ASL utilizes DNS servers based on Knot DNS with an HTTP backend as a way to retrieve node information, such as IAX ports, or IP address.
These DNS servers support the following:
- AllStarlink.org DNS authoritative
- Registration server redundancy
- DNS lookup for nodes information
Authoritative DNS servers
The authoritative DNS servers run on register-west.allstarlink.org and register-east.allstarlink.org.
DNSSEC is enabled on all domains and trust is expanded to all sub servers.
DNS node lookup
nodes.allstarlink.org is delegated to a DNS running in AWS. The users_Nodes table has a trigger which is run and creates entries/edits them on the records table in the 'allstar' database. This populates a SRV, TXT and A record for every node in the system when it's updated. The trigger has been optimized and has little to no preformance impact on the registration process.
Note that servers not in nodes list can appear in DNS, there is no ageing out of entries in DNS. It's up to the server to know it's registered.
SRV record
dig SRV _iax._udp.<nodenumber>.nodes.allstarlink.org
will return for a node as follows:
_iax._udp.50000.nodes.allstarlink.org. 30 IN SRV 10 10 4569 50000.nodes.allstarlink.org.
where 4569 is the IAX port.
A remote base will be returned like:
_iax._udp.50000.nodes.allstarlink.org. 30 IN SRV 10 10 4569 50000.remotebase.nodes.allstarlink.org.
A record
dig <nodenumber>.nodes.allstarlink.org
and
dig <nodenumber>.remotebase.nodes.allstarlink.org
will return the IP address of the IAX server or the proxy IP if defined.
2000.nodes.allstarlink.org. 60 IN A 162.248.93.134
TXT Record
The TXT record is used for debugging purposes with a query below:
dig TXT <nodenumber>.nodes.allstarlink.org
This will return:
"NN=50000" "RT=2019-02-28 18:41:29" "RB=0" "IP=44.98.248.144" "PIP=" "PT=4569" "RH=register-west"
Where
- NN is node number
- RT is the last update registration time
- RB is 0 for node is not a remote base, RB is 1 if it is a remote base
- IP is the IP address of the node
- PIP is the proxy IP of the node if set
- PT is the port
- RH is the registration server the node last registered to.
