allow-query.

Hi,

I am using nsd as my authority-only dns servers and find it fast, stable, reliable - all of the design goals you set out for, great.

I have a zone that is intended only to be visible to people on my network. In bind I would enforce this with an 'allow-query' configuration directive.

I checked the latest 'nsd-for-bind-users' document, and 'allow-query' is not listed as one of the options which will not be configurable in nsd, but there is no documentation detailing how to configure such a zone. Can someone help ?

I wrote a plugin for NSD long long ago, to add ACL's, but it
would almost certainly need modification to work now. You can
find it attached to this mail;

and I followed up with a different patch then;

Hi, Colm

This is brilliant, perfect. I will try it out tomorrow. If there's a 'vote' system for incorporating features into the mainline distribution, I would like to ask for this to be incorporated.

Best wishes
Andy

One of the design goals of nsd is also to keep it small and not to
put too much functions in it which can be achieved in othyer ways.
For access lists it was decided that hosts_access(5) and associated
library would give the needed functionality.

Hi Colm,

Note that the plugin architecture has been removed in NSD 3, to use the
plugin you have to use it with one of the NSD2 releases. At the time, no
plugins were known or googlable.

Best regards,
