Doug Barton 6318052d9e Update BIND to version 9.6.1rc1. This version has better performance and
lots of new features compared to 9.4.x, including:

	Full NSEC3 support
	Automatic zone re-signing
	New update-policy methods tcp-self and 6to4-self
	DHCID support.
	More detailed statistics counters including those supported in BIND 8.
	Faster ACL processing.
	Efficient LRU cache-cleaning mechanism.
	NSID support.

BIND-9 PKCS#11 support
Prerequisite
The PKCS#11 support needs a PKCS#11 OpenSSL engine based on the Solaris one,
released the 2007-11-21 for OpenSSL 0.9.8g, with a bug fix (call to free)
and some improvements, including user friendly PIN management.
Compilation
"configure --with-pkcs11 ..."
PKCS#11 Libraries
Tested with Solaris one with a SCA board and with openCryptoki with the
software token.
OpenSSL Engines
With PKCS#11 support the PKCS#11 engine is statically loaded but at its
initialization it dynamically loads the PKCS#11 objects.
Even the pre commands are therefore unused they are defined with:
SO_PATH:
define: PKCS11_SO_PATH
default: /usr/local/lib/engines/engine_pkcs11.so
MODULE_PATH:
define: PKCS11_MODULE_PATH
default: /usr/lib/libpkcs11.so
Without PKCS#11 support, a specific OpenSSL engine can be still used
by defining ENGINE_ID at compile time.
PKCS#11 tools
The contrib/pkcs11-keygen directory contains a set of experimental tools
to handle keys stored in a Hardware Security Module at the benefit of BIND.
The patch for OpenSSL 0.9.8g is in this directory. Read its README.pkcs11
for the way to use it (these are the original notes so with the original
path, etc. Define OPENCRYPTOKI to use it with openCryptoki.)
PIN management
With the just fixed PKCS#11 OpenSSL engine, the PIN should be entered
each time it is required. With the improved engine, the PIN should be
entered the first time it is required or can be configured in the
OpenSSL configuration file (aka. openssl.cnf) by adding in it:
- at the beginning:
openssl_conf = openssl_def
- at any place these sections:
[ openssl_def ]
engines = engine_section
[ engine_section ]
pkcs11 = pkcs11_section
[ pkcs11_section ]
PIN = put__your__pin__value__here
