|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
|
|
|
.B unbound.conf
|
|
|
|
|
is used to configure
|
|
|
|
|
\fIunbound\fR(8).
|
|
|
|
|
The file format has attributes and values. Some attributes have attributes inside them.
|
|
|
|
|
The notation is: attribute: value.
|

Comments start with # and last to the end of line. Empty lines are
|
|
|
|

The utility
|
|
|
|
|
\fIunbound\-checkconf\fR(8)
|
|
|
|
|
can be used to check unbound.conf prior to usage.
|
|
|
|
|
.SH "EXAMPLE"
|
|
|
|
|
An example config file is shown below. Copy this to /etc/unbound/unbound.conf
|
|
|
|
|
and start the server with:
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
|
$ unbound \-c /etc/unbound/unbound.conf
|
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
Most settings are the defaults. Stop the server with:
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
|
$ kill `cat /etc/unbound/unbound.pid`

.SH "FILE FORMAT"
|
|
|
|
|
There must be whitespace between keywords. Attribute keywords end with a colon ':'. An attribute
|
|
|
|
|
is followed by its containing attributes, or a value.
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
Files can be included using the
|
|
|
|
|
.B include:
|
|
|
|
|
directive. It can appear anywhere, it accepts a single file name as argument.
|
|
|
|
|
Processing continues as if the text from the included file was copied into
|
|
|
|
|
the config file at that point. If also using chroot, using full path names
|
|
|
|
|
for the included files works, relative pathnames for the included names work
|
|
|
|
|
if the directory where the daemon is started equals its chroot/working
|
|
|
|
|
directory. Wildcards can be used to include multiple files, see \fIglob\fR(7).

.SS "Server Options"
|
|
|
|
|
These options are part of the
|
|
|
|
|
.B server:
|
|
|
|
|
clause.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B verbosity: \fI<number>
|
|
|
|
|
The verbosity number, level 0 means no verbosity, only errors. Level 1
|
|
|
|
|
gives operational information. Level 2 gives detailed operational
|
|
|
|
|
information. Level 3 gives query level information, output per query.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 4 gives algorithm level information. Level 5 logs client
|
|
|
|
|
identification for cache misses. Default is level 1.
|
|
|
|
|
The verbosity can also be increased from the commandline, see \fIunbound\fR(8).
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B statistics\-interval: \fI<seconds>
|
|
|
|
|
The number of seconds between printing statistics to the log for every thread.
|
|
|
|
|
Disable with value 0 or "". Default is disabled. The histogram statistics
|
|
|
|
|
are only printed if replies were sent during the statistics interval,
|
|
|
|
|
requestlist statistics are printed for every interval (but can be 0).
|
|
|
|
|
This is because the median calculation requires data to be present.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B statistics\-cumulative: \fI<yes or no>
|
|
|
|
|
If enabled, statistics are cumulative since starting unbound, without clearing
|
|
|
|
|
the statistics counters after logging the statistics. Default is no.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B extended\-statistics: \fI<yes or no>
|
|
|
|
|
If enabled, extended statistics are printed from \fIunbound\-control\fR(8).
|
|
|
|
|
Default is off, because keeping track of more statistics takes time. The
|
|
|
|
|
counters are listed in \fIunbound\-control\fR(8).
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B num\-threads: \fI<number>
|
|
|
|
|
The number of threads to create to serve clients. Use 1 for no threading.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B port: \fI<port number>
|
|
|
|
|
The port number, default 53, on which the server responds to queries.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B interface: \fI<ip address[@port]>
|
|
|
|
|
Interface to use to connect to the network. This interface is listened to
|
|
|
|
|
for queries from clients, and answers to clients are given from it.
|
|
|
|
|
Can be given multiple times to work on several interfaces. If none are
|
|
|
|
|
given the default is to listen to localhost.
|
|
|
|
|
The interfaces are not changed on a reload (kill \-HUP) but only on restart.
|
|
|
|
|
A port number can be specified with @port (without spaces between
|
|
|
|
|
interface and port number), if not specified the default port (from
|
|
|
|
|
\fBport\fR) is used.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B ip\-address: \fI<ip address[@port]>
|
|
|
|
|
Same as interface: (for easy of compatibility with nsd.conf).
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B interface\-automatic: \fI<yes or no>
|
|
|
|
|
Detect source interface on UDP queries and copy them to replies. This
|
|
|
|
|
feature is experimental, and needs support in your OS for particular socket
|
|
|
|
|
options. Default value is no.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B outgoing\-interface: \fI<ip address>
|
|
|
|
|
Interface to use to connect to the network. This interface is used to send
|
|
|
|
|
queries to authoritative servers and receive their replies. Can be given
|
|
|
|
|
multiple times to work on several interfaces. If none are given the
|
|
|
|
|
default (all) is used. You can specify the same interfaces in
|
|
|
|
|
.B interface:
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
.B outgoing\-interface:
|
|
|
|
|
lines, the interfaces are then used for both purposes. Outgoing queries are
|
|
|
|
|
sent via a random outgoing interface to counter spoofing.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B outgoing\-range: \fI<number>
|
|
|
|
|
Number of ports to open. This number of file descriptors can be opened per
|
|
|
|
|
thread. Must be at least 1. Default depends on compile options. Larger
|
|
|
|
|
numbers need extra resources from the operating system. For performance a
|
|
|
|
|
a very large value is best, use libevent to make this possible.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B outgoing\-port\-permit: \fI<port number or range>
|
|
|
|
|
Permit unbound to open this port or range of ports for use to send queries.
|
|
|
|
|
A larger number of permitted outgoing ports increases resilience against
|
|
|
|
|
spoofing attempts. Make sure these ports are not needed by other daemons.
|
|
|
|
|
By default only ports above 1024 that have not been assigned by IANA are used.
|
|
|
|
|
Give a port number or a range of the form "low\-high", without spaces.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP
|
|
|
|
|
The \fBoutgoing\-port\-permit\fR and \fBoutgoing\-port\-avoid\fR statements
|
|
|
|
|
are processed in the line order of the config file, adding the permitted ports
|
|
|
|
|
and subtracting the avoided ports from the set of allowed ports. The
|
|
|
|
|
processing starts with the non IANA allocated ports above 1024 in the set
|
|
|
|
|
of allowed ports.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B outgoing\-port\-avoid: \fI<port number or range>
|
|
|
|
|
Do not permit unbound to open this port or range of ports for use to send
|
|
|
|
|
queries. Use this to make sure unbound does not grab a port that another
|
|
|
|
|
daemon needs. The port is avoided on all outgoing interfaces, both IP4 and IP6.
|
|
|
|
|
By default only ports above 1024 that have not been assigned by IANA are used.
|
|
|
|
|
Give a port number or a range of the form "low\-high", without spaces.

