Maybe it's a silly question but here it goes. Where can I find NSD4?
I would like to give it a test drive. Thank you.

Hi Pavel,
man nsd-control.
nsd-control -h for a summary.
man nsd.conf (for patterns, remote-control).
nsd.conf.sample for samples.
note that nsd.db changes file format from NSD3 to NSD4.
the nsd process needs to write to zonelistfile: "/var/db/nsd/zone.list"
this is where it stores the list of zones between restarts.
Generate the keys it needs and run
$ nsd-control-setup
and enable it in nsd.conf with
control-enable: yes
then define a pattern in the nsd.conf (much like a zone, but starts
with pattern: and applies to a group of zones), e.g.
name: "master"
zonefile: "master/%s.zone".
The config file is backwards compatible for zone statements, you can
have 'hardcoded' zones in there in the old syntax.
then
$ nsd-control addzone example.com master
then you forgot to edit master/example.com.zone, and need to do
$ nsd-control reload example.com
(or just "reload" that checks modification times on all zonefiles).
$ nsd-control delzone example.com
zonec does not exist in NSD4 (part of the daemon, just 'reload' after
changing the file). nsdc is gone. This milestone (perhaps no longer
needed for the final version, I am working on this now :-) ) needs rm
/var/db/nsd/ixfr.db as daily cronjob instead of nsdc patch. And
nsd-control write if you want to also have the zonefiles written for
slave zones.
Best regards,
Wouter
Post by Pavel CiocanHi Olaf,
Thank you for your answer and sorry for my late reply. I saw your
reply on Peter's question and i might actually start using this
last snapshot on one of our nameservers and will monitor it to see
how it works. It should be a good test because we get between 40
and 50 millions queries in 24 hours on each of our name servers and
have a relatively big number of domains served. What prevented us
from using NSD 3 is that it needs to be restarted when
adding/removing zones and adding/removing zones happens relatively
often on our nameservers. Where can i find the docs on how to
add/remove zones on the fly?
Thank you, Pavel
Post by Olaf KolkmanPost by Pavel CiocanHello,
Does anybody know when NSD 4.0 will be released?
Hello Pavel,
We are currently shifting priorities in order to crank up the
work on NSD4.0 it is not very likely that you will see a
production release before end of year, albeit not impossible
either.
During the development process working snapshots (working, but
with limited functionality) will be published in SVN (See
http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/svn/nsd/tags/ ). Obviously these
snapshots are for the daring among you who want to help us test
in real world environments.
Currently we are at snapshot 5. Now that might not mean a lot but
* Performance increase with radixtree and more optimal
compilation. * UDB on disk, removal of zonec. This means using
editable disk database with mmap. * NSEC3 prehash incremental *
Patterns, new config file structures to manage many zones *
Control, SSL remote control: output statistics, force zone
transfer, add and remove zones.
The above is a cut-n-paste from internal notes and may not mean
very much. However, while maintaining the (stable) NSD3 query
logic we improved performance and added features that folk have
been waiting for: Addition and removal of zones without the need
of a restart.
If you are daring to run the snapshot we appreciate any feedback you may have.
Keep you posted,
--Olaf
