El repo prueba una matriz +PDNS 3.4→5.1, así que el switch debe atender **ambos** nombres. + +## 3. Requisitos funcionales + +### R1 — Método `list` + enumeración de zona (núcleo del AXFR) + +PDNS envía `{"method":"list","parameters":{"zonename":"...","domain_id":N}}` y espera +**todos** los registros de la zona (mismo formato que `lookup`: +`qname,qtype,ttl,content,auth,domain_id`). Hoy **no existe función de zone-walk**: `lookup` +solo accede a un nodo (`src/lookup.go:74`). Hay que construir un recorrido recursivo del +subárbol de la zona (`data.children`) que **se detenga al cruzar a una zona hija** +(`hasSOA()`, `src/data.go:135`), emitiendo cada `records[qtype][id]` vía `makeResultItem`, +**incluyendo SOA y NS de delegación**. + +### R2 — Identidad de zona (`domain_id`) + +`setNotified` entrega **solo** un `id` entero; `getDomainInfo`/`getAllDomains`/`list` también +lo manejan. Hoy las zonas se identifican por **nombre**, no hay enteros. Se necesita un +**mapa estable id↔zona**. Recomendación: registro en memoria que asigna ids secuenciales por +orden determinista al cargar; el `notified_serial` se persiste **por nombre** en etcd (no por +id), así la estabilidad del id entre reinicios no afecta a la corrección. + +### R3 — `getDomainInfo` y `getAllDomains` con metadatos de primario + +Ambos deben reportar `kind` = `MASTER`/`PRIMARY`, el `id` (R2) y, en `getDomainInfo`, el +`notified_serial` (R4). Sin `kind=MASTER`, el hilo primario de PDNS no considera la zona para +NOTIFY. + +### R4 — NOTIFY automático (`getUpdatedMasters`/`getUpdatedPrimaries` + `setNotified`) + +- `getUpdatedMasters`: recorrer zonas, comparar `soaSerial(zona)` con el `notified_serial` + almacenado, devolver **solo las que difieren** con `{id,zone,serial,notified_serial,kind}`. +- `setNotified(id,serial)`: resolver id→zona (R2) y **persistir** el serial notificado como + metadata en etcd (p. ej. nueva clave `X-PE3-NOTIFIED-SERIAL`), **reutilizando** + `newTransaction`/`txn.Put`/`Commit` de `src/transaction.go:24`. +- Destinatarios del NOTIFY: PDNS notifica a los **NS de la zona** (resueltos) + `ALSO-NOTIFY` + (metadata, ya funciona por passthrough). Requiere `primary=yes` en la config de PDNS. + +### R5 — Serial SOA monótono (riesgo crítico para transferencias) + +El serial se deriva de `zoneRev()` = revisión etcd máxima de la zona, y se imprime tal cual +con `%d` en el contenido SOA (`src/rr.go:350`, `soaSerial()` en `src/rr.go:271`). Riesgos +para un secundario que compara seriales: + +- *Salto hacia atrás al borrar claves* — ya mitigado con `X-PE3-MINIMUM-SERIAL` + (`handleEvents`, `src/pdns-etcd3.go`). +- *Overflow uint32*: la revisión de etcd es `int64` y crece globalmente; el serial SOA en + cable es `uint32`. En clústeres longevos/ocupados puede superar 2^32. RFC 1982 tolera + wraparound, pero la **conversión int64→uint32** debe ser explícita y monótona para no + romper la comparación en el borde. +- `X-PE3-FIXED-SERIAL` (`src/rr.go:271`) permite fijar el serial manualmente. + +Para un primario AXFR dinámico hace falta **garantía explícita de monotonicidad** del valor +uint32 servido (ver decisión §10.2). + +### R6 — Seguridad TSIG + +- Implementar `getTSIGKey`/`getTSIGKeys`: PDNS pide `{name}` y espera + `{name, algorithm, content(base64)}`. Hay que **almacenar claves TSIG en etcd** (esquema + nuevo) y devolverlas. +- ACL: metadata `TSIG-ALLOW-AXFR` (lista de nombres de clave permitidos por zona) — **ya sale + por el passthrough** de `getDomainMetadata`; solo hay que poblarla. +- Recomendado además: `allow-axfr-ips` / `ALLOW-AXFR-FROM` como segunda capa (coste casi nulo). + +### R7 — DNSSEC sobre AXFR (ambos caminos) + +- **Camino A — zona sin firmar:** `list` emite los registros tal cual. Sin requisitos extra + más allá de R1–R6. Es el MVP del transfer. +- **Camino B — presigned (rama ya fusionada en master):** DNSKEY/RRSIG/NSEC/NSEC3 