|
|
|
.B outgoing\-num\-tcp: \fI<number>
|
2015-04-02 03:16:18 -06:00
|
|
|
Number of outgoing TCP buffers to allocate per thread. Default is 10. If
|
|
|
|
|
set to 0, or if do\-tcp is "no", no TCP queries to authoritative servers
|
|
|
|
|
are done. For larger installations increasing this value is a good idea.
|
2014-10-05 15:44:31 -06:00

|
|
|
|
|
.B incoming\-num\-tcp: \fI<number>
|
2015-04-02 03:16:18 -06:00
|
|
|
Number of incoming TCP buffers to allocate per thread. Default is
|
|
|
|
|
10. If set to 0, or if do\-tcp is "no", no TCP queries from clients are
|
|
|
|
|
accepted. For larger installations increasing this value is a good idea.
|
2014-10-05 15:44:31 -06:00
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B edns\-buffer\-size: \fI<number>
|
|
|
|
|
Number of bytes size to advertise as the EDNS reassembly buffer size.
|
|
|
|
|
This is the value put into datagrams over UDP towards peers. The actual
|
|
|
|
|
buffer size is determined by msg\-buffer\-size (both for TCP and UDP). Do
|
|
|
|
|
not set higher than that value. Default is 4096 which is RFC recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
If you have fragmentation reassembly problems, usually seen as timeouts,
|
|
|
|
|
then a value of 1480 can fix it. Setting to 512 bypasses even the most
|
|
|
|
|
stringent path MTU problems, but is seen as extreme, since the amount
|
|
|
|
|
of TCP fallback generated is excessive (probably also for this resolver,
|
|
|
|
|
consider tuning the outgoing tcp number).
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B max\-udp\-size: \fI<number>
|
|
|
|
|
Maximum UDP response size (not applied to TCP response). 65536 disables the
|
|
|
|
|
udp response size maximum, and uses the choice from the client, always.
|
|
|
|
|
Suggested values are 512 to 4096. Default is 4096.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B msg\-buffer\-size: \fI<number>
|
|
|
|
|
Number of bytes size of the message buffers. Default is 65552 bytes, enough
|
|
|
|
|
for 64 Kb packets, the maximum DNS message size. No message larger than this
|
|
|
|
|
can be sent or received. Can be reduced to use less memory, but some requests
|
|
|
|
|
for DNS data, such as for huge resource records, will result in a SERVFAIL
|
|
|
|
|
reply to the client.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B msg\-cache\-size: \fI<number>
|
|
|
|
|
Number of bytes size of the message cache. Default is 4 megabytes.
|
|
|
|
|
A plain number is in bytes, append 'k', 'm' or 'g' for kilobytes, megabytes
|
|
|
|
|
or gigabytes (1024*1024 bytes in a megabyte).
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B msg\-cache\-slabs: \fI<number>
|
|
|
|
|
Number of slabs in the message cache. Slabs reduce lock contention by threads.
|
|
|
|
|
Must be set to a power of 2. Setting (close) to the number of cpus is a
|
|
|
|
|
reasonable guess.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B num\-queries\-per\-thread: \fI<number>
|
|
|
|
|
The number of queries that every thread will service simultaneously.
|
|
|
|
|
If more queries arrive that need servicing, and no queries can be jostled out
|
|
|
|
|
(see \fIjostle\-timeout\fR), then the queries are dropped. This forces
|
|
|
|
|
the client to resend after a timeout; allowing the server time to work on
|
|
|
|
|
the existing queries. Default depends on compile options, 512 or 1024.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B jostle\-timeout: \fI<msec>
|
|
|
|
|
Timeout used when the server is very busy. Set to a value that usually
|
|
|
|
|
results in one roundtrip to the authority servers. If too many queries
|
|
|
|
|
arrive, then 50% of the queries are allowed to run to completion, and
|
|
|
|
|
the other 50% are replaced with the new incoming query if they have already
|
|
|
|
|
spent more than their allowed time. This protects against denial of
|
|
|
|
|
service by slow queries or high query rates. Default 200 milliseconds.
|
|
|
|
|
The effect is that the qps for long-lasting queries is about
|
|
|
|
|
(numqueriesperthread / 2) / (average time for such long queries) qps.
|
|
|
|
|
The qps for short queries can be about (numqueriesperthread / 2)
|
|
|
|
|
/ (jostletimeout in whole seconds) qps per thread, about (1024/2)*5 = 2560
|
|
|
|
|
qps by default.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B delay\-close: \fI<msec>
|
|
|
|
|
Extra delay for timeouted UDP ports before they are closed, in msec.
|
|
|
|
|
Default is 0, and that disables it. This prevents very delayed answer
|
|
|
|
|
packets from the upstream (recursive) servers from bouncing against
|
|
|
|
|
closed ports and setting off all sort of close-port counters, with
|
|
|
|
|
eg. 1500 msec. When timeouts happen you need extra sockets, it checks
|
|
|
|
|
the ID and remote IP of packets, and unwanted packets are added to the
|
|
|
|
|
unwanted packet counter.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B so\-rcvbuf: \fI<number>
|
|
|
|
|
If not 0, then set the SO_RCVBUF socket option to get more buffer
|
|
|
|
|
space on UDP port 53 incoming queries. So that short spikes on busy
|
|
|
|
|
servers do not drop packets (see counter in netstat \-su). Default is
|
|
|
|
|
0 (use system value). Otherwise, the number of bytes to ask for, try
|
|
|
|
|
"4m" on a busy server. The OS caps it at a maximum, on linux unbound
|
|
|
|
|
needs root permission to bypass the limit, or the admin can use sysctl
|
|
|
|
|
net.core.rmem_max. On BSD change kern.ipc.maxsockbuf in /etc/sysctl.conf.
|
|
|
|
|
On OpenBSD change header and recompile kernel. On Solaris ndd \-set
|
|
|
|
|
/dev/udp udp_max_buf 8388608.

