Unbound and RPZ

Hi Everyone,

I'm a brand new user of the mailing list. I work for ThreatSTOP which makes RPZ's available on a variety of DNS platforms.

Recently we've been asked to support unbound.

Several years ago I looked at this and, at the time, there was no way to use a TSIG key to secure zone transfers and looking at the documentation today that seems to still be the case.

I have an ubuntu based example server running that I am able to get RPZ into by means of an external shell script that does a dig and sed pipeline. Is this the preferred method? And/or has someone got clear documentation on how to do this better?

I will be happy to contribute my example configs (and RPZ update script) back to the project if there are no better ones around.

I have two questions, assuming that the shell script method is the correct approach

  1.  Once I have updated the rpz zonefile, should I use "unbound-control reload" to get the new RPZ in or is there a better alternative (auth_zone_reload )?
  2.  I think I'm correct that unbound-control log_reopen should be called in the postrotate stanza of a logroate.d config ?

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance

Regards

Francis
