TODO items.
o understand synthesized DNAMEs, so those TTL=0 packets are cached properly.
o NSEC/NSEC3 aggressive negative caching, so that updates to NSEC/NSEC3
will result in proper negative responses.
o get serverselection algorithm out of local optimum.
make subtargets to get rtt info for a couple of targets, like fetch-policy.
or send out multiple queries to multiple servers.
o (option) where port 53 is used for send and receive, no other ports are used.
o (option) to not send replies to clients after a timeout of (say 5 secs) has
passed, but keep task active for later retries by client.
o (option) private TTL feature (always report TTL x in answers).
o (option) pretend-dnssec-unaware, and pretend-edns-unaware modes for workshops.
o delegpt use rbtree for ns-list, to avoid slowdown for very large NS sets.
o (option) reprime and refresh oft used data before timeout.
o (option) retain prime results in a overlaid roothints file.
o (option) store primed key data in a overlaid keyhints file (sort of like drafttimers).
o windows version, auto update feature, a query to check for the version.
o command the server with TSIG inband. get-config, clearcache,
get stats, get memstats, get ..., reload, clear one zone from cache
o watch for spoof nearmisses. Keep counter of nearmisses and print that
in the stats lines, operator can determine what level is a redalert.
o NSID rfc 5001 support.
o timers rfc 5011 support.
o Treat YXDOMAIN from a DNAME properly, in iterator (not throwaway), validator.
o make timeout backoffs randomized (a couple percent random) to spread traffic.
o inspect date on executable, then warn user in log if its more than 1 year.
o (option) proactively prime root, stubs and trust anchors, feature.
early failure, faster on first query, but more traffic.
o On Windows use CryptGenRandom() to get random seed for arc4random.
o library add convenience functions for A, AAAA, PTR, getaddrinfo, libresolve.
o library add function to validate input from app that is signed.
o add dynamic-update requests (making a dynupd request) to libunbound api.
o in an ipv6 connected only environment unbound cannot use outgoing IP6
to send to ip4to6 mapped hosts, need ip4to6map of NS and disable
V6ONLY socket option.
o SIG(0) and TSIG.
o support OPT record placement on recv anywhere in the additional section.
o add local-file: config with authority features.
o (option) to make local-data answers be secure for libunbound (default=no)
o (option) to make chroot: copy all needed files into jail (or make jail)
perhaps also print reminder to link /dev/random and sysloghack.
o (option) for extended statistics. If enabled (not by default) collect print
rcode, uptime, spoofnearmisses, cache size, qtype,
bits(RD, CD, DO, EDNS-present, AD)query, (Secure, Bogus)reply.
perhaps also see which slow auth servers cause >1sec values.
stats-file possible with key: value or key=value lines in it.
stats on SIGUSR1. addup stats over threads.
o overhaul outside-network servicedquery to merge with udpwait and tcpwait,
to make timers in servicedquery independent of udpwait queues.
o 0x20 fallback so it can be enabled without trouble.
o check into rebinding ports for efficiency, configure time test.