|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B so\-sndbuf: \fI<number>
|
|
|
|
|
If not 0, then set the SO_SNDBUF socket option to get more buffer space on
|
|
|
|
|
UDP port 53 outgoing queries. This for very busy servers handles spikes
|
|
|
|
|
in answer traffic, otherwise 'send: resource temporarily unavailable'
|
|
|
|
|
can get logged, the buffer overrun is also visible by netstat \-su.
|
|
|
|
|
Default is 0 (use system value). Specify the number of bytes to ask
|
|
|
|
|
for, try "4m" on a very busy server. The OS caps it at a maximum, on
|
|
|
|
|
linux unbound needs root permission to bypass the limit, or the admin
|
|
|
|

to so\-rcvbuf.

.B so\-reuseport: \fI<yes or no>
|
|
|
|
|
If yes, then open dedicated listening sockets for incoming queries for each
|
|
|
|
|
thread and try to set the SO_REUSEPORT socket option on each socket. May
|
|
|
|
|
distribute incoming queries to threads more evenly. Default is no. On Linux
|
|
|
|
|
it is supported in kernels >= 3.9. On other systems, FreeBSD, OSX it may
|
|
|
|
|
also work. You can enable it (on any platform and kernel),
|
|
|
|
|
it then attempts to open the port and passes the option if it was available
|
|
|
|
|
at compile time, if that works it is used, if it fails, it continues
|
|
|
|
|
silently (unless verbosity 3) without the option.

.B ip\-transparent: \fI<yes or no>
|
|
|
|
|
If yes, then use IP_TRANSPARENT socket option on sockets where unbound
|
|
|
|
|
is listening for incoming traffic. Default no. Allows you to bind to
|
|
|
|
|
non\-local interfaces. For example for non\-existant IP addresses that
|
|
|
|
|
are going to exist later on, with host failover configuration. This is
|
|
|
|
|
a lot like interface\-automatic, but that one services all interfaces
|
|
|
|
|
and with this option you can select which (future) interfaces unbound
|

provides service on. This option needs unbound to be started with root

The action \fIrefuse\fR stops queries too, but sends a DNS rcode REFUSED

error message back.

The action \fIallow\fR gives access to clients from that netblock.

It gives only access for recursion clients (which is
|
|
|
|
|
what almost all clients need). Nonrecursive queries are refused.

|
.IP
|
|
|
|
|
The \fIallow\fR action does allow nonrecursive queries to access the
|
|
|
|
|
local\-data that is configured. The reason is that this does not involve
|
|
|
|
|
the unbound server recursive lookup algorithm, and static data is served
|
|
|
|
|
in the reply. This supports normal operations where nonrecursive queries
|
|
|
|
|
are made for the authoritative data. For nonrecursive queries any replies
|
|
|
|
|
from the dynamic cache are refused.
|
|

.IP
|
|
|
|
|
The action \fIallow_snoop\fR gives nonrecursive access too. This give
|
|
|
|
|
both recursive and non recursive access. The name \fIallow_snoop\fR refers
|
|
|
|
|
to cache snooping, a technique to use nonrecursive queries to examine
|
|
|
|
|
the cache contents (for malicious acts). However, nonrecursive queries can
|
|
|
|
|
also be a valuable debugging tool (when you want to examine the cache
|
|
|
|
|
contents). In that case use \fIallow_snoop\fR for your administration host.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP
|
|
|
|
|
By default only localhost is \fIallow\fRed, the rest is \fIrefuse\fRd.
|
|
|
|
|
The default is \fIrefuse\fRd, because that is protocol\-friendly. The DNS
|
|
|
|
|
protocol is not designed to handle dropped packets due to policy, and
|
|
|
|
|
dropping may result in (possibly excessive) retried queries.

The deny_non_local and refuse_non_local settings are for hosts that are
|
|
|
|
|
only allowed to query for the authoritative local\-data, they are not
|
|
|
|
|
allowed full recursion but only the static data. With deny_non_local,
|
|
|
|

messages that are disallowed are dropped, with refuse_non_local they

receive error code REFUSED.

.B chroot: \fI<directory>
|
|
|
|

If chroot is enabled, you should pass the configfile (from the

|
|
|
|
commandline) as a full path from the original root. After the
|
|
|
|
|
chroot has been performed the now defunct portion of the config
|
|
|
|
|
file path is removed to be able to reread the config after a reload.

