("ISC") +Copyright (C) 2000, 2001 Internet Software Consortium. +See COPYRIGHT in the source root or http://isc.org/copyright.html for terms. + +This is a simple test environment for running bind9 system tests +involving multiple name servers. + +There are multiple test suites, each in a separate subdirectory and +involving a different DNS setup. They are: + + dnssec/ DNSSEC tests + forward/ Forwarding tests + glue/ Glue handling tests + limits/ Tests of handling of large data (close to server limits) + lwresd/ Tests of the lightweight resolver library and daemon + notify/ More NOTIFY tests + nsupdate/ Dynamic update and IXFR tests + resolver/ Regression tests for resolver bugs that have been fixed + (not a complete resolver test suite) + stub/ Tests of stub zone functionality + unknown/ Unknown type and class tests + upforwd/ Update forwarding tests + views/ Tests of the "views" statement + xfer/ Zone transfer tests + xferquota/ Zone transfer quota tests + +Typically each test suite sets up 2-5 name servers and then performs +one or more tests against them. Within the test suite subdirectory, +each name server has a separate subdirectory containing its +configuration data. By convention, these subdirectories are named +"ns1", "ns2", etc. + +The tests are completely self-contained and do not require access to +the real DNS. Generally, one of the test servers (ns1) is set up as a +root name server and is listed in the hints file of the others. + +To enable all servers to run on the same machine, they bind to +separate virtual IP address on the loopback interface. ns1 runs on +10.53.0.1, ns2 on 10.53.0.2, etc. Before running any tests, you must +set up these addresses by running "ifconfig.sh up" as root. + +The servers use port 5300 instead of the usual port 53, so they can be +run without root privileges once the interfaces have been set up. + +The tests can be run individually like this: + + sh run.sh xfer + sh run.sh notify + etc. + +To run all the tests, just type "make test". + + +$Id: README,v 1.12 2004/03/05 04:59:12 marka Exp $ |
