nsd serving localhost

NSD
1

Hi,

I just installed nsd 1.2.2, and found that it choked on the following zone file when parsing it as an IPv6 zone file, complaining about out-of-zone data on line 2:

@ IN SOA ns.oryx.com. hostmaster.oryx.com. (
                 2003091600 10800 3600 2592000 86400 )

1 IN PTR localhost.

Using it only under IPv4 worked. What I'm now using is this:

zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa p/localhost-reverse
;zone 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.int p/localhost-reverse
;zone 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa p/localhost-reverse

A bug, or have I miscounted the zeroes or something?

The thing also choked on my lovely IN ISDN RRs. I fixed that by deleting them. Perhaps the set of supported RRs should be specified in the man page.

Overall, looks great.

could you try this with zonec2 from nsd 1.3.0 alpha?

page.

nsd 1.2 does not support ISDN rr's. We're going to switch to a new parser in nsd
1.3. You can check the supported rr's in zyparser.y line 204 (for nsd 1.3). It's
yacc code, which should be rather readable.