.IP
|
|
|
|
|
All other file paths (working dir, logfile, roothints, and
|
|
|
|
|
key files) can be specified in several ways:
|
|
|
|
|
as an absolute path relative to the new root,
|
|
|
|
|
as a relative path to the working directory, or
|
|
|
|
|
as an absolute path relative to the original root.
|
|
|
|
|
In the last case the path is adjusted to remove the unused portion.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP
|
|
|
|
|
The pidfile can be either a relative path to the working directory, or
|
|
|
|
|
an absolute path relative to the original root. It is written just prior
|
|
|
|
|
to chroot and dropping permissions. This allows the pidfile to be
|
|
|
|
|
/var/run/unbound.pid and the chroot to be /var/unbound, for example.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP
|
|
|

|
Additionally, unbound may need to access /dev/random (for entropy)
|
|
|
|
|
from inside the chroot.
|
|
|
|
|
.IP
|
|
|
|
|
If given a chroot is done to the given directory. The default is
|
|

"@UNBOUND_CHROOT_DIR@". If you give "" no chroot is performed.

.B username: \fI<name>
|
|

If given, after binding the port the user privileges are dropped. Default is

"@UNBOUND_USERNAME@". If you give username: "" no user change is performed.

|
|
.IP
|
|
|
|
|
If this user is not capable of binding the
|
|
|
|
|
port, reloads (by signal HUP) will still retain the opened ports.
|
|
|
|
|
If you change the port number in the config file, and that new port number
|
|
|
|
|
requires privileges, then a reload will fail; a restart is needed.

The number of values determines the maximum dependency depth

|
A value of \-1 means to fetch all targets opportunistically for that dependency

that many targets opportunistically.

the zone becomes bogus. If turned off, and no DNSSEC data is received

you are sometimes behind an intrusive firewall (of some sort) that

Harden the referral path by performing additional queries for

Default off, because it burdens the authority servers, and it is

bogus. This protects against so\-called DNS Rebinding, where a user browser

is turned into a network proxy, allowing remote access through the browser

to other parts of your private network. Some names can be allowed to

contain your private addresses, by default all the \fBlocal\-data\fR

that you configured is allowed to, and you can specify additional

size significantly, and may avoid TCP fallback for some responses.
|

This may cause a slight speedup. The default is no, because the DNS

be of use and save roundtrips for clients.

Setting this to "iterator" will result in a non\-validating server.

|
DNSKEY entries can be used in the file, in the same format as for
|
|
|
|
|
\fItrust\-anchor\-file:\fR statements. Only one DLV can be configured, more
|
|
|
|
|
would be slow. The DLV configured is used as a root trusted DLV, this

means that it is a lookaside for the root. Default is "", or no dlv anchor file.

Sets domain name to be insecure, DNSSEC chain of trust is ignored towards
|
|

the domain name. So a trust anchor above the domain name can not make the

|
domain secure with a DS record, such a DS record is then ignored.
|

Also keys from DLV are ignored for the domain. Can be given multiple times
|
|
|

|
to specify multiple domains that are treated as if unsigned. If you set

trust anchors for the domain they override this setting (and the domain

is secured).

This can be useful if you want to make sure a trust anchor for external

lookups does not affect an (unsigned) internal domain. A DS record

externally can create validation failures for that internal domain.

A value of 10% of the signature lifetime (expiration \- inception) is

|
used, capped by this setting. Default is 3600 (1 hour) which allows for

|
|
|
|
|
allows for timezone setting problems in stable domains. Setting both
|
|
|
|
|
min and max very low disables the clock skew allowances. Setting both

