[bind10-dev] libdns and problem record and loadzone loading it

[Jeremy C. Reed]

I accidently copy and pasted a four lines zone from jabber. In vi it 
looked like four separate lines. (Blame pidgin!)

b10-loadzone loaded it fine. The first line was a SOA record. It had all 
the extra data too.

b10-auth crashed via an isc_throw in libdns when a query asked for it.

	Invalid SOA format

I was told the invalid SOA format throws an exception, which 
b10-auth doesn't catch.

Before I maybe open a ticket....

What should libdns do? I don't think b10-auth should crash due to 
accidently loaded data in the data source. Shouldn't return some FORMERR 
or SERVFAIL other problem?

I understand b10-loadzone is limited and maybe someone can make it offer 
good checking. But that doesn't stop some admin to creating (accidently) 
bogus records in the data source a different way.

I know there was discussion on efficiency of data source (now the 
sqlite3 is plain text). I don't think the data source read API should 
check the data syntax if libdns is also going to do it.
