 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-05-30 - 7.4.3 - fix(dnsserver)
+Fix DNSSEC RRset signing, SOA record timeout issues, and add configurable primary nameserver support.
+
+- Fixed DNSSEC to sign entire RRsets together instead of individual records (one RRSIG per record type)
+- Fixed SOA record serialization by implementing proper wire format encoding in serializeRData method
+- Fixed RRSIG generation by using correct field names (signersName) and types (string typeCovered)
+- Added configurable primary nameserver via primaryNameserver option in IDnsServerOptions
+- Enhanced test coverage with comprehensive SOA and DNSSEC test scenarios
+
+## 2025-05-30 - 7.4.2 - fix(dnsserver)
+Enable multiple DNS record support by removing the premature break in processDnsRequest. Now the DNS server aggregates answers from all matching handlers for NS, A, and TXT records, and improves NS record serialization for DNSSEC.
+
+- Removed the break statement in processDnsRequest to allow all matching handlers to contribute responses.
+- Updated NS record serialization to properly handle domain names in DNSSEC context.
+- Enhanced tests for round-robin A records and multiple TXT records scenarios.
+
+## 2025-05-28 - 7.4.1 - fix(test/server)
+Fix force cleanup in DNS server tests by casting server properties before closing sockets
+
+- Cast server to any to safely invoke close() on httpsServer and udpServer in test cleanup
+- Ensures proper emergency cleanup of server sockets without direct access to private properties
+
 ## 2025-05-28 - 7.4.0 - feat(manual socket handling)
 Add comprehensive manual socket handling documentation for advanced DNS server use cases

-# DNS Server Interface Binding Implementation Plan
+# SmartDNS Improvement Plan
 
 Command to reread CLAUDE.md: `cat /home/philkunz/.claude/CLAUDE.md`
 
-## Overview ✅ COMPLETED
-Enable specific interface binding for the DNSServer class to allow binding to specific network interfaces instead of all interfaces (0.0.0.0).
+## Critical Issue: Support Multiple DNS Records of Same Type
 
-## Implementation Status: COMPLETED ✅
+### Current Status: ✅ IMPLEMENTED (v7.4.2)
+**Priority: HIGH** - This issue blocks proper DNS server operation and domain registration
 
-### What was implemented:
+## All Issues Fixed (v7.4.3)
 
-✅ **1. Updated IDnsServerOptions Interface**
-- Added optional `udpBindInterface?: string` property (defaults to '0.0.0.0')
-- Added optional `httpsBindInterface?: string` property (defaults to '0.0.0.0')
-- Located in `ts_server/classes.dnsserver.ts:5-11`
+### Successfully Implemented:
+1. ✅ **Multiple DNS Records Support** (v7.4.2) - Core fix allowing multiple handlers to contribute records
+2. ✅ **DNSSEC RRset Signing** - Now signs entire RRsets together instead of individual records
+3. ✅ **SOA Record Serialization** - Proper SOA record encoding for DNSSEC compatibility
+4. ✅ **Configurable Primary Nameserver** - Added `primaryNameserver` option to IDnsServerOptions
 
-✅ **2. Modified DnsServer.start() Method**
-- Updated UDP server binding to use `this.options.udpBindInterface || '0.0.0.0'`
-- Updated HTTPS server listening to use `this.options.httpsBindInterface || '0.0.0.0'`
-- Added IP address validation before binding
-- Updated console logging to show specific interface being bound
-- Located in `ts_server/classes.dnsserver.ts:699-752`
+### Problem Summary
+The DNS server currently exits after finding the first matching handler for a query, preventing it from serving multiple records of the same type (e.g., multiple NS records, multiple A records for round-robin, multiple TXT records).
 
-✅ **3. Added IP Address Validation**
-- Created `isValidIpAddress()` method supporting IPv4 and IPv6
-- Validates interface addresses before binding
-- Throws meaningful error messages for invalid addresses
-- Located in `ts_server/classes.dnsserver.ts:392-398`
+### Implementation Plan
 
-✅ **4. Updated Documentation**
-- Added dedicated "Interface Binding" section to readme.md
-- Included examples for localhost-only binding (`127.0.0.1`, `::1`)
-- Documented security considerations and use cases
-- Added examples for specific interface binding
+#### Phase 1: Analysis and Testing ✅ COMPLETED
+- [x] Create comprehensive test cases demonstrating the issue
+- [x] Test with multiple NS records scenario
+- [x] Test with multiple A records (round-robin) scenario
+- [x] Test with multiple TXT records scenario
+- [x] Document current behavior vs expected behavior
 
-✅ **5. Added Comprehensive Tests**
-- **localhost binding test**: Verifies binding to `127.0.0.1` instead of `0.0.0.0`
-- **Invalid IP validation test**: Ensures invalid IP addresses are rejected
-- **IPv6 support test**: Tests `::1` binding (with graceful fallback if IPv6 unavailable)
-- **Backwards compatibility**: Existing tests continue to work with default behavior
-- Located in `test/test.server.ts`
+#### Phase 2: Core Fix Implementation ✅ COMPLETED
+- [x] Remove the `break` statement in `processDnsRequest` method (line 609)
+- [x] Ensure all matching handlers are processed
+- [x] Accumulate all answers from matching handlers
+- [x] Add NS record serialization for DNSSEC support
 
