connection state tracking with DNS [was Primary DNS...]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi, I would like to see this addressed.

I found more information on the issue at https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01183/0/Linux-connection-tracking-and-DNS.html

Is there a firewalld solution to this issue?

One additional DNS server note: you should disable firewalld for any DNS
server, caching or authoritative.  If you need firewalling, use straight
iptables.

The reason is that firewalld always enables connection state tracking
(at least as far as I can tell), and that should never be used in front
of a DNS server.  A public authoritative server or any caching server
can get a high rate of requests, and having the kernel firewalling
trying to track connection states is a bottleneck (one that will be
reached before DNS software's limits).

If you must firewall a DNS server, use straight iptables and do not use
connection state tracking.
