[dns-wg] Query on Resolver w.r.t DNSSEC

["Natarajan,Ganesh" <]

 

Hi ,

            I am Ganesh and I work for wipro. We are currently working on porting DNS BIND 4.8

to DNS BIND 9.2.3. My platform is HP-Nonstop servers. I have a specific query regarding the

role of resolver library in DNSSEC.

 

Query:

Does DNS BIND 9.2.3 support caching and verification of RRs (resourse records)

 on the resolver library part by default?

 

We are trying to port 4.8 resolver code to 9.2.3 resolver code. Since Our platfrom doesn't

support OPenssl, we are trying to lookout for this option. we wanted to know,

whether by default any authentication is enabled at the resolver part in BIND 9.2.3.

We understand that RFC2535 states CD and AD bit. If CD bit is set, then resolver

doesn't do auth and integrity tests. Is this CD bit disabled or enabled in BIND 9.2.3?

 

To reiterate the whole question again, we wanted to know the role of resolver with respect

to DNSSEC in BIND 9.2.3!

 

Since, we are pretty new to DNSSEC, we need your valuable inputs on the above query.

 

 

regards,

Ganesh.
