Description
Hello.
Sorry for opening another issue. This ties up with #355 but it's a separate issue so I opened a new one to make tracking easier and to avoid mixing up the two.
The problem here is that trying to send a dynamic update where the wire message would be bigger than the maximum DNS message length of 65535 results in DNSJava silently truncating the records and sending a partial update.
This is because the toWire(Message.MAXLENGTH) call here will just truncate the recrods and set the truncated flag. I believe that's implemented for UDP splitting, but when the overall message is bigger than the maxiumum allowed by a DNS message the library should fail instead of proceeding with a partial update without any warning.
A small repro, again in Kotlin, that shows that only part of the records get sent and no exception is thrown:
import org.xbill.DNS.DClass
import org.xbill.DNS.Message
import org.xbill.DNS.Name
import org.xbill.DNS.SimpleResolver
import org.xbill.DNS.TXTRecord
import org.xbill.DNS.Update
import org.xbill.DNS.io.IoClientFactory
import org.xbill.DNS.io.TcpIoClient
import org.xbill.DNS.io.UdpIoClient
import java.util.UUID
import java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture
fun main() {
val update = Update(Name.fromConstantString("zone.example.com."))
repeat(2000) { i ->
val record = TXTRecord(
Name.fromConstantString("name-$i.zone.example.com."),
DClass.IN,
900,
UUID.randomUUID().toString(),
)
update.add(record)
}
val resolver = SimpleResolver().apply {
ioClientFactory = object : IoClientFactory {
override fun createOrGetTcpClient(): TcpIoClient {
return TcpIoClient { local, remote, query, data, timeout ->
println("Message that is being sent: ")
println(Message(data).toString())
CompletableFuture.failedFuture(Exception())
}
}
override fun createOrGetUdpClient(): UdpIoClient {
TODO("Not yet implemented")
}
}
}
resolver.send(update)
}This outputs:

As you can see all records from 1128 to 1999 are silently missing from the update.