There may be multiple
|
|
|
|
|
.B stub\-zone:
|
|
|
|
|
clauses. Each with a name: and zero or more hostnames or IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
|
For the stub zone this list of nameservers is used. Class IN is assumed.
|
|
|
|
|
The servers should be authority servers, not recursors; unbound performs
|
|
|
|
|
the recursive processing itself for stub zones.
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
The stub zone can be used to configure authoritative data to be used
|
|
|
|
|
by the resolver that cannot be accessed using the public internet servers.
|
|
|
|
|
This is useful for company\-local data or private zones. Setup an
|
|
|
|
|
authoritative server on a different host (or different port). Enter a config
|
|
|
|
|
entry for unbound with
|
|
|
|
|
.B stub\-addr:
|
|
|
|
|
<ip address of host[@port]>.
|
|
|
|
|
The unbound resolver can then access the data, without referring to the
|
|
|
|
|
public internet for it.
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
This setup allows DNSSEC signed zones to be served by that
|
|
|
|
|
authoritative server, in which case a trusted key entry with the public key
|
|
|
|
|
can be put in config, so that unbound can validate the data and set the AD
|
|
|
|
|
bit on replies for the private zone (authoritative servers do not set the
|
|
|
|
|
AD bit). This setup makes unbound capable of answering queries for the
|
|
|
|
|
private zone, and can even set the AD bit ('authentic'), but the AA
|
|
|
|
|
('authoritative') bit is not set on these replies.
|
|
|
|
|
.TP
|

.B stub\-addr: \fI<IP address>
|
|

IP address of stub zone nameserver. Can be IP 4 or IP 6.

To use a nondefault port for DNS communication append '@' with the port number.

|
.TP
|
|
|
|
|
.B stub\-prime: \fI<yes or no>
|

This option is by default off. If enabled it performs NS set priming,
|
|
|
|
|
which is similar to root hints, where it starts using the list of nameservers
|
|
|
|
|
currently published by the zone. Thus, if the hint list is slightly outdated,
|
|
|
|
|
the resolver picks up a correct list online.

There may be multiple
|
|
|
|
|
.B forward\-zone:
|
|
|
|
|
clauses. Each with a \fBname:\fR and zero or more hostnames or IP
|
|
|
|
|
addresses. For the forward zone this list of nameservers is used to
|
|
|
|
|
forward the queries to. The servers listed as \fBforward\-host:\fR and
|
|
|
|
|
\fBforward\-addr:\fR have to handle further recursion for the query. Thus,
|
|
|
|
|
those servers are not authority servers, but are (just like unbound is)
|
|
|
|
|
recursive servers too; unbound does not perform recursion itself for the
|
|
|
|
|
forward zone, it lets the remote server do it. Class IN is assumed.
|
|
|
|
|
A forward\-zone entry with name "." and a forward\-addr target will
|
|
|
|
|
forward all queries to that other server (unless it can answer from
|
|
|
|
|
the cache).
|
|
|

.TP

To use a nondefault port for DNS communication append '@' with the port number.

|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.B python:
|
|
|
|
|
clause gives the settings for the \fIpython\fR(1) script module. This module
|
|
|
|
|
acts like the iterator and validator modules do, on queries and answers.
|
|
|
|
|
To enable the script module it has to be compiled into the daemon,
|
|
|
|
|
and the word "python" has to be put in the \fBmodule\-config:\fR option
|
|
|
|
|
(usually first, or between the validator and iterator).

.TP

.B python\-script: \fI<python file>\fR

.LP
|

The dns64 module must be configured in the \fBmodule\-config:\fR "dns64
|
|
|
|
|
validator iterator" directive and be compiled into the daemon to be
|
|
|
|
|
enabled. These settings go in the \fBserver:\fR section.

|
|
|
.TP
|
|
|

.B dns64\-prefix: \fI<IPv6 prefix>\fR
|
|
|

This sets the DNS64 prefix to use to synthesize AAAA records with.
|
|
|

It must be /96 or shorter. The default prefix is 64:ff9b::/96.
|

.TP

.B dns64\-synthall: \fI<yes or no>\fR

Debug option, default no. If enabled, synthesize all AAAA records
|
|
|
|
|
despite the presence of actual AAAA records.

.SH "MEMORY CONTROL EXAMPLE"
|
|
|
|
|
In the example config settings below memory usage is reduced. Some service
|
|
|
|
|
levels are lower, notable very large data and a high TCP load are no longer
|
|
|
|
|
supported. Very large data and high TCP loads are exceptional for the DNS.
|
|
|
|
|
DNSSEC validation is enabled, just add trust anchors.
|
|
|
|
|
If you do not have to worry about programs using more than 3 Mb of memory,
|
|
|
|
|
the below example is not for you. Use the defaults to receive full service,
|
|
|
|
|
which on BSD\-32bit tops out at 30\-40 Mb after heavy usage.
