RIPE52 agenda item solicitation
by Peter Koch 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Dear DNS WG, at the upcoming RIPE meeting, we will have two slots on Thursday, April 27th (1100-1230 and 1600-1700). There will be the usual administrivia, reports from other groups (IETF, ICANN, ...) and action item reviews. Please send us <dns-wg-chair(a)ripe.net> requests for agenda time including subject, presenter and estimated duration. So, if you have an interesting talk or know of someone else who has or if you have a DNS issue that fits into the wg's charter and that you'd like to discuss, please let us know. For topics of broader interest it's also possible to get a slot in the EOF/Plenary during the week. -Peter

new DNS Operations mailing list
by brett watson 18 Feb '06

18 Feb '06

(Apologies in advance for cross-postings) We've created a new mailing list (based on a proposal approved by OARC members), that is nanog-like yet professional, and bugtraq-like, to deal specifically with DNS security issues such as: Attacks Security vulnerabilities Secure configuration The list concerns all these from the sense of operational problems rather than system administrators tech support. DNS is arguably as important as routing protocols, and yet we rarely hear details of the attacks going on. The folks dealing with attacks may be network admins, system admins, or security folks; they deal with the problems themselves and move on. Establishing an open yet professional group can be essential to: 1. Form a community of operators. 2. Locate serious people. 3. Find out about problems. 4. Share information. 5. Alert of issues. 6. Move on to more secure environments and meat-space operations. If interested in subscribing to this open list, the links below will get you there. http://lists.oarci.net/mailman/listinfo/ -b

DNSSEC breaks qmail
by Lutz Donnerhacke 17 Feb '06

17 Feb '06

Qmail can't deliver to DNSSEC protected domains. (Repost from edri.org-ML) Reason: - qmail send an "ANY IN edri.org" query in order to deliver mail. * Due to DNSSEC, there are a some signatures catched by ANY so the response packet size is 605 bytes. - qmail does not support EDNS extensions for larger UDP packets. * The response is truncated to 512 bytes and marked "truncated". - qmail does not support the very old TCP fallback requirement for DNS. - qmail refuses to deliver the mail and logs "CNAME_lookup_failed_temporarily." Overview of packet sizes question | answer size -----------------------|-------------- ANY edri.org | 605 byte MX edri.org | 237 byte A edri.org | 213 byte -----------------------|-------------- ANY edri.org +dnssec | 1331 byte MX edri.org +dnssec | 923 byte A edri.org +dnssec | 731 byte

Just another lookaside zone
by Lutz Donnerhacke 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- In order to extend the deployment of security technology, we switch to DNSSEC for us and our customers. Usually the collection of SEP keys on each resolver host is hard to maintain. This is the reason why, we set up an other DLV zone. The zone is automatically rechecked for new keys and subentries on each zone. Please allow AXFR (auth by DNSSEC key) to provide all necessary data. The bind lookaside mechanism is limited to small steps, so a many DLV entries as possible are needed. I copy also the data from dlv.verisignlabs.com, so you may even trust them. ;-) Necessary configuration in /etc/named.conf: options { ...; dnssec-enable yes; dnssec-lookaside "." trust-anchor "dnssec.iks-jena.de"; }; trusted-keys { "iks-jena.de." 257 3 5 "AQPRteOmx973cbeIMigT7nciz3dcbt8ssZPG OK2vtPQlEaZO2fKgnm1Fo6FPWcGqKv6O1Zpj Ew2upKVDnzwMCRHpGe0Qh2TawStviww/jxUt joZom9Hy6uIkTvo7TxqnWg55LoHlcsl1kxsF 1PsM2Z88F1XhXSrUtkiQnViXbfzR0joDE8xG J9zRNuzr9Jik+bcv4S4KFOE/Ocn4F5vF7+eo jz9m3/u0gvQdvgFsb7OHr9cYA5GeG++cJWGG 6xFF+yWEDdWuu2A7IJM3EQFWLr0kGDS6oWo/ 5Bz4PlrURjU5wahM1iwLnbKXhQQempzPYnSE s1CW+KH73WjMa76Dna9B"; }; It's recommended to set up a secondary for "dnssec.iks-jena.de".

DNSSEC rollout announcement
by Brett Carr 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

[Apologies for duplicates.] Dear Colleague, The RIPE NCC has been moving ahead with the signing of DNSSEC reverse zones. We are pleased to announce that we have reached the stage where all IPv4 reverse zones are signed. You can find details of the zones and relevant public keys at: https://www.ripe.net/projects/disi/keys/ We are now also accepting signed delegations (DS Records) for all IPv4 zones. Details on how to request a secure delegation can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/rs/reverse/dnssec/registry-procedure.html During the month of January, we will phase in the signing of IPv6 reverse zones. Further notification of this will be sent when the process is complete.

RIPE NCC DNSSEC on the reverse tree update.
by Brett Carr 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Dear Colleagues, As part of the project to deploy DNSSEC in the RIPE NCC service region, the RIPE NCC has further expanded the signing of zones from the reverse tree. The following zones are now signed: ripe.net ripencc.com ripencc.net ripencc.org ripe-ncc.com ripe-ncc.net ripe-ncc.org 89.in-addr.arpa 90.in-addr.arpa 213.in-addr.arpa 213.in-addr.arpa. 193.in-addr.arpa. 195.in-addr.arpa. 212.in-addr.arpa. 194.in-addr.arpa. 145.in-addr.arpa. If you want to configure your resolvers to verify these zones using DNSSEC, *key signing keys* for these zones are available at: https://www.ripe.net/projects/disi/keys/ripe-ncc-dnssec-keys.txt For information about how to use the keys, and for further details about DNSSEC deployment at the RIPE NCC, please see: http://www.ripe.net/projects/disi/keys/ The following zones will now accept secure delegations (DS Records) via the addition of a "ds-rdata:" record in the whois domain object for the zone: 89.in-addr.arpa. 90.in-addr.arpa. 213.in-addr.arpa. 193.in-addr.arpa. 195.in-addr.arpa. Regards Brett Carr RIPE NCC
