28To use the Dynamic DB sample driver, run named and check the log.
29
30    $ cd testing
31    $ named -gc named.conf
32
33You should be able to see something like:
34
35zone test/IN: loaded serial 0
36zone arpa/IN: loaded serial 0
37
38This means that the sample driver created empty zones "test." and
39"arpa." as defined by "arg" parameters in named.conf.
40
41$ dig @localhost test.
42
43should work as usual and you should be able to see the dummy zone with
44NS record pointing to the zone apex and A record with 127.0.0.1:
45
46;; ANSWER SECTION:
47test.			86400	IN	A	127.0.0.1
48test.			86400	IN	NS	test.
49test.			86400	IN	SOA	test. test. 0 28800 7200 604800 86400
50
51This driver creates two empty zones and allows query/transfer/update to
52all IP addresses for demonstration purposes.
53
54The driver wraps the RBT database implementation used natively by BIND,
55and modifies the addrdataset() and substractrdataset() functions to do
56additional work during dynamic updates.
57
58A dynamic update modifies the target zone as usual. After that, the
59driver detects whether the modified RR was of type A or AAAA, and if so,
60attempts to appropriately generate or delete a matching PTR record in
61one of the two zones managed by the driver.
62
63E.g.:
64
65$ nsupdate
66> update add a.test. 300 IN A 192.0.2.1
67> send
68
69will add the A record
70a.test.			300	IN	A	192.0.2.1
71
72and also automatically generate the PTR record
731.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa.	300	IN	PTR	a.test.
74
75AXFR and RR deletion via dynamic updates should work as usual. Deletion
76of a type A or AAAA record should delete the corresponding PTR record
77too.
78
79The zone is stored only in memory, and all changes will be lost on
80reload/reconfig.
81
82Hints for code readers:
83- Driver initialization starts in driver.c: dyndb_init() function.
84- New database implementation is registered by calling dns_db_register()
85  and passing a function pointer to it. This sample uses the function
86  create_db() to initialize the database.
87- Zones are created later in instance.c: load_sample_instance_zones().
88- Database entry points are in structure db.c: dns_dbmethods_t
89  sampledb_methods
90- sampledb_methods points to an implementation of the database interface.
91  See the db.c: addrdataset() implementation and look at how the RBT
92  database instance is wrapped into an additional layer of logic.
