HP DNS Configuration and Management Manual—529432-003

System Requirements
Secure DNS is based on BIND 9.3 and provides all the features of nonsecure DNS and
the following additional features:
•
Secret Key Transaction Authentication Transaction Signatures for DNS (TSIG)
•
DNS security and related tools
System Requirements
Restrictions
•
To make DNS a persistent process using the NonStop Kernel Persistence
Manager ($ZZKRN), you should have the G06.24 or later RVU installed on the
system.
•
The -n parameter for threading is only supported for single threading; any non-
zero specification for this parameter to the named run command is ignored.
Assumptions and Dependencies
•
Applications running in either OSS or Guardian can access the name server but
the named process must run in OSS.
•
For the name server to listen on IPv6 addresses, NonStop TCP/IPv6 must be
running in DUAL or INET6 mode. (Refer to the TCP/IPv6 Configuration and
Management Manual in NTL.)
•
$ZZKRN is used to make DNS run as a persistent process.
Running DNS in the Open System Services (OSS) Environment
DNS is provided in the OSS environment but the application programmatic interface
(API) works in both the OSS and Guardian sockets library environments. The man
pages and files are all on the OSS operating system but you can start some processes
and view files from the Guardian environment as well. The Open System Services
User’s Guide provides information about interoperating between the Guardian and
OSS environments.
This subsection provides information about:
•
