Overview

Manage the installation and configuration of knot and nsd installations. Also allows for managing master -> slave relations via exported resources.

Module Description

This module acts as an interface to icann-nsd and icann-knot to allow the same config yto manage both servers and ease switch between the two daemons. It can also use exportedconcat resources to manage master slave relationships

Setup

What dns affects

  • installs and manages icann-knot
  • installs and manages icann-nsd
  • dynamicly sets processor count based on installed processes
  • Optionaly install zonecheck python library and associated cron job. (if thier is a problem with dns a custom fact is created which can be used by other modules, see icann-quagga)

Setup Requirements

  • puppetlabs-stdlib 4.12.0
  • puppetlabs-concat 1.2.0
  • icann-knot 0.2.0
  • icann-nsd 0.2.0
  • icann-tea 0.2.8
  • stankevich-python 1.15.0

Beginning with dns

install either a dns daemon, which one depends on OS:

class { '::dns': }

Force a specific daemon and disable zonecheck

class { '::dns':
  daemon => 'knot',
  enable_zonecheck => false,
}

and in hiera

dns::daemon: knot
dns::enable_zonecheck: false

Usage

Basic Config

Add config with primary tsig key

class {'::dns':
  default_tsig_name: 'test',
  tsigs => {
    'test',=>  {
      'algo' => 'hmac-sha256',
      'data' => 'adsasdasdasd='
    }
  }
}

or with hiera

nsd::default_tsig_name: test
nsd::tsigs:
  test:
    algo: hmac-sha256
    data: adsasdasdasd=

add zone files. zone files are added with sets of common config.

class {'::nsd':
  remotes => {
    master_v4 => { 'address4' => '192.0.2.1' },
    master_v6 => { 'address6' => '2001:DB8::1' },
    slave     => { 'address4' => '192.0.2.2' },
  }
  zones => {
    'example.com' => {
      'masters' => ['master_v4', 'master_v6']
      'provide_xfrs'  => ['slave'],
    },
    'example.net' => {
      'masters' => ['master_v4', 'master_v6']
      'provide_xfrs'  => ['slave'],
    }
    'example.org' => {
      'masters' => ['master_v4', 'master_v6']
      'provide_xfrs'  => ['slave'],
    }
  }
}

in hiera

nsd::remotes:
  master_v4:
    address4: 192.0.2.1
  master_v6:
    address4: 2001:DB8::1
  slave:
    address4: 192.0.2.2
nsd::zones:
  example.com:
    masters: &id001
    - master_v4
    - master_v6
    provide_xfrs: &id002
    - slave
  example.net:
    masters: *id001
    slave: *id002
  example.org:
    masters: *id001
    slave: *id002

create and as112 server

class {'::nsd::as112': }

Master Slave Config

This module makes exports dns::tsig and dns::remote objects from one set of servers and imports them into another set of servers to allow you to configure master slave relations

The parameters dns::imports and dns::exports are used to create pairs. if one server has dns::exports = ['test'] then a master server would import this config by including dns::imports = ['test']. The way that the importing and exporting works in the nsd and knot modules assumes you are running a monolithic install. Other puppet configuerations will need some effort to get working.

Simple master server example

The following is an example where we have one server pull the root zones from xfr.dns.icann.org and then distributes the zones to a second layer of dns servers that use tsig keys, note the TSIG key was created specificly for this example it should not be used in a production environment. the following examples will use hiera for config

Distributions server

Assume the ip address of this server is 192.0.2.1

include dns
dns::imports: ['rootserver']
dns::remotes:
  lax.xfr.dns.icann.org:
    address4: 192.0.32.132
    address6: 2620:0:2d0:202::132
  iad.xfr.dns.icann.org:
    address4: 192.0.47.132
    address6: 2620:0:2830:202::132
dns::default_masters:
- lax.xfr.dns.icann.org
- iad.xfr.dns.icann.org
dns::zones:
  '.':
    zonefile: root
  'arpa.': {}
  'root-servers.net.': {}
Edge server

dns::exports: ['rootserver'] dns::tsigs: edge_tsig: data: 'qneKJvaiXqVrfrS4v+Oi/9GpLqrkhSGLTCZkf0dyKZ0=' dns::remotes: distribution_server: address4: 192.0.2.1 dns::default_masters:

  • distribution_server dns::zones: '.': zonefile: root 'arpa.': {} 'root-servers.net.': {}

Complex master server example

The following is an example where we have three layers of server top layer -> middle -> edge. The basics of this is to demonstrate how a server (middle) can both import and export configuration. This example will also use hiera with a hierarchy as follows, this allows you to configure the zones in one common locatio9ns and the relations ships in the node specific filess, this allows you to configure the zones in one common locatio9ns and the relations ships in the node specific files

:hierarchy:
  - "nodes/%{trusted.certname}"
  - "common"

dns::zones:
  in-addr.arpa: {}
  in-addr-servers.arpa: {}
  ip6.arpa: {}
