Blacklist creation

[#1]

Hello team,

I created a blacklist on my grid via import like this :

header-blacklistrule	parent*	domain_name*	action*
BlacklistRule	test	test.yol	PASS
BlacklistRule	test	yol	REDIRECT

Here is the need : serverA hosts the zone YOL. It must only answer to test.yol query and refuses the other hostnames

I activated the blacklist feature on the member.

the trafic is not intercepted and the member still answers to XXX.yol

I also added the entry xxx.yol redirect but I still got a reply for that host.

on the member, I activated the blacklist feature, added the test blacklist set, set action to refuse and redirect  >> same result.

Can you tell me what I am missing?

Thank you

Hello Yol,

From what I understand, Blacklist feature is used for recursive queries. If you are configuring blacklist for a domain which is already hosted on the same appliance, then blacklist won't work. You may want to use the DNS Response Policy Zone (DNS Firewall) feature.

Hello,

Actually, here is what I really want to do.

I have a serverA hosting a zone test.com with multiple records in it.
We need to configure a conditional forwarding on serverB (same gris) BUT we
only want responses for example.test.com

So if a user in area B requests example.test.com he gets an answer and if
he wants anything else in test.com he gets nothing.

Any Idea about this?

Thanks

Is server B also authoritative for the zone test.com?

No, the goal is tout create a forward on another view or secondary zone on
the same view

@AMani, any ideas?

[#7 · Accepted solution]

This is what I did

• A grid consisting of 2 members NS1 and NS2
• Created a zone test.com and added NS1 as the grid primary
• Added several A records inside test.com
• Created a zone example.test.com and added NS2 as the grid primary
• Added a blank A record inside example.test.com

Now for NS2, any query for records inside test.com would be recursive, EXCEPT for example.test.com since test.com is not authoritative for NS2.

Then created a blacklist ruleset "BL" and then added the below Rule in it

header-blacklistrule	parent*	domain_name*	action*
BlacklistRule	BL	test.com	REDIRECT

Went to the member DNS properties of NS2 and enabled blacklist with redirect to 1.1.1.1

(Data Management -> DNS -> Members -> Edit the NS2 properties -> Toggle Advance Mode -> Blacklist -> Override -> Enable Domain Name Blacklist -> Added the created Blacklist ruleset BL -> For blacklisted domain names, return -> The list of IP Addresses -> Redirect to 1.1.1.1)

So now when I query for any records (assume a.test.com) pointing to NS2, I get the redirect IP address(1.1.1.1).

When I query for example.test.com pointing to NS2, I get the correct IP address of example.test.com

Let me know if this is what your requirement is.
