Subject: 9.11.1 - BIND 9.11.1-P3 : Recursion available (RA) bit set to 0 in BIND 9.11.1 P3 for updates

Bug Report from www.isc.org: Name: Apoorva Maheshwari Email: apoorva.maheshwar@ericsson.com Software Version: 9.11.1 OS: solaris/linux Subject:BIND 9.11.1-P3 : Recursion available (RA) bit set to 0 in BIND 9.11.1 P3 for updates Bug Detail =========== Hello BIND developers, We have dropped a mail on 9th Aug to info@isc.org, still waiting for your response. Please respond on our mail and add my mail id (apoorva.maheshwari@ericsson.com). quick response will be appreciated. We have upgraded from BIND version 9.11.0 to 9.11.1-P3 and observed that Recursion available (RA) bit is set to 0 in case of update response. This bit was set to "1" when using earlier version of BIND (9.11.0) by default. Steps to reproduce : 1. Updated BIND version from 9.11.0 to 9.11.1-P3. 2. Executed nsupdate command: nsupdate > server 127.0.0.1 > zone 9.msisdn.sub.cs > update add 9876544.9.msisdn.sub.cs 300 CNAME SDP1.cs > send 3. Verify the TCP dump for the response received from BIND. The RA bit is set to '0'. This bit was set as '1' in BIND 9.11.0 Note : 1. We tried adding "allow-recursion" in option block in named.conf, but RA bit was still set to 0 options { ... allow-recursion { any; }; 2. The behavior is same for Bind version 9.11.2 as well. Recursion available (RA) bit is set to 0 in case of updates. Attaching here with the tcp dump as well as the snapshots. Is this something which have been introduced now ? Or is it a bug ? --- This email was received through isc.org Bug Submission Form

RD, RA and CD really only make sense when the opcode is QUERY. The change in behaviour was noted in CHANGES. 4534. [bug] Only set RD, RA and CD in QUERY responses. [RT #43879] In theory one could extend UPDATE to recurse where the UPDATE message is forwarded by a recursive server to the servers for the zone in which case RD and RA would have meaning. The same would apply to any other future opcode. -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: marka@isc.org