-✅ **6. Updated restartHttpsServer Method**
-- Modified to respect interface binding options during certificate updates
-- Ensures Let's Encrypt certificate renewal maintains interface binding
+#### Phase 3: Handler Interface Enhancement (Optional)
+- [ ] Consider allowing handlers to return arrays of records
+- [ ] Update `IDnsHandler` interface to support `DnsAnswer | DnsAnswer[] | null`
+- [ ] Update processing logic to handle array responses
+- [ ] Maintain backward compatibility with existing handlers
 
-## ✅ Implementation Results
+#### Phase 4: Testing and Validation
+- [ ] Test multiple NS records return correctly
+- [ ] Test round-robin DNS with multiple A records
+- [ ] Test multiple TXT records (SPF + DKIM + verification)
+- [ ] Test DNSSEC signatures for multiple records
+- [ ] Verify no regression in single-record scenarios
 
-### Test Results
-All interface binding functionality has been successfully tested:
+#### Phase 5: Documentation and Examples
+- [ ] Update documentation with multiple record examples
+- [ ] Add example for registering multiple NS records
+- [ ] Add example for round-robin DNS setup
+- [ ] Document best practices for handler registration
 
-```bash
-✅ should bind to localhost interface only (318ms)
-   - UDP DNS server running on 127.0.0.1:8085
-   - HTTPS DNS server running on 127.0.0.1:8084
+### Technical Details
 
-✅ should reject invalid IP addresses (151ms)
-   - Validates IP address format correctly
-   - Throws meaningful error messages
-
-✅ should work with IPv6 localhost if available
-   - Gracefully handles IPv6 unavailability in containerized environments
-```
-
-### Benefits Achieved
-- ✅ Enhanced security by allowing localhost-only binding
-- ✅ Support for multi-homed servers with specific interface requirements
-- ✅ Better isolation in containerized environments
-- ✅ Backwards compatible (defaults to current behavior)
-- ✅ IP address validation with clear error messages
-- ✅ IPv4 and IPv6 support
-
-## Example Usage (Now Available)
+#### Current Code Issue (ts_server/classes.dnsserver.ts:609)
 ```typescript
-// Bind to localhost only
-const dnsServer = new DnsServer({
-  httpsKey: cert.key,
-  httpsCert: cert.cert,
-  httpsPort: 443,
-  udpPort: 53,
-  dnssecZone: 'example.com',
-  udpBindInterface: '127.0.0.1',
-  httpsBindInterface: '127.0.0.1'
-});
-
-// Bind to specific interface
-const dnsServer = new DnsServer({
-  // ... other options
-  udpBindInterface: '192.168.1.100',
-  httpsBindInterface: '192.168.1.100'
-});
+answered = true;
+break; // <-- This prevents multiple handlers from contributing answers
 ```
 
-## Files to Modify
-1. `ts_server/classes.dnsserver.ts` - Interface and implementation
-2. `readme.md` - Documentation updates
-3. `test/test.server.ts` - Add interface binding tests
+#### Proposed Fix
+```typescript
+answered = true;
+// Continue processing other handlers instead of breaking
+```
 
-## Testing Strategy
-- Unit tests for interface validation
-- Integration tests for binding behavior
-- Error handling tests for invalid interfaces
-- Backwards compatibility tests
+### Success Criteria
+- DNS queries return ALL matching records from ALL matching handlers
+- Domain registration with multiple NS records succeeds
+- Round-robin DNS works with multiple A records
+- Multiple TXT records can be served for the same domain
+- DNSSEC signatures are properly generated for all returned records
+
+### Implementation Summary
+
+#### What Was Fixed
+1. **Core Issue Resolved**: Removed the `break` statement at line 609 in `processDnsRequest` that was preventing multiple handlers from contributing DNS answers
+2. **NS Record Serialization**: Added NS record type support in `serializeRData` method for DNSSEC compatibility
+3. **Result**: DNS server now correctly returns multiple records of the same type from different handlers
+
+#### Test Results
+- ✅ Multiple NS records now work (2+ nameservers returned)
+- ✅ Round-robin DNS with multiple A records works
+- ✅ Multiple TXT records (SPF, DKIM, verification) work
+- ⚠️ DNSSEC RRSIG generation needs additional fixes for multiple record scenarios
+
+#### Code Changes
+```typescript
+// Before (line 609):
+answered = true;
+break;  // This was preventing multiple handlers from running
+
+// After:
+answered = true;
+// Continue processing other handlers to allow multiple records
+```
+
+## Next Steps and Future Improvements
+
+### Released in v7.4.2
+The critical issue of supporting multiple DNS records of the same type has been successfully implemented and released in version 7.4.2.
+
+## Comprehensive Fix Plan for Remaining Issues
+
+Command to reread CLAUDE.md: `cat /home/philkunz/.claude/CLAUDE.md`
+
+### Outstanding Issues to Address
+
+#### 1. DNSSEC RRSIG Generation for Multiple Records
+**Status**: Pending  
+**Priority**: Medium  
+**Issue**: When multiple records of the same type are returned with DNSSEC enabled, the RRSIG generation may encounter issues with the current implementation. Each record gets its own RRSIG instead of signing the entire RRset together.
+
+**Implementation Plan**:
+1. Modify `processDnsRequest` to collect all records of the same type before signing
+2. Create a map to group answers by record type
+3. After all handlers have been processed, sign each RRset as a whole
+4. Generate one RRSIG per record type (not per record)
+5. Update tests to verify proper DNSSEC RRset signing
+6. Ensure canonical ordering of records in RRset for consistent signatures
+
+**Code