pounsett 01 Feb '19

01 Feb '19

OARC is pleased to announce that dnsviz.net has moved to join many other tools that we support for the DNS community. DNSViz, Casey Deccio's excellent DNSSEC debugging tool, was initially developed and hosted at Sandia National Laboratories, and has been hosted most recently at Verisign. We'd like to thank them both for providing that service for many years, and Verisign for donating the hardware that DNSViz will continue to live on in the near future. We're happy to be picking up the torch! Casey continues to be the primary developer and maintainer of the application, while OARC takes on the role of hosting and operating the online service. Unfortunately, we will be without the historical functions of the tool for a little over a week while the hardware is in transit between data centers, and DNSVIZ runs on an interim platform. Full access to the historical data will be restored once the hardware is brought back online during the week of February 11th. Matt Pounsett DNS-OARC Systems Engineering

Dear colleagues, At RIPE 77, Sara Dickinson talked about what’s been going on with DNS over the past five years from the perspective of end devices. Now in article form, here's what Sara had to say about the status of the IETF standards for DNS over TLS (DoT) and DNS over HTTPS (DoH) as well as the deployment status of clients and servers for those technologies. https://labs.ripe.net/Members/sara_dickinson/doh-its-dns-jim-but-not-as-we-… Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC

automatic DS record updates in the RIPE database
by Tony Finch 29 Nov '18

29 Nov '18

At the end of his talk at the RIPE meeting this morning, Ondřej Caletka mentioned his work on automated updates to DNSSEC delegations using CDS records: https://ripe77.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/dns-wg/ I commented at the mic to say that this is something I am very keen on. I wrote `dnssec-cds` (an implementation of RFC7344 and section 4 of RFC8078) to help improve DNSSEC automation, and it is included in BIND 9.12 and later. https://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.12.0/doc/arm/man.dnssec-cds.html Ondřej's setup uses a special `mntner` with RIPE database API access to indicate which zones should have their DS records updated automatically. This is a nice way to control permissions when the update process is running outside the RIPE database, but I expect it can be made neater if it is integrated more closely. I would like to help get RFC 7344 support into the RIPE database, so what do we need to do next to make it happen? Tony. -- f.anthony.n.finch <dot(a)dotat.at> http://dotat.at/ Hebrides, Bailey: Westerly backing southerly later, 5 to 7, occasionally gale 8 at first in north Bailey. Rough or very rough, occasionally high at first in north Bailey. Showers, rain later. Good, occasionally moderate.

FOSDEM DNS devroom CfP
by Peter van Dijk 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hello DNS working group, After a successful and packed half-day DNS devroom at FOSDEM 2018, we are happy to announce a full-day DNS devroom at FOSDEM 2019. As with last year, we hope to host talks anywhere from hardcore protocol stuff, to practical sessions for programmers that are not directly involved with DNS but may have to deal with DNS in their day to day coding or system administrators responsible for DNS infrastructure. We have been allotted a room on Sunday 3 February 2019. We expect to schedule 30 minutes per talk, including questions, but if you need more or less time, we can discuss this. If you have something you’d like to share with your fellow developers, please head to pentabarf at https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM19. Examples of topics are measuring, monitoring, DNS libraries, and anecdotes on how you’ve (ab)used the DNS. Here’s the 2018 schedule, for your inspiration: https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/track/dns/ . The deadline for submission is December 1st. If you have a FOSDEM pentabarf account from a previous year, please use that account. Reach out to dns-devroom-manager(a)fosdem.org if you run into any trouble. See you there! Cheers, Peter van Dijk, Shane Kerr, Pieter Lexis, and Kees Monshouwer Kind regards, -- Peter van Dijk PowerDNS.COM BV - https://www.powerdns.com/
