where:
SOA records cause no additional section processing.
All times are in units of seconds.
Most of these fields are pertinent only for name server maintenance
operations. However, MINIMUM is used in all query operations that
retrieve RRs from a zone. Whenever a RR is sent in a response to a
query, the TTL field is set to the maximum of the TTL field from the RR
and the MINIMUM field in the appropriate SOA. Thus MINIMUM is a lower
bound on the TTL field for all RRs in a zone. Note that this use of
MINIMUM should occur when the RRs are copied into the response and not
when the zone is loaded from a Zone File or via a zone transfer. The
reason for this provison is to allow future dynamic update facilities to
change the SOA RR with known semantics.
Implementations§
source§impl SOA
impl SOA
sourcepub fn new(
mname: Name,
rname: Name,
serial: u32,
refresh: i32,
retry: i32,
expire: i32,
minimum: u32
) -> Self
pub fn new( mname: Name, rname: Name, serial: u32, refresh: i32, retry: i32, expire: i32, minimum: u32 ) -> Self
Creates a new SOA record data.
Arguments
mname
- the name of the primary or authority for this zone.rname
- the name of the responsible party for this zone, e.g. an email address.serial
- the serial number of the zone, used for caching purposes.refresh
- the amount of time to wait before a zone is resynched.retry
- the minimum period to wait if there is a failure during refresh.expire
- the time until this primary is no longer authoritative for the zone.minimum
- no zone records should have time-to-live values less than this minimum.
Return value
The newly created SOA record data.
sourcepub fn increment_serial(&mut self)
pub fn increment_serial(&mut self)
Increments the serial number by one
sourcepub fn mname(&self) -> &Name
pub fn mname(&self) -> &Name
MNAME The <domain-name> of the name server that was the
original or primary source of data for this zone.
Return value
The domain-name
of the name server that was the original or primary source of data for
this zone, i.e. the Primary Name Server.
sourcepub fn rname(&self) -> &Name
pub fn rname(&self) -> &Name
RNAME A <domain-name> which specifies the mailbox of the
person responsible for this zone.
Return value
A domain-name
which specifies the mailbox of the person responsible for this zone, i.e.
the responsible name.
sourcepub fn serial(&self) -> u32
pub fn serial(&self) -> u32
SERIAL The unsigned 32 bit version number of the original copy
of the zone. Zone transfers preserve this value. This
value wraps and should be compared using sequence space
arithmetic.
Return value
The unsigned 32 bit version number of the original copy of the zone. Zone transfers preserve this value. This value wraps and should be compared using sequence space arithmetic.
sourcepub fn refresh(&self) -> i32
pub fn refresh(&self) -> i32
REFRESH A 32 bit time interval before the zone should be
refreshed.
Return value
A 32 bit time interval before the zone should be refreshed, in seconds.
sourcepub fn retry(&self) -> i32
pub fn retry(&self) -> i32
RETRY A 32 bit time interval that should elapse before a
failed refresh should be retried.
Return value
A 32 bit time interval that should elapse before a failed refresh should be retried, in seconds.
sourcepub fn expire(&self) -> i32
pub fn expire(&self) -> i32
EXPIRE A 32 bit time value that specifies the upper limit on
the time interval that can elapse before the zone is no
longer authoritative.
Return value
A 32 bit time value that specifies the upper limit on the time interval that can elapse before the zone is no longer authoritative, in seconds
sourcepub fn minimum(&self) -> u32
pub fn minimum(&self) -> u32
MINIMUM The unsigned 32 bit minimum TTL field that should be
exported with any RR from this zone.
Return value
The unsigned 32 bit minimum TTL field that should be exported with any RR from this zone.

RFC 1033, DOMAIN OPERATIONS GUIDE, November 1987
SOA (Start Of Authority)
<name> [<ttl>] [<class>] SOA <origin> <person> (
<serial>
<refresh>
<retry>
<expire>
<minimum> )
The Start Of Authority record designates the start of a zone. The
zone ends at the next SOA record.
<name> is the name of the zone.
<origin> is the name of the host on which the master zone file
resides.
<person> is a mailbox for the person responsible for the zone. It is
formatted like a mailing address but the at-sign that normally
separates the user from the host name is replaced with a dot.
<serial> is the version number of the zone file. It should be
incremented anytime a change is made to data in the zone.
<refresh> is how long, in seconds, a secondary name server is to
check with the primary name server to see if an update is needed. A
good value here would be one hour (3600).
<retry> is how long, in seconds, a secondary name server is to retry
after a failure to check for a refresh. A good value here would be
10 minutes (600).
<expire> is the upper limit, in seconds, that a secondary name server
is to use the data before it expires for lack of getting a refresh.
You want this to be rather large, and a nice value is 3600000, about
42 days.
<minimum> is the minimum number of seconds to be used for TTL values
in RRs. A minimum of at least a day is a good value here (86400).
There should only be one SOA record per zone. A sample SOA record
would look something like:
@ IN SOA SRI-NIC.ARPA. HOSTMASTER.SRI-NIC.ARPA. (
45 ;serial
3600 ;refresh
600 ;retry
3600000 ;expire
86400 ) ;minimum