se guardan + como *plain strings* y se sirven verbatim (caen al passthrough, no están en `rrFuncs`). Para + AXFR presigned correcto hacen falta además: + 1. Metadata `PRESIGNED=1` por zona, para que PDNS **no re-firme** y transmita los RRSIG + almacenados. + 2. **Serial coherente con `RRSIG(SOA)`**: usar `X-PE3-FIXED-SERIAL` para que el serial + servido == el firmado. Implica que, al cambiar datos, el operador debe re-firmar **y** + subir el serial fijo (limitación inherente al presigned). + 3. **Flags `auth` correctos** en `list`: NS de delegación y glue deben ir `auth=0`; el resto + `auth=1`. Hoy el backend no calcula `auth` (R1 debe añadirlo). + 4. **Cadena NSEC/NSEC3 completa** presente como datos (incluidos los ENT). En presigned es + responsabilidad de quien firma/puebla etcd, no del backend. + +## 4. Concurrencia: snapshot consistente de la zona + +Un AXFR enumera **toda** la zona mientras `handleEvents` (`src/pdns-etcd3.go:254`) puede estar +recargándola. Convenciones a respetar (`CLAUDE.md` / `src/data.go`): + +- `list` debe tomar el árbol vía `getChild(name,true)` y `rUnlockUpwards` diferido (patrón de + `withRLock`, `src/metadata.go:25`). +- Decisión abierta (§10.1): RLock de toda la zona durante toda la transferencia (consistencia + fuerte, posible contención con writers) **vs** snapshot/copia de los registros bajo lock y + soltar antes de serializar (menos contención, más memoria). + +## 5. Modelo de datos en etcd y versionado + +Claves nuevas a introducir: + +- `…/-metadata-/X-PE3-NOTIFIED-SERIAL` (por zona) — serial notificado (R4). +- Almacén de claves **TSIG** (R6) — definir ubicación/esquema (ver §10.3). +- Metadata existente reutilizable por passthrough: `PRESIGNED`, `TSIG-ALLOW-AXFR`, + `ALSO-NOTIFY`, `ALLOW-AXFR-FROM`. + +Cualquier cambio de forma on-etcd implica **bump de `dataVersion`** en `src/data.go` y +actualizar `doc/ETCD-structure.md` (regla de `CLAUDE.md`). + +## 6. Configuración PowerDNS requerida + +`primary=yes` (o `master=yes` < 4.5); NOTIFY a NS + `also-notify`; `allow-axfr-ips`/TSIG; el +connector remote en modo apropiado (pipe/unix con `initialize`, o `http` con `-pdns-version`). +En modo HTTP no hay `initialize`, así que la versión de PDNS para decidir nombres +`master`↔`primary` viene del flag `-pdns-version`. + +## 7. Fuera de alcance (fases posteriores) + +- **IXFR**: requeriría journal de deltas versionado en etcd. +- **AXFR-IN / ser secundario** (`startTransaction`/`feedRecord`/`commitTransaction`): no aplica. +- **Live-signing DNSSEC** (`getDomainKeys`/`addDomainKey`…): el modelo es presigned. + +## 8. Testing + +- **Unit**: zone-walk de `list` (incluye SOA/NS/glue, se detiene en zona hija, flags `auth`); + comparación serial vs notified en `getUpdatedMasters`; resolución id↔zona; `getTSIGKey`. +- **Integración** (testcontainers, patrón de `src/integration_test.go`): levantar pdns-etcd3 + como primario + un **secundario real** (PowerDNS o NSD/BIND en contenedor) y verificar + (a) AXFR transfiere la zona, (b) NOTIFY dispara refresh tras cambiar etcd, (c) TSIG rechaza + sin clave / acepta con clave, (d) variante presigned valida la zona firmada.

Requisitos funcionales - -### R1 — Método `list` + enumeración de zona (núcleo del AXFR) - -PDNS envía `{"method":"list","parameters":{"zonename":"...","domain_id":N}}` y espera -**todos** los registros de la zona (mismo formato que `lookup`: -`qname,qtype,ttl,content,auth,domain_id`). Hoy **no existe función de zone-walk**: `lookup` -solo accede a un nodo (`src/lookup.go:74`). Hay que construir un recorrido recursivo del -subárbol de la zona (`data.children`) que **se detenga al cruzar a una zona hija** -(`hasSOA()`, `src/data.go:135`), emitiendo cada `records[qtype][id]` vía `makeResultItem`, -**incluyendo SOA y NS de delegación**. - -### R2 — Identidad de zona (`domain_id`) - -`setNotified` entrega **solo** un `id` entero; `getDomainInfo`/`getAllDomains`/`list` también -lo manejan. Hoy las zonas se identifican por **nombre**, no hay enteros. Se necesita un -**mapa estable id↔zona**. Recomendación: registro en memoria que asigna ids secuenciales por -orden determinista al cargar; el `notified_serial` se persiste **por nombre** en etcd (no por -id), así la estabilidad del id entre reinicios no afecta a la corrección. - -### R3 — `getDomainInfo` y `getAllDomains` con metadatos de primario - -Ambos deben reportar `kind` = `MASTER`/`PRIMARY`, el `id` (R2) y, en `getDomainInfo`, el -`notified_serial` (R4). Sin `kind=MASTER`, el hilo primario de PDNS no considera la zona para -NOTIFY. - -### R4 — NOTIFY automático (`getUpdatedMasters`/`getUpdatedPrimaries` + `setNotified`) - -- `getUpdatedMasters`: recorrer zonas, comparar `soaSerial(zona)` con el `notified_serial` - almacenado, devolver **solo las que difieren** con `{id,zone,serial,notified_serial,kind}`. -- `setNotified(id,serial)`: resolver id→zona (R2) y guardar el serial notificado - **en memoria** (en el registro de zonas), **no** en etcd. Refinamiento descubierto al - planificar: persistir `notified_serial` bajo el prefijo de la zona subiría `maxRev` → - subiría el serial → la zona volvería a aparecer "cambiada" → **bucle de NOTIFY infinito**. - El estado in-memory es correcto (solo refleja "lo ya notificado"); perderlo al reiniciar - solo provoca un re-NOTIFY inocuo. Consecuencia: **la operación primaria/NOTIFY requiere - modo standalone** (proceso longevo). Ver el plan de implementación, fase F2. -- Destinatarios del NOTIFY: PDNS notifica a los **NS de la zona** (resueltos) + `ALSO-NOTIFY` - (metadata, ya funciona por passthrough). Requiere `primary=yes` en la config de PDNS. - -### R5 — Serial SOA monótono (riesgo crítico para transferencias) - -El serial se deriva de `zoneRev()` = revisión etcd máxima de la zona, y se imprime tal cual -con `%d` en el contenido SOA (`src/rr.go:350`, `soaSerial()` en `src/rr.go:271`). Riesgos -para un secundario que compara seriales: - -- *Salto hacia atrás al borrar claves* — ya mitigado con `X-PE3-MINIMUM-SERIAL` - (`handleEvents`, `src/pdns-etcd3.go`). -- *Overflow uint32*: la revisión de etcd es `int64` y crece globalmente; el serial SOA en - cable es `uint32`. En clústeres longevos/ocupados puede superar 2^32. RFC 1982 tolera - wraparound, pero la **conversión int64→uint32** debe ser explícita y monótona para no - romper la comparación en el borde. -- `X-PE3-FIXED-SERIAL` (`src/rr.go:271`) permite fijar el serial manualmente. - -Para un primario AXFR dinámico hace falta **garantía explícita de monotonicidad** del valor -uint32 servido (ver decisión §10.2). - -### R6 — Seguridad TSIG - -- Implementar `getTSIGKey`/`getTSIGKeys`: PDNS pide `{name}` y espera - `{name, algorithm, content(base64)}`. Hay que **almacenar claves TSIG en etcd** (esquema - nuevo) y devolverlas. -- ACL: metadata `TSIG-ALLOW-AXFR` (lista de nombres de clave permitidos por zona) — **ya sale - por el passthrough** de `getDomainMetadata`; solo hay que poblarla. -- Recomendado además: `allow-axfr-ips` / `ALLOW-AXFR-FROM` como segunda capa (coste casi nulo). - -### R7 — DNSSEC sobre AXFR (ambos caminos) - -- **Camino A — zona sin firmar:** `list` emite los registros tal cual. Sin requisitos extra - más allá de R1–R6. Es el MVP del transfer. -- **Camino B — presigned (rama ya fusionada en master):** DNSKEY/RRSIG/NSEC/NSEC3 se guardan - como *plain strings* y se sirven verbatim (caen al passthrough, no están en `rrFuncs`). Para - AXFR presigned correcto hacen falta además: - 1. Metadata `PRESIGNED=1` por zona, para que PDNS **no re-firme** y transmita los RRSIG - almacenados. - 2. **Serial coherente con `RRSIG(SOA)`**: usar `X-PE3-FIXED-SERIAL` para que el serial - servido == el firmado. Implica que, al cambiar datos, el operador debe re-firmar **y** - subir el serial fijo (limitación