Copyright (C) Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. ("ISC") See COPYRIGHT in the source root or http://isc.org/copyright.html for terms. BIND 9 is striving for strict compliance with IETF standards. We believe this release of BIND 9 complies with the following RFCs, with the caveats and exceptions listed in the numbered notes below. Note that a number of these RFCs do not have the status of Internet standards but are proposed or draft standards, experimental RFCs, or Best Current Practice (BCP) documents. The list is non exhaustive.

This is considered a feature. [2] CLASS ANY queries are not supported. This is considered a feature. [3] Wildcard records are not supported in DNSSEC secure zones. [4] Servers authoritative for secure zones being resolved by BIND 9 must support EDNS0 (RFC2671), and must return all relevant SIGs and NXTs in responses rather than relying on the resolving server to perform separate queries for missing SIGs and NXTs. [5] When receiving a query signed with a SIG(0), the server will only be able to verify the signature if it has the key in its local authoritative data; it will not do recursion or validation to retrieve unknown keys. [6] Section 4 is ignored. [7] Requires --with-idn to enable entry of IDN labels within dig, host and nslookup at compile time. ACE labels are supported everywhere with or without --with-idn. [8] Section 5.1 - DNAME records are fully supported. [9] Minimally Covering NSEC Record are accepted but not generated. [10] Will interoperate with correctly designed experiments. [11] Named only uses ports to extend the id space, address are not used. [12] Section 5.5 does not match reality. Named uses the presence of DO=1 to detect if validation may be occuring. CD has no bearing on whether validation is occuring or not. [13] Conditional on the OpenSSL library being linked against supporting ECDSA. [14] Section 5.9 - Always set CD=1 on queries. This is *not* done as it prevents DNSSEC working correctly through another recursive server. When talking to a recurive server the best algorithm to do is send CD=0 and then send CD=1 iff SERVFAIL is returned in case the recurive server has a bad clock and/or bad trust anchor. Alternatively one can send CD=1 then CD=0 on validation failure in case the recursive server is under attack or there is stale / bogus authoritative data. [15] Named doesn't currently encrypt DNS requests so the PAD option is accepted but not returned in responses. [16] Only the Base 64 encoding specification. [17] Not applicable to DNS server implementations. [18] Loading and serving of A6 records only. A6 records were moved to the experimental category by RFC3363. [19] RSAMD5 support has been removed. See RFC 6944. [20] Updating of parent zones is not yet implemented.
