Forwarder setup

Configuration of common resolver softwares to forward DNS queries for .dn42 (and reverse DNS) IPv4 and IPv6 anycast services.

BIND

If you already run a local DNS server, you can tell it to query the dn42 anycast servers for the relevant domains by adding the following to /etc/bind/named.conf.local

zone "dn42" {
  type forward;
  forwarders { 172.23.0.53; };
};
zone "20.172.in-addr.arpa" {
  type forward;
  forwarders { 172.23.0.53; };
};
zone "22.172.in-addr.arpa" {
  type forward;
  forwarders { 172.23.0.53; };
};
zone "23.172.in-addr.arpa" {
  type forward;
  forwarders { 172.23.0.53; };
};

Note: With DNSSEC enabled, bind might refuse to accept query results from the dn42 zone: validating dn42/SOA: got insecure response; parent indicates it should be secure.

dnsmasq

If you are running dnsmasq under openwrt, you just have to add

config dnsmasq
        option boguspriv '0'
        option rebind_protection '1'
        list rebind_domain 'dn42'
        list server '/dn42/172.23.0.53'
        list server '/20.172.in-addr.arpa/172.23.0.53'
        list server '/22.172.in-addr.arpa/172.23.0.53'
        list server '/23.172.in-addr.arpa/172.23.0.53'

to /etc/config/dhcp and run /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart. After that you are able to resolve .dn42 with the anycast DNS-Server, while your normal requests go to your standard DNS-resolver.

Attention: If you go with the default config you'll have to disable "boguspriv" in the first dnsmasq config section.

For normal dnsmasq use

server=/dn42/172.23.0.53
server=/20.172.in-addr.arpa/172.23.0.53
server=/22.172.in-addr.arpa/172.23.0.53
server=/23.172.in-addr.arpa/172.23.0.53

in dnsmasq.conf.

PowerDNS recursor

Add this to /etc/powerdns/recursor.conf (at least in Debian and CentOS), the forward-zone-recurse is one line.

MaraDNS

Put this in your mararc:

ipv4_alias["dn42_root"] = "172.23.0.53"
root_servers["dn42."] = "dn42_root"
root_servers["20.172.in-addr.arpa."] = "dn42_root"
root_servers["22.172.in-addr.arpa."] = "dn42_root"
root_servers["23.172.in-addr.arpa."] = "dn42_root"

JunOS (SRX 12.1X46)

Should also work in 12.1X44 and 12.1X45. After making the changes below you may need to run:

restart named-service

Config (vlan.0 is presumed to be your LAN/Trust interface)

system {
   services {
      dns {
         dns-proxy {
            interface {

MS DNS

Add a "Conditional Forward" (de: "Bedingte Weiterleitung") for each of "dn42", "20.172.in-addr.arpa", "22.172.in-addr.arpa", "23.172.in-addr.arpa" using 172.23.0.53 as forwarder. Ignore the error message that the server is not authoritative.