inherente al presigned). - 3. **Flags `auth` correctos** en `list`: NS de delegación y glue deben ir `auth=0`; el resto - `auth=1`. Hoy el backend no calcula `auth` (R1 debe añadirlo). - 4. **Cadena NSEC/NSEC3 completa** presente como datos (incluidos los ENT). En presigned es - responsabilidad de quien firma/puebla etcd, no del backend. - -## 4. Concurrencia: snapshot consistente de la zona - -Un AXFR enumera **toda** la zona mientras `handleEvents` (`src/pdns-etcd3.go:254`) puede estar -recargándola. Convenciones a respetar (`CLAUDE.md` / `src/data.go`): - -- `list` debe tomar el árbol vía `getChild(name,true)` y `rUnlockUpwards` diferido (patrón de - `withRLock`, `src/metadata.go:25`). -- Decisión abierta (§10.1): RLock de toda la zona durante toda la transferencia (consistencia - fuerte, posible contención con writers) **vs** snapshot/copia de los registros bajo lock y - soltar antes de serializar (menos contención, más memoria). - -## 5. Modelo de datos en etcd y versionado - -Claves nuevas a introducir: - -- `…/-metadata-/X-PE3-NOTIFIED-SERIAL` (por zona) — serial notificado (R4). -- Almacén de claves **TSIG** (R6) — definir ubicación/esquema (ver §10.3). -- Metadata existente reutilizable por passthrough: `PRESIGNED`, `TSIG-ALLOW-AXFR`, - `ALSO-NOTIFY`, `ALLOW-AXFR-FROM`. - -Cualquier cambio de forma on-etcd implica **bump de `dataVersion`** en `src/data.go` y -actualizar `doc/ETCD-structure.md` (regla de `CLAUDE.md`). - -## 6. Configuración PowerDNS requerida - -`primary=yes` (o `master=yes` < 4.5); NOTIFY a NS + `also-notify`; `allow-axfr-ips`/TSIG; el -connector remote en modo apropiado (pipe/unix con `initialize`, o `http` con `-pdns-version`). -En modo HTTP no hay `initialize`, así que la versión de PDNS para decidir nombres -`master`↔`primary` viene del flag `-pdns-version`. - -## 7. Fuera de alcance (fases posteriores) - -- **IXFR**: requeriría journal de deltas versionado en etcd. -- **AXFR-IN / ser secundario** (`startTransaction`/`feedRecord`/`commitTransaction`): no aplica. -- **Live-signing DNSSEC** (`getDomainKeys`/`addDomainKey`…): el modelo es presigned. - -## 8. Testing - -- **Unit**: zone-walk de `list` (incluye SOA/NS/glue, se detiene en zona hija, flags `auth`); - comparación serial vs notified en `getUpdatedMasters`; resolución id↔zona; `getTSIGKey`. -- **Integración** (testcontainers, patrón de `src/integration_test.go`): levantar pdns-etcd3 - como primario + un **secundario real** (PowerDNS o NSD/BIND en contenedor) y verificar - (a) AXFR transfiere la zona, (b) NOTIFY dispara refresh tras cambiar etcd, (c) TSIG rechaza - sin clave / acepta con clave, (d) variante presigned valida la zona firmada. Resolver con - `miekg/dns` (ya en uso). - -## 9. Fases de implementación - -| Fase | Contenido | Tamaño | -|---|---|---| -| **F1 — AXFR básico** | R1 (`list`+zone-walk), R2 (id), R3 (kind/id) | Mediano | -| **F2 — NOTIFY automático** | R4 (`getUpdatedMasters`/`setNotified`, persistencia) | Mediano | -| **F3 — TSIG** | R6 (`getTSIGKey` + almacén etcd + ACL) | Mediano | -| **F4 — DNSSEC presigned sobre AXFR** | R7-B (auth flags, PRESIGNED, serial coherente) | Pequeño-Mediano | -| **transversal** | R5 (monotonicidad serial), versionado + docs, tests integración | Mediano | - -## 10. Decisiones de diseño (resueltas — 2026-06-16) - -1. **Estrategia de snapshot del AXFR** (§4) → **RLock del subárbol durante el walk.** - `list` es una única petición/respuesta JSON: el backend materializa el array completo de - registros en memoria y responde; el transfer TCP al secundario lo hace PowerDNS *después*, - sin lock del backend. Por tanto el RLock solo se sostiene durante el recorrido en memoria - (rápido), con consistencia fuerte y contención despreciable. Trabajo: recorrido recursivo - que RLockea/RUnlockea cada hijo y se detiene en zonas hijas (`hasSOA()`). - -2. **Serial uint32 monótono** (§R5) → **proyección uint32 de `zoneRev()`.