Not to hijack the discussion,

Is it possible to configure dns client to send only ITERATIVE query rather
than recursive ?

I don't know how.

Maybe custom applications could be written to do that, but I'd wonder why one would do so. Why put the load on the client rather than on a server designed for the load?

Is it possible to configure dns client to send only ITERATIVE query rather than recursive ?

David,

Apologies for misreading you.

I agree that the query will be handled differently in some cases, but the client has no knowledge of that behavior until it has issued the query, and the diff in response is usually dictated by the availability or non-availability of a local copy of the zone. Because Windows dns clients generally issue recursive queries ("Hey, DNS server! get me the address for computerabc in the xyz zone, and don't come back until you've either found it or failed to find it"), there is no difference in query REQUEST behaviors regardless of the zone state, and consequently, Windows clients will not even be aware of (or be concerned with) the mechanics of zone configuration.

This is also true for a DNS server acting as a client.

Hi Deji,

I don't think I implied that the client modified its query at all (at least I hope I didn't). I think that a query which is processed by a DNS configured with a delegation record for the queried zone is handled differently by a DNS configured as a forwarder for the queried zone. Stub zones I wasn't 100% sure about.

If you have stub/secondary/delegated, the DNS server will not say "I don't know, go talk to serverX". This is because the DNS server DOES know, based on the fact that it has a copy of the zone. But the client is not aware that the server has the info, it just issues a query.

Now, forwarding, yes. And, although there are still subtle diffs between cond. fwdg, normal fwdg and root hints, these diffs do not alter the client's query process. The server controls that aspect. Again, the client just issues a query, and for all it cares, the server could be buying the info requested at the flea market. If the server doesn't recurse for the client, then the client becomes aware, not before.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] ADDNS: Stub vs Forwarder

One thing that does affect clients, depending upon the configuration, is the recursive nature of the DNS configuration.

(and dang if I just can't remember which is recursive and which isn't - I have to go look it up EVERY time!)

Both scenarios assume the DNS server does not have the answer in cache!


The client asks the DNS server a question
The DNS server replies back: don't know - go ask DNS server "X"

The above puts the load on the client. Or...

The client asks the DNS server a question
The DNS server looks up the answer (from cache or other DNS servers) and returns the answer to the client

This puts the load on the DNS server.

There are pro's and con's for both.

It can also impact how the client functions - as the second method can make the client's name resolver "wait" - and if it takes too long, the client times out and can go to the next DNS server in the list (or is probably asking multiple DNS servers the questions at the same time).

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] ADDNS: Stub vs Forwarder

Just the typical AD delegated zone type. I'm just trying to see if there are functional difference between each during the client/server query process.

After reading the docs you list (please correct me if I'm mistaken), it doesnt seem to change from a client perspective.. Clients queries their configured DNS server, the DNS server then performs the lookup regardless if the query ends up being locally cached, a stub zone, a delegated zone, or forwarded request and then replies to the client accordingly. The clients dont know the difference of "zone type" involved as the server makes it transparent, unless it cant resolve then in which case it returns an error.

Sound ok? I'm probably missing a whole bunch of stuff...

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] ADDNS: Stub vs Forwarder



Thanks for the differences! I guess we could probably throw delegated zones in the mix too! How about them?

Now at a network level, from client/server perspective are the query/response different on a trace? I guess what I'm trying to get at is do these different types of zones affect the method in which queries are resolved and responded to. I realize there are forwarded in some form, so I am curious how the interaction between the client resolver and its primary DNS performs the "handoffs" if there is such.

Hey guys,

I am wondering what is the primary difference between the two. On its very basic network level, how would a query/response from a client/server differ if the zone it looked up was stubbed vs forwarded (conditional)? I realize I could do a trace of my own, but I was hoping for some insight from you folks..

Thanks!
Rand.

well... I had seen the similar setup what was described earlier,
*intelligent* DNS server giving different answers based on client's IP
address. Typically used to get clients to nearest server.
This used to fall flat when there were chains of DNS servers or delegated
zones before query could get resolved. As answers returned by DNS server
would be accurate for last server which knew about the zone in question but
it would mean client getting referred to remote server.

Only way I could think of resolving that was making local DNS server aware
of all those intelligent zones and thus be the final server who queried
those intelligent DNS servers for those specific zones.

And other reason was it is possible to disable recursion at DNS server level
so wondering is it doable at individual client level or not ?

Kamlesh,

aren't you describing "Netmask Ordering" in your "Inteliigent DNS"?

As for configuring iterative lookup query on the client side, someone would have to look at the codes and come up with an authoritative answer. Someone other than me :)

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] ADDNS: Stub vs Forwarder

well... I had seen the similar setup what was described earlier, *intelligent* DNS server giving different answers based on client's IP address. Typically used to get clients to nearest server.
This used to fall flat when there were chains of DNS servers or delegated zones before query could get resolved. As answers returned by DNS server would be accurate for last server which knew about the zone in question but it would mean client getting referred to remote server.

Only way I could think of resolving that was making local DNS server aware of all those intelligent zones and thus be the final server who queried those intelligent DNS servers for those specific zones.

And other reason was it is possible to disable recursion at DNS server level so wondering is it doable at individual client level or not ?

Maybe custom applications could be written to do that, but I'd wonder why one would do so. Why put the load on the client rather than on a server designed for the load?

Not to hijack the discussion,

Is it possible to configure dns client to send only ITERATIVE query rather than recursive ?

Just for completeness: although Windows clients request recursive lookups by default, and Windows DNS servers obey such commanding requests by default, it is possible to configure a Windows DNS server to NOT do honor recursive lookup requests.

In such instance, when a DNS server receives a lookup request for a non-local zone, the DNS server will refer the client to the next DNS server who "may" have the record. The client then repeats the same commanding request to THAT next DNS server.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] ADDNS: Stub vs Forwarder

David,

Apologies for misreading you.

I agree that the query will be handled differently in some cases, but the client has no knowledge of that behavior until it has issued the query, and the diff in response is usually dictated by the availability or non-availability of a local copy of the zone. Because Windows dns clients generally issue recursive queries ("Hey, DNS server! get me the address for computerabc in the xyz zone, and don't come back until you've either found it or failed to find it"), there is no difference in query REQUEST behaviors regardless of the zone state, and consequently, Windows clients will not even be aware of (or be concerned with) the mechanics of zone configuration.

This is also true for a DNS server acting as a client.

Hi Deji,

I don't think I implied that the client modified its query at all (at least I hope I didn't). I think that a query which is processed by a DNS configured with a delegation record for the queried zone is handled differently by a DNS configured as a forwarder for the queried zone. Stub zones I wasn't 100% sure about.

But the characteristics you've described does not pertain to the nature of the zone. Clients do not modify their query behaviors based on the type of zone because they have issued the query BEFORE the zone state is identified (as local or external) by the receiving server.

If you have stub/secondary/delegated, the DNS server will not say "I don't know, go talk to serverX". This is because the DNS server DOES know, based on the fact that it has a copy of the zone. But the client is not aware that the server has the info, it just issues a query.

Now, forwarding, yes. And, although there are still subtle diffs between cond. fwdg, normal fwdg and root hints, these diffs do not alter the client's query process. The server controls that aspect. Again, the client just issues a query, and for all it cares, the server could be buying the info requested at the flea market. If the server doesn't recurse for the client, then the client becomes aware, not before.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] ADDNS: Stub vs Forwarder

One thing that does affect clients, depending upon the configuration, is the recursive nature of the DNS configuration.

(and dang if I just can't remember which is recursive and which isn't - I have to go look it up EVERY time!)

Both scenarios assume the DNS server does not have the answer in cache!


The client asks the DNS server a question
The DNS server replies back: don't know - go ask DNS server "X"

The above puts the load on the client. Or...

The client asks the DNS server a question
The DNS server looks up the answer (from cache or other DNS servers) and returns the answer to the client

This puts the load on the DNS server.

There are pro's and con's for both.

It can also impact how the client functions - as the second method can make the client's name resolver "wait" - and if it takes too long, the client times out and can go to the next DNS server in the list (or is probably asking multiple DNS servers the questions at the same time).

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] ADDNS: Stub vs Forwarder

Just the typical AD delegated zone type. I'm just trying to see if there are functional difference between each during the client/server query process.

After reading the docs you list (please correct me if I'm mistaken), it doesnt seem to change from a client perspective.. Clients queries their configured DNS server, the DNS server then performs the lookup regardless if the query ends up being locally cached, a stub zone, a delegated zone, or forwarded request and then replies to the client accordingly. The clients dont know the difference of "zone type" involved as the server makes it transparent, unless it cant resolve then in which case it returns an error.

Sound ok? I'm probably missing a whole bunch of stuff...

Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] ADDNS: Stub vs Forwarder



Thanks for the differences! I guess we could probably throw delegated zones in the mix too! How about them?

Now at a network level, from client/server perspective are the query/response different on a trace? I guess what I'm trying to get at is do these different types of zones affect the method in which queries are resolved and responded to. I realize there are forwarded in some form, so I am curious how the interaction between the client resolver and its primary DNS performs the "handoffs" if there is such.

Similar but different :)

Subject: [ActiveDir] ADDNS: Stub vs Forwarder



Hey guys,

I am wondering what is the primary difference between the two. On its very basic network level, how would a query/response from a client/server differ if the zone it looked up was stubbed vs forwarded (conditional)? I realize I could do a trace of my own, but I was hoping for some insight from you folks..

Thanks!
Rand.

Well "netmask ordering" is very very basic form of *intelligence*.
It applies at server level only. You can't manage it at individual zone
level.

Intelligent DNS I am talking about can be configured to look at individual
client IP to varying level of netmask. It also has option to enable/disable
round robin at zone level. It also has ability to configure failover for
individual DNS records, it would monitor the primary IP sent to client as
response to query and it would start providing failover IP with smaller TTL
in case of primary failure. I think it is called RADWARE.
