    <title>The DHCP-DDNS Server</title>
    <para>
    The DHCP-DDNS Server (kea-dhcp-ddns, known informally as D2) conducts the client side of
    the DDNS protocol (defined in RFC 2136) on behalf of the DHCPv4 and DHCPv6
    servers (kea-dhcp4 and kea-dhcp6 respectively). The DHCP servers construct
    DDNS update requests, known as NameChangeRequests (NCRs), based upon DHCP
    lease change events and then post these to D2. D2 attempts to match
    each such request to the appropriate DNS server(s) and carry out the
    necessary conversation with those servers to update the DNS data.
    </para>
    <para>
    In order to match a request to the appropriate DNS servers, D2 must have a
    catalog of servers from which to select. In fact, D2 has two such catalogs,
    one for forward DNS and one for reverse DNS; these catalogs are referred
    to as DDNS Domain Lists.  Each list consists of one or more named DDNS
    Domains. Further, each DDNS Domain has a list of one or more DNS
    servers that publish the DNS data for that domain.
    </para>
    <para>
    When conducting forward domain matching, D2 will compare the FQDN in
    the request against the name of each forward DDNS Domain. The domain
    whose name matches the longest portion of the FQDN is considered the
    best match.  For example, if the FQDN is "myhost.sample.example.com.",
    and there are two forward domains in the catalog: "sample.example.com."
    and "example.com.", the former is regarded as the best match.  In some
    cases, it may not be possible to find a suitable match. Given the same two
    forward domains there would be no match for the FQDN, "bogus.net", so the
    request would be rejected.   Finally, if there are no forward DDNS Domains
    defined, D2 will simply disregard the forward update portion of requests.
    </para>
    <para>
    When conducting reverse domain matching, D2 constructs a reverse
    FQDN from the lease address in the request and compare that against
    the name of each reverse DDNS Domain. Again, the domain whose name matches
    the longest portion of the FQDN is considered the best match. For instance,
    if the lease address is "172.16.1.40" and there are two reverse domains in
    the catalog: "1.16.172.in-addr.arpa." and "16.172.in-addr.arpa", the
    former is the best match.  As with forward matching, it is possible to not
    find a suitable match.  Given the same two domains, there would be no
    match for the lease address, "192.168.1.50", and the request would be
    rejected. Finally, if there are no reverse DDNS Domains defined, D2 will
    simply disregard the reverse update portion of requests.

      <command>kea-dhcp-ddns</command> is the Kea DHCP-DDNS server
      and, due to the nature of DDNS, it is run alongside either the
      DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 components (or both).  Like other parts of
      Kea, it is a separate binary that can be run on its own or through

	A DDNS protocol exchange can be conducted with or without TSIG

	to define the set of TSIG keys that may be used in such

	<para>To use TSIG when updating entries in a DNS Domain,
	a key must be defined in the TSIG Key List and referenced by
	name in that domain's configuration entry.  When D2 matches a
	change request to a domain, it checks whether the domain has
	a TSIG key associated with it.  If so, D2 will use that key to
	sign DNS update messages sent to and verify responses received
	from the domain's DNS server(s). For each TSIG key required by
	the DNS servers that D2 will be working with there must be a
	corresponding TSIG key in the TSIG Key list.</para>

	<para>
	As one might gather from the name, the tsig_key section of the
	D2 configuration lists the TSIG keys.  Each entry describes a
	TSIG key used by one or more DNS servers to authenticate requests
	and sign responses.  Every entry in the list has three parameters:

	      used when updating a specific domain. So long as it is unique its

	    <listitem>

	      <command>dns_servers</command> -
	      a list of one or more DNS servers which can conduct the server
	      side of the DDNS protocol for this domain.  Currently the servers
	      are used in a first to last preference. In other words, when D2
	      begins to process a request for this domain it will pick the
	      first server in this list and attempt to communicate with it.
	      If that attempt fails, it will move to next one in the list and
	      so on until the it achieves success or the list is exhausted.
	      </simpara>
	    </listitem>
	  </itemizedlist>
	To create a new reverse DDNS Domain, one must add a new domain element
	and set its parameters. For example, to support subnet 2001:db8:1::,
	the following configuration could be used:
<screen>
"DhcpDdns": {
    "reverse_ddns": {
	"ddns_domains": [
	    <userinput>{
		"name": "1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.",
		"key_name": "",
		"dns_servers": [
		]
	    }</userinput>
	]
    }
}
</screen>

	It is permissible to add a domain without any servers. If that domain
	should be matched to a request, however, the request will fail.  In
	order to make the domain useful though, we must add at least one DNS
	server to it.

	  <title>Adding Reverse DNS Servers</title>
	  <para>
	  This section describes how to add DNS servers to a Reverse DDNS Domain.
	  Repeat them for as many servers as desired for each domain.
	  </para>
	  <para>
	  Reverse DNS Server entries represents a actual DNS servers which
	  support the server side of the DDNS protocol. Each Reverse DNS Server
	  has the following parameters:
	  <itemizedlist>
	    <listitem>
	      <simpara>
	      <command>hostname</command> -
	      The resolvable host name of the DNS server. This value is
	      currently ignored.
	      </simpara>
	    </listitem>
	    <listitem>
	      <simpara>
	      <command>ip_address</command> -
	      The IP address at which the server listens for DDNS requests.
	      </simpara>
	    </listitem>
	    <listitem>
	      <simpara>
	      <command>port</command> -
	      The port on which the server listens for DDNS requests. It
	      defaults to the standard DNS service port of 53.
	      </simpara>
	    </listitem>
	  </itemizedlist>
	  To create a new reverse DNS Server, one must first add a new server
	  element to the domain and fill in its parameters.  If for
	example the service is running at "172.88.99.10", then set it as
	follows:
<screen>
"DhcpDdns": {
    "reverse_ddns": {
	"ddns_domains": [
	    {
		"name": "1.0.0.0.8.B.D.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa.",
		"key_name": "",
		"dns_servers": [
		    <userinput>{
			"hostname": "",
			"ip_address": "172.88.99.10",
			"port": 53
		    }</userinput>
		]
	    }
	]
    }
}
</screen>
</para>

    <note>
    <simpara>
    As stated earlier, "hostname" is not yet supported so, the parameter
    "ip_address" must be set to the address of the DNS server.
    </simpara>