** - Emitir `uint32(zoneRev())` manteniendo el suelo `X-PE3-MINIMUM-SERIAL` en espacio `int64`. - Es monótono bajo RFC 1982 porque los incrementos entre sondeos del secundario son ≪ 2^31, - así el wraparound se interpreta correctamente como "más nuevo". Conserva el serial - automático cero-mantenimiento. Precedencia de serial: `X-PE3-FIXED-SERIAL` (presigned) > - suelo `X-PE3-MINIMUM-SERIAL` > proyección automática. - -3. **Almacén de claves TSIG** (§R6) → **global por nombre bajo pseudo-prefijo `-tsig-/`.** - Las claves TSIG son objetos globales referenciados por nombre (`getTSIGKey(name)` no recibe - zona). Se guardan como objeto `{algorithm, secret}` (JSON5/YAML), análogo a los pseudo- - entries `-metadata-`/`-lock-` (`src/const.go:52`). La ACL "qué clave transfiere qué zona" - la sigue dando la metadata `TSIG-ALLOW-AXFR` por zona (passthrough existente). Nota de - seguridad: el secreto vive en etcd → proteger con ACLs/cifrado en reposo y documentarlo. diff --git a/docs/plans/2026-06-16-zone-transfer-axfr-implementation.md b/docs/plans/2026-06-16-zone-transfer-axfr-implementation.md deleted file mode 100644 index cd75957..0000000 --- a/docs/plans/2026-06-16-zone-transfer-axfr-implementation.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1185 +0,0 @@ -# AXFR Zone-Transfer (Primary Mode) Implementation Plan - -> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. - -**Goal:** Make pdns-etcd3 serve outbound AXFR so PowerDNS can act as an authoritative primary, with automatic NOTIFY to an external secondary, TSIG-secured transfers, and correct behavior for pre-signed DNSSEC zones. - -**Architecture:** All work is adding JSON-RPC methods to the remote-backend dispatch (`src/pdns-etcd3.go` `handleRequest`) plus the data-layer logic behind them.

From 47991a857a5e9613d7e8449687f1ef6621459ffe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jorge Leal Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 20:20:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 29/35] feat: persist the notified serial in etcd (NOTIFY works in pipe mode) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The notified serial was kept in process memory, so automatic NOTIFY only worked in standalone mode (in pipe mode PowerDNS spawns a process per request thread and the state was not shared). Persist it instead in a global -notified-/ etcd pseudo-entry: - It lives OUTSIDE any zone prefix, so writing it never enters a zone's zoneRev()/serial (no NOTIFY feedback loop) and is skipped by reload and handleEvents (like -tsig-). - It is keyed by a now-DETERMINISTIC domain_id (31-bit FNV-1a of the zone name) instead of an in-memory counter, so every process computes the same id and setNotified — which only receives the id — needs no reverse lookup. - getUpdatedMasters/getDomainInfo/getAllDomains read it on demand; setNotified writes it. Being in etcd it is shared across processes → NOTIFY now works in any run mode (pipe and standalone). Replaces the in-memory zoneRegistry with domainID() + etcd helpers. Verified by unit tests (deterministic id, update filter) and integration tests (notified serial persists/reads back via etcd; the real BIND9 secondary still gets NOTIFY-driven updates; TestWithPDNS unaffected). --- src/const.go | 1 + src/data.go | 48 +++++----------- src/data_test.go | 21 +------ src/integration_test.go | 31 +++++++++++ src/lookup.go | 2 + src/metadata.go | 31 ++++++++--- src/pdns-etcd3.go | 13 +++-- src/zoneid.go | 120 +++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- src/zoneid_test.go | 59 ++++++++++++-------- 9 files changed, 190 insertions(+), 136 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/const.go b/src/const.go index b7719e3..7d025ff 100644 --- a/src/const.go +++ b/src/const.go @@ -55,6 +55,7 @@ const ( metadataKey = "-metadata-" lockKey = "-lock-" tsigKey = "-tsig-" + notifiedKey = "-notified-" keySeparator = "/" labelPrefix = "+" idSeparator = "#" diff --git a/src/data.go b/src/data.go index 9341478..b946f35 100644 --- a/src/data.go +++ b/src/data.go @@ -298,11 +298,11 @@ func (dn *dataNode) allDomains(result []domainInfo) []domainInfo { serial := int64(soaWireSerial(dn)) dn.Logf(3)("allDomains: found zone %q", zone)("serial", serial) result = append(result, domainInfo{ - ID: zoneIDs.id(zone), - Zone: zone, - Serial: serial, - NotifiedSerial: int64(zoneIDs.notifiedSerial(zone)), - Kind: kindMaster, + ID: domainID(zone), + Zone: zone, + Serial: serial, + Kind: kindMaster, + // NotifiedSerial is filled in by the request handler from the persisted etcd state. }) } for _, child := range dn.children { @@ -311,31 +311,6 @@ func (dn *dataNode) allDomains(result []domainInfo) []domainInfo { return result } -// updatedDomains returns the zones whose current serial differs from the last serial -// PowerDNS notified secondaries about (so PowerDNS will send NOTIFY for them). -func (dn *dataNode) updatedDomains(result []domainInfo) []domainInfo { - // See allDomains for the locking rationale (parent-before-child RLock). - dn.RLock(false) - defer dn.RUnlock(false) - if dn.hasSOA() { - zone := dn.getQname() - serial := soaWireSerial(dn) - if serial != zoneIDs.notifiedSerial(zone) { - result = append(result, domainInfo{ - ID: zoneIDs.id(zone), - Zone: zone, - Serial: int64(serial), - NotifiedSerial: int64(zoneIDs.notifiedSerial(zone)), - Kind: kindMaster, - }) - } - } - for _, child := range dn.children { - result = child.updatedDomains(result) - } - return result -} - func targetString(qname, qtype, id string) string { return qname + keySeparator + qtype + idSeparator + id } @@ -422,6 +397,10 @@ func parseEntryKey(key string) (name Name, entryType entryType, qtype, id string // the remainder after "-tsig-/" is the key name (may contain dots) id = key return + case notifiedEntry: + // the remainder after "-notified-/" is the domain id + id = key + return default: err = fmt.Errorf("unhandled entry type: %q", entryType) return @@ -511,10 +490,11 @@ ITEMS: debug3("ignoring lock entry")(item.Key) continue ITEMS } - if entryType == tsigEntry { - // TSIG keys are read on demand, never stored in the data tree, and must - // not influence any zone serial → skip before the maxRev update below. - debug3("ignoring tsig entry")(item.Key) + if entryType == tsigEntry || entryType == notifiedEntry { + // TSIG keys and notified-serial markers are global, read on demand, never stored + // in the data tree, and must not influence any zone serial → skip before the + // maxRev update below. + debug3("ignoring %s entry", entryType)(item.Key) continue ITEMS } // check if the entry belongs to this domain diff --git a/src/data_test.go b/src/data_test.go index 19dafe4..78abe4f 100644 --- a/src/data_test.go +++ b/src/data_test.go @@ -253,7 +253,6 @@ func TestParseTSIGEntryKey(t *testing.T) { } func TestAllDomainsReportsKindAndID(t *testing.T) { - zoneIDs = newZoneRegistry() apex := newDataNode(nil, "example", "", false) apex.records["SOA"] = map[string]recordType{"": {content: "ns1 host 1 2 3 4 5"}} apex.maxRev = 7 @@ -264,30 +263,14 @@ func TestAllDomainsReportsKindAndID(t *testing.T) { if got[0].Kind != "MASTER" { Errorf(t, "kind = %q, want MASTER", got[0].Kind) } - if got[0].ID == 0 { - Errorf(t, "id not assigned") + if got[0].ID != domainID("example.") { + Errorf(t, "id = %d, want domainID(\"example.\") = %d", got[0].ID, domainID("example.")) } if got[0].Serial != 7 { Errorf(t, "serial = %d, want 7", got[0].Serial) } } -func TestUpdatedDomains(t *testing.T) { - zoneIDs = newZoneRegistry() - apex := newDataNode(nil, "example", "", false) - apex.records["SOA"] = map[string]recordType{"": {content: "ns1 host 1 2 3 4 5"}} - apex.maxRev = 10 - // not notified yet → appears as updated - if got := apex.updatedDomains(nil);
