Description PGE 2012-02-09 07:28:29 UTC
Description of problem:
Trying to filter AAAA records like this:

options {
 filter-aaaa-on-v4 yes;
 filter-aaaa { 192.168.0.1; };
};


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bind-9.7.3-8.P3.el6_2.2.x86_64


How reproducible:
All the time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install bind.
2. Try to enable filter-aaaa & filter-aaaa-on-v4.
  

Actual results:

/etc/named.conf:64: option 'filter-aaaa-on-v4' is not configured
/etc/named.conf:64: parsing failed


Expected results:

No error messages like this in logfile:

named[1269]: DNS format error from DNSSERVER#53 resolving www.dom.tld/AAAA for client IPADDRESS#54915: invalid response

The filter-aaaa* options don't help you with the "invalid response" errors. Those errors indicate that other servers respond with invalid answers.

The filter-aaaa* options aren't currently compiled in bind and their primary use is not to return AAAA records to clients. They don't control if named asks for AAAA records and caches them (named always asks for AAAA records).

More proper solution for this issue is to backport patch for bug #645544 to RHEL-6. With that fix those error messages will only appear when you start named with "-d1" parameter.
