Change in GoDaddy DNS servers seems to break

Unbound
1

Hi,

I have 'use-caps-for-id' set to 'yes' in my private local Unbound DNS
server for about 2 years now. I noticed about 4 days ago that all
domains that are hosted on domaincontrol.com. DNS servers (GoDaddy)
returned a SRVFAIL.

Further investigation revealed that the DNS servers now always send back
the domain name in the answer as lowercase, no matter what the casing in
the request was:

Example:

dig WiMp.com @ns03.domaincontrol.com.

; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> WiMp.com @ns03.domaincontrol.com.
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 5762
;; flags: qr aa; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
wimp.com. 3600 IN A 208.43.68.142

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
wimp.com. 3600 IN NS ns03.domaincontrol.com.
wimp.com. 3600 IN NS ns04.domaincontrol.com.

;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 94

Because of the huge number of domains affected, that makes
'use-caps-for-id' almost useless.

Does anyone know what new DNS server software is used at GoDaddy? Anyone
seeing the same issue?

fpdns thinks it is ATLAS:

fpdns ns03.domaincontrol.com

fingerprint (ns03.domaincontrol.com, 216.69.185.2): ATLAS

fpdns ns04.domaincontrol.com

fingerprint (ns04.domaincontrol.com, 208.109.255.2): ATLAS

I don't know what they are using, but it isn't ATLAS. For one thing, ATLAS doesn't have this problem...

But ATLAS does not share this behavior (obviously 8-).

It's broken in other ways, too. It seems to process queries as ASCII
internally.

excellent, time to update fpdns to recognise the difference using this test :slight_smile:
