net/bind918: update to 9.18.31

9.18.31 (2024-10-16)

New Features

* Added WALLET type.

  Add the new record type WALLET (262).  This provides a mapping from a
  domain name to a cryptographic currency wallet.  Multiple mappings can
  exist if multiple records exist.  [GL #4947]

Feature Changes

* Allow IXFR-to-AXFR fallback on DNS_R_TOOMANYRECORDS.

  This change allows fallback from an IXFR failure to AXFR when the reason
  is DNS_R_TOOMANYRECORDS.  [GL #4928]

Bug Fixes

* Fix a statistics channel counter bug when "forward only" zones are used.

  When resolving a zone with a "forward only" policy, and finding out that
  all the forwarders were marked as "bad", the "ServerQuota" \ 
counter of the
  statistics channel was incorrectly increased.  This has been fixed.  [GL
  #1793]

* Fix a bug in the static-stub implementation.

  Static-stub addresses and addresses from other sources were being mixed
  together, resulting in static-stub queries going to addresses not
  specified in the configuration, or alternatively, static-stub addresses
  being used instead of the correct server addresses.  [GL #4850]

* Don't allow statistics-channels if libxml2 and libjson-c are not
  configured.

  When BIND 9 is not configured with the libxml2 and libjson-c libraries,
  the use of the statistics-channels option is a fatal error.  [GL #4895]

* Limit the outgoing UDP send queue size.

  If the operating system UDP queue got full and the outgoing UDP sending
  started to be delayed, BIND 9 could exhibit memory spikes as it tried to
  enqueue all the outgoing UDP messages.  It now tries to deliver the
  outgoing UDP messages synchronously; if that fails, it drops the outgoing
  DNS message that would get queued up and then timeout on the client side.
  [GL #4930]

* Do not set SO_INCOMING_CPU.

  Remove the SO_INCOMING_CPU setting as kernel scheduling performs better
  without constraints. [GL #4936]

Known Issues

* There are no new known issues with this release.  See above for a list of
  all known issues affecting this BIND 9 branch.
