False positive on inscure zone update by IP?

Well, I suppose it's a little silly that the informational message would count "none" as an "IP address", but on the other hand, why specify "allow-update { none; };" when that's the default? It probably never occurred to the creator/author of the informational message that someone would "superfluously" define an allow-update that exactly mirrors the default behavior.

If you're doing that only for documentation purposes, you could use a comment instead.

Subject: False positive on inscure zone update by IP?

Hi,

today I noticed the following log messages from my caching-only bind on
startup:

zone 'localhost' allows updates by IP address, which is insecure zone 'version.bind' allows updates by IP address, which is insecure zone 'hostname.bind' allows updates by IP address, which is insecure zone 'authors.bind' allows updates by IP address, which is insecure zone 'id.server' allows updates by IP address, which is insecure

What's bugging me about those it that I have set allow-updates { none; } in the global options section of my named.conf. Setting it on the localhost zone explicitly doesn't change anything.

I've looked at the implementation of dns_acl_isinsecure() and got the impression that there might simply be a check missing for special ACL "none".

So I wonder: Can I ignore these messages?

Thanks,
Michael
