CALL FOR TESTING: Kea DDNS server

[Monviech (Cedrik)]

I added the KEA DDNS server to KEA this week.

https://github.com/opnsense/docs/blob/7d3f4cb060f2d5d9846aaf5867f4ccf7dbfb0521/source/manual/kea.rst?plain=1#L315

The implementation is currently in master.

https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/e5b530a67c68c633c46f922c8f9eacca9b1fd641

I wonder if anybody has a standard ISC BIND server to test the configuration example I published to the docs.

To test you need to go to development branch in firmware, and then upgrade to master.

e.g.,

# git clone https://github.com/opnsense/core.git
# cd ./core
# make upgrade

Reboot might be needed to show all menu items.

Thanks for any feedback

(PS: Please no offtopic, and please no non-standard DNS setups for now.)

I use BIND as the authoritative DNS server for my home network and would be willing to give this a quick test. But it seems the OPNsense BIND plugin doesn't support DDNS, or does it? If not, would it make sense to add this?

Cheers

Hello Maurice,

thank you for considering testing this. I really like how helpful you are in general.

About os-bind on OPNsense, I want to avoid dragging it into this as it's a Tier 3 community plugin. Spending effort on it is not my current intention due to scope reasons.

A standalone authoritative ISC BIND server that runs on the standard DNS port is my current requirement (or PowerDNS using the bind config adapter).
