====== Virtualmin - DNS ======

:!: Use ''dig +trace'' for more query details.

===== Slave DNS =====

http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/dns/slave-configuration

:!: Make sure ports 10000:10010 are open between the two DNS servers.

:!: Without Virtualmin, a slave domain can be created on the slave server using the Webmin BIND DNS Server module on the slave server to ''Create a new slave zone''.

**With a Virtualmin primary DNS server**, create slave DNS zones on Virtualmin slave servers:

:!: You would use this command if your primary zone is configured and working, but no slave configuration exists...possibly after a virtual server transfer.

<file>
virtualmin modify-dns --all-domains | --domain <yourdomain.tld> --add-all-slaves
</file>

Initiate a transfer **at the slave server** and check the log (may be ''messages'' or ''syslog''):

<file>
rndc retransfer yourdomain.tld

tail -200 /var/log/syslog
</file>

This command performs a test zone transfer **at the slave server** CLI:

<file>
dig domain.tld. axfr @ns.dnsdomain.tld
</file>

===== Firewall =====

BIND's default behavior is to use whichever network interface the route to the destination points out and a random, unprivileged port.

**Test** for random source ports:

<file>
dig +short porttest.dns-oarc.net TXT
</file>

**Force source port** to 53:

:!: This is old methodology and **will** cause problems with some mail servers.

<file>
vim /etc/bind/named.conf.options

        // Limit the outbound source port to get through outgoing firewall
        query-source address * port 53;
</file>

To **allow outbound DNS lookups through a CSF firewall**, with random source ports, append a line:

<file>
vim /etc/csf/csf.allow

udp|out|d=53|| # Outbound DNS query with random source port
</file>

===== CLI =====

Set all domains to TTL value:

<file>
virtualmin modify-dns --all-domains --ttl 400
</file>

Enable or Disable DNSSEC on all domains:

<file>
virtualmin modify-dns --all-domains --disable-dnssec
virtualmin modify-dns --all-domains --enable-dnssec
</file>

:!: The 'dots' at the end of host and domain names are important.

Remove all NS records, then re-add new ones:

<file>
virtualmin modify-dns --domain xyz.tld --remove-record "xyz.tld. NS"
virtualmin modify-dns --domain xyz.tld --add-record "xyz.tld. NS ns1.dnsdomain.tld."
virtualmin modify-dns --domain xyz.tld --add-record "xyz.tld. NS ns2.dnsdomain.tld."
</file>

List all name servers for all domains:

<file>
for dom in $(virtualmin list-domains --with-feature dns --name-only); do host -t ns $dom; done |sort
</file>

Replace name server (NS) records for all domains:

<file>
for dom in $(virtualmin list-domains --with-feature dns --name-only); do
virtualmin modify-dns --domain $dom --remove-record "$dom. NS"
virtualmin modify-dns --domain $dom --add-record "$dom. NS ns1.dnsdomain.tld."
virtualmin modify-dns --domain $dom --add-record "$dom. NS ns2.dnsdomain.tld."
done
</file>

Set all SPF records to 'discourage' (''~all''):

<file>
virtualmin modify-dns --all-domains --spf-all-discourage
</file>

===== SOA Record =====

==== Serial Number Format ====

**Webmin -> Servers -> BIND DNS Server -> Module Config -> Zone File Options -> Serial number style -> Date based**

==== Default E-Mail Address ====

**Webmin -> Servers -> Bind DNS Server -> Zone Defaults -> Default email address**

==== Master DNS Host Name ====

**Virtualmin -> System Settings -> Server Templates -> Default -> BIND DNS Domain -> Master DNS server hostname**

===== Recursion =====

**Webmin -> Servers -> BIND DNS Server -> Addresses and Topology -> Allow recursive queries from Listed -> localhost and localnets**

Limit recursive lookups by editing ''/etc/bind/named.conf.options'' to include:

<file>
allow-recursion {
        localnets;
        localhost;
        };
</file>

===== DNSSEC =====

==== Enable DNSSEC ====

**Webmin -> Servers -> BIND DNS Server -> DNSSEC Verification ->**

  * **DNSSEC enabled?** Yes
  * **DNSSEC response validation enabled?** Yes (automatic mode)

**Webmin -> Servers -> BIND DNS Server -> DNSSEC Key Re-Signing ->**

  * **Automatic key re-signing enabled?** Yes
  * **Period between re-signs?** 21 days

==== For Newly Created Domains ====

:!: Virtualmin will add DNSSEC records automatically to new domains as they are created.

**Virtualmin -> System Settings -> Server Tempates -> Default Settings -> BIND DNS domain ->**

  * **Create DNSSEC key and sign new domains?** Yes
  * **DNSSEC cryptographic algorithm** RSASHA1
  * **Number of DNSSEC keys** Zone key and key-signing key 

==== For Existing Domains ====

**Webmin -> Servers -> BIND DNS Server -> <Zone to Modify> -> Setup DNSSEC Key**

  * **Key algorithm** RSASHA1
  * **Key size** Average size
  * **Number of keys to create** Zone key and key-signing key
  * **Create and Add Key**
  * **Apply Zone**

:!: You can also remove, then recreate the key.

==== Examine DNSSEC Records ====

**Virtualmin -> <Domain/Zone> -> Server Configuration ->**

  * **DNS Options** 
    * You can see **DNSSEC zone keys** and registrar **DS records** here
  * **DNS Records -> Manually Edit**
    * You can see DNSSEC records here

**Force Virtualmin to regenerate all records**, if necessary:

**Virtualmin -> <Domain/Zone> -> Server Configuration -> DNS Options -> Save** 

==== Testing DNSSEC ====

http://dnssec-debugger.verisignlabs.com

==== Delegation Signer (DS) Records ====

DS records complete the chain of trust for your DNSSEC signed domains.

:!: You configure DS records at your Domain Name Registrar.

You can also get the information you need at one of these locations:

<file>
cat /var/named/dsset-yourdomain.tld.
cat /var/lib/bind/dsset-yourdomain.tld.
</file>

^Algorithm ^Name               ^
|3         |DSA/SHA1           |
|5         |RSA/SHA1           |
|6         |DSA-NSEC3-SHA1     |
|7         |RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 |
|8         |RSA/SHA-256        |
|9         |RSA/SHA-512        |

^Digest Type ^Name    ^
|1           |SHA-1   |
|2           |SHA-256 |

Enter:

  * **Keytag** (keyid)
    * A number between 0 and 65535
    * The **fourth field** in ''dsset-yourdomain.tld''
  * **Algorithm**
    * Probably RSA-SHA1
    * The **fifth field** in ''dsset-yourdomain.tld''
    * ''5'' = ''RSA-SHA1''
  * **Digest Type**
    * ''1'' = **40-bit** digest
    * ''2'' = **64-bit** digest
    * The **sixth field** in ''dsset-yourdomain.tld''
  * **Digest**
    * The **last field** in ''dsset-yourdomain.tld''
    * Remove the space when entering the 64-bit digest
