GDNSD.DJBDNS(5)                      gdnsd                     GDNSD.DJBDNS(5)


NAME

       gdnsd.djbdns - gdnsd support for the djbdns tinydns zone data format


SYNOPSIS

         /usr/local/etc/gdnsd/djbdns/my-djbdns-datafile:
           Zexample.com:a.ns.example.com:hostmaster.example.com::::::86400
           &example.com:192.0.2.1:a.ns.example.com.:86400
           &example.com:192.0.2.2:b.ns.example.com.:86400
           =foo.example.com:192.0.2.100:86400


DESCRIPTION

       This zone data backend implements the tinydns format described in
       <http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/tinydns-data.html>.

       As of this writing, djbdns file format support is considered
       EXPERIMENTAL.  Feel free to submit issues and/or pull requests to make
       the implementation and documentation more correct and complete!  There
       are probably many legal djbdns zone datasets that do not load correctly
       (or at all) yet.  However, there are users loading data from this in
       production.

       The djbdns zone data backend loads all files found within the djbdns
       subdirectory of the daemon config directory, default
       /usr/local/etc/gdnsd/djbdns/.  Each file can contain multiple zones
       (identified by "Z" records).

       At this time, unlike the RFC1035 zone data backend, the djbdns backend
       does not support automatic reloading of updates based on filesystem
       notification.  It only explicitly reloads any changed data on "SIGUSR1"
       / "gdnsd reload-zones".


SUPPORTED RECORD TYPES

       The following record types are implemented in the parser:

       Z - SOA
           The "Z" type denotes the existence of a zone and defines its SOA-
           record.  All records within a file must be contained within a zone
           defined by a "Z" entry.

       & - NS (+ A)
           Implemented.

       . - NS + SOA (+ A)
           The "." type is meant to create an SOA along with the zone's NS
           records.  At this time, gdnsd doesn't support this record for
           defining the SOA or a zone's existence, and treats it just like "&"
           above.

       @ - MX (+ A)
           Implemented.

       * - A
           If the 5th field is "~~", this can be used to create "DYNA" records
           as well, with the "plugin!resource" part in the 2nd field.

       = - A + PTR
           The autogeneration of PTR records for "=" is not implemented yet,
           so this is treated identically to "+" above.

       C - CNAME
           If the 5th field is "~~", this can be used to create "DYNC" records
           as well, with the "plugin!resource" part in the 2nd field.

       \ - TXT
           Implemented.

       S - SRV
           Implemented.

       N - NAPTR
           Implemented.

       3 - AAAA
           Not yet implemented.

       6 - AAAA + PTR
           Not yet implemented.

       ^ - PTR
           Not yet implemented.

       : - Raw
           Not yet implemented.
