If no additional record is associated to a SRV record, its TTL must not be
renewed. Otherwise the entry never expires. Thus once announced a first
time, the entry remains blocked on the same IP/port except if a new announce
replaces the old one.
Now, the TTL is updated if a SRV record is received while a matching
existing one is found with an additional record or when an new additional
record is assigned to an existing SRV record.
This patch should be backported as far as 2.2.
At the end of resolv_validate_dns_response(), if a received additionnal
record is not assigned to an existing server record, it is released. But the
condition to do so is buggy. If "answer_record" (the received AR) is not
assigned, "tmp_record" is not a valid record object. It is just a dummy
record "representing" the head of the record list.
Now, the condition is far cleaner. This patch must be backported as far as
2.2.
This patch introduce the new line "server" to set a TCP
nameserver in a "resolvers" section:
server <name> <address> [param*]
Used to configure a DNS TCP or stream server. This supports for all
"server" parameters found in 5.2 paragraph. Some of these parameters
are irrelevant for DNS resolving. Note: currently 4 queries are pipelined
on the same connections. A batch of idle connections are removed every
5 seconds. "maxconn" can be configured to limit the amount of those
concurrent connections and TLS should also usable if the server supports
. The current implementation limits to 4 pipelined
The name of the line in configuration is open to discussion
and could be changed before the next release.
This patch splits current dns.c into two files:
The first dns.c contains code related to DNS message exchange over UDP
and in future other TCP. We try to remove depencies to resolving
to make it usable by other stuff as DNS load balancing.
The new resolvers.c inherit of the code specific to the actual
resolvers.
Note:
It was really difficult to obtain a clean diff dur to the amount
of moved code.
Note2:
Counters and stuff related to stats is not cleany separated because
currently counters for both layers are merged and hard to separate
for now.
