For those that run a homelab with DNS and DHCP, are you using IPv6? I'm running BIND and debating if I need to configure IPv6 just to future-proof myself. I'm not seeing any issues, at least any that I notice.
Also, I know little about IPv6, so I admit I need to do some learning.
Any idea why I'm getting so many SERVFAIL with Bind 9.18.33?
I have to restart bind to make it works again
Did you know ISC had a #DNS Hackathon recently? It was hosted by #RIPE_NCC , #dnsoarc , and #Netnod in Stockholm on March 14-15. We proposed a project, the DNS Zone Viewer, to integrate another DNS implementation (besides #BIND 9) with Stork, our graphical management interface.
Read more about it at https://www.isc.org/blogs/2025-dns-hackathon/ !

I wrote a new blog post about DNS (part 1)!

I started a discussion with fellow #sysadmin about updating #BIND / #named config to migrate from the overly permissive allow-update {…} stanzas to the more restricted update-policy {…} stanzas using targeted grant statements.
The idea being to allow the #acme client to only be able to update (add / delete) _acme-challenge TXT instead of any record in the zone.
Old:
allow-update {
TSIG_KEY_NAME;
};
New:
update-policy {
grant TSIG_KEY_NAME name _acme-challenge.example.net TXT;
};
ETA: Okay the below is fixed, but why would db.root not update when everything else does?
(it's on Debian)

okay this is weird
the root hints file I have diffs identically to the one I just pulled down from the internic as a sanity check (other than the last updated date which is also weird)
but I'm getting this regardless:
named[1252171]: checkhints: b.root-servers.net/A (170.247.170.2) missing from hints
named[1252171]: checkhints: b.root-servers.net/A (199.9.14.201) extra record in hints
(and similar for the IP6, elided for space)

Oh my goodness, how did I miss that in ES7 you can use a closure as a method. Goodbye `bind()`, you will not be missed :)
e.g.,
```js
class A {
b = () => console.log(this)
}
const a = new A()
a.b() // A { b: [Function: b] }
const c = a.b
c() // A { b: [Function:b] }
```
Nice! :)
**Edit**: Be careful with this. See this note by @marsup: https://mastodon.social/@marsup/113799934325782596
My dear sysadmin Federati with home labs and internal networks!
Our internal network has grown and now we want internal DNS resolution for local network stuff. It's a combo of bare metal and docker services, mostly from one host but not limited to it.
I really, really don't want to touch BIND again so I'm in a bind (badum-tss) and looking for suggestions. Any Linux based / containerised options for DNS on LAN?
Suggestions and boosts welcome!
Finally got around to setup a #FreeBSD server. There was a huge need for more beastie fun
Currently serves #DNS in a #Jail via #Bind
Another #Jail is on the way for some internal hosting via #Nginx
Currently looking for some more ideas on how to leverage the system some more.
What do you guys run on your #BSD servers?
(Most of my services are currently containerized on a #Docker #Linux server)
Asi staré téma, ale ten #progresivismus a společenská #ultrakorektnost mě s3r3.
Aktualizoval jsem #Bind a musím přepisovat konfigurační soubory, protože si někdo řekl, že slovo !master! je špatný. Místo něj se smí používat !primary!.
Jsou služby u kterých to muže ohrožovat bezpečnost. #DNS je jedna z nich.
@GottaLaff is it worth a #DontWatch ?
#CBS doesn’t deserve the business, IMO.
(I do want to watch- #bind )
