file

file enables serving zone data from a RFC-1035 styled file.

The file middleware is used for "old-style" DNS server. It serves from a preloaded file that exists on disk.

Syntax

file dbfile [zones...]

• dbfile the database file to read and parse.
• zones zones it should be authoritative for. If empty the zones from the configuration block are used.

If you want to round robin A and AAAA responses look at the loadbalance middleware.

TSIG key configuration is TODO; directive format for transfer will probably be extended with TSIG key information, something like transfer out [address...] key [name] [base64]

file dbfile [zones... ] {
    transfer from [address...]
    transfer to [address...]
    no_reload
}

• transfer enables zone transfers. It may be specified multiples times. To or from signals the direction. Addresses must be denoted in CIDR notation (127.0.0.1/32 etc.) or just as plain address. The special wildcard "*" means: the entire internet (only valid for 'transfer to').
• no_reload by default CoreDNS will reload a zone from disk whenever it detects a change to the file. This option disables that behavior.

Examples

Load the miek.nl zone from miek.nl.signed and allow transfers to the internet.

file miek.nl.signed miek.nl {
    transfer to *
}

Constants

const MaxSerialIncrement uint32 = 2147483647

The maximum difference between two serial numbers. If the difference between two serials is greater than this number, the smaller one is considered greater.

	StartupOnce  sync.Once
	TransferFrom []string
	Expired      *bool

	NoReload bool
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func NewZone

func NewZone(name, file string) *Zone

NewZone returns a new zone.

func Parse

func Parse(f io.Reader, origin, fileName string) (*Zone, error)

Parse parses the zone in filename and returns a new Zone or an error.

func (*Zone) All

func (z *Zone) All() []dns.RR

All returns all records from the zone, the first record will be the SOA record, otionally followed by all RRSIG(SOA)s.

Example

zone, err := Parse(strings.NewReader(dbMiekNL), testzone, "stdin")
if err != nil {
	return
}
records := zone.All()
for _, r := range records {
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", r)
}
// Output

func (*Zone) ClosestEncloser

func (z *Zone) ClosestEncloser(qname string, qtype uint16) string

ClosestEncloser returns the closest encloser for rr.

func (*Zone) Copy

func (z *Zone) Copy() *Zone

Copy copies a zone *without* copying the zone's content. It is not a deep copy.

func (*Zone) Delete

func (z *Zone) Delete(r dns.RR)

Delete deletes r from z.

func (*Zone) Insert

func (z *Zone) Insert(r dns.RR) error

Insert inserts r into z.

func (*Zone) Lookup

func (z *Zone) Lookup(qname string, qtype uint16, do bool) ([]dns.RR, []dns.RR, []dns.RR, Result)

Lookup looks up qname and qtype in the zone. When do is true DNSSEC records are included. Three sets of records are returned, one for the answer, one for authority and one for the additional section.

func (*Zone) Notify

func (z *Zone) Notify()

Notify will send notifies to all configured TransferTo IP addresses.

func (*Zone) Reload

func (z *Zone) Reload(shutdown chan bool) error

func (*Zone) TransferAllowed

func (z *Zone) TransferAllowed(state middleware.State) bool

TransferAllowed checks if incoming request for transferring the zone is allowed according to the ACLs.

func (*Zone) TransferIn

func (z *Zone) TransferIn() error

TransferIn retrieves the zone from the masters, parses it and sets it live.

func (*Zone) Update

func (z *Zone) Update() error

Update updates the secondary zone according to its SOA. It will run for the life time of the server and uses the SOA parameters. Every refresh it will check for a new SOA number. If that fails (for all server) it wil retry every retry interval. If the zone failed to transfer before the expire, the zone will be marked expired.

type Zones

type Zones struct {
	Z     map[string]*Zone
	Names []string
