Bind9 Backend
=============
This page documents using the Pool Manager Bind 9 backend.
The backend uses the rndc utility to create and delete zones remotely.
The traffic between rndc and Bind is authenticated with a key.
Designate Configuration
-----------------------
Example configuration required for Bind9 operation. One section for each pool target
.. code-block:: ini
[pool_target:f26e0b32-736f-4f0a-831b-039a415c481e]
options = rndc_host: 192.168.27.100, rndc_port: 953, rndc_config_file: /etc/bind/rndc.conf, rndc_key_file: /etc/bind/rndc.key, port: 53, host: 192.168.27.100, clean_zonefile: false
masters = 192.168.27.100:5354
type = bind9
The key and config files are relative to the host running Pool Manager (and can
be different from the hosts running Bind)
Bind9 Configuration
-------------------
Ensure Bind can access the /etc/bind/rndc.conf and /etc/bind/rndc.key files and
receive rndc traffic from Pool Manager.
Enable rndc addzone/delzone functionality by editing named.conf.options or named.conf and add this line under options
.. code-block:: c
allow-new-zones yes;
Example configuration of /etc/bind/rndc.key
.. code-block:: c
key "rndc-key" {
algorithm hmac-md5;
secret "<b64-encoded string>";
};
