DNS vs. RIPE DB checking tool
by Havard Eidnes 12 Mar '95

Hi, as promised at the last RIPE meeting, please find below a copy of the perl script I have which checks for the consistency between what is registered in the RIPE database for the domains and what is registered in the DNS. Do note, this script does nothing more than report what it thinks is inconsistencies, you still need to sift through the error reports this script produces and fix any inconsistencies yourselves. This script relies on a number of conventions and is a bit picky about what needs to be in the RIPE database if it is to not complain too much. First, the script has to know which domains it should check. It performs this decision by "traversing" the domain objects in the RIPE database starting from the object for the top-level domain. If the object in question has at least one sub-dom: attbibute, my script assumes that all names registered in this domain should be registered in the RIPE database with it's own domain object. This way, you use the "sub-dom" attbiutes to span out a subset of the DNS hierarchy under a given top-level domain where administrative registration in the RIPE database is required for DNS registration. The script subsequently does zone transfers for the DNS domains corresponding to the domains which should be checked as decided above. When querying the RIPE database, the set of name server records for each domain is recorded, so that the script can compare these with what is registered in the DNS. This is one point where my script deviates slightly from or is slightly more strict than the RIPE-49 document, in that it 1) does not permit IP addresses in the nserver: attribute (since you do not delegate to an IP address in the DNS, this makes sense) 2) does not permit more than one word in each nserver: attribute This makes registration such as: nserver: aun.uninett.no / 129.241.1.99 illegal, and nserver: aun.uninett.no nserver: 129.241.1.99 would also be flagged as an error when compared to the DNS output. It is my beleif that the RIPE database does not adequatly support the registration of glue records (I do not think it needs to either), and putting the glue record information in together in the nserver: attribute is bad when seen from the database normalization and maintenance side. If a domain is registerd in the DNS with only MX information, my script demands that the corresponding registration in the RIPE database should contain the string "MX-only" in one of the remarks: attributes of the domain. Subsequently, what has been harvested via the RIPE database and what has been fetched from the DNS is compared, and any inconsistencies are reported. These are: 1) Check for domains registered in the RIPE database but not in the DNS, report these as errors 2) Check for domains registered in the DNS but not in the RIPE database, report these as errors 3) For delegated domains, report any inconsistencies between the set of nserver: attribute values and the NS records in the DNS 4) Check for domains with both MX and NS records in the DNS, report these as errors 5) Check that only domains marked in the RIPE database as "MX-only" really have an MX-only registration in the DNS. Lastly, this script depends on dig version 2.0 (forget the one which comes with BIND 4.9.3 -- the external interface changed for the worse, IMHO) and on a whois client which uses getopt() to parse it's arguments (so that I can use the '--' construct to separate the options and the arguments). If you have another version of whois than this, the fix should be trivial (at the top of "get_ripe_data". Note: the script creates a "cache file" with name cc.ripe-cache in the current directory containing all the domain objects without sub-dom attributes, so that multiple runs in quick succession can be a little faster (do however remember to remove any objects you sent in updates for, or remove the cache after substantial modifications). Well, other than this, read the script -- it's some 450 lines of simple straight-forward Perl code. - Håvard #!/local/bin/perl # $Id: domain-check.pl,v 1.7 1995/03/12 18:37:22 he Exp $ # # Perl script to check the consistency between what is registered in the # RIPE database and what is registered in the DNS for the domain objects # under a given domain.
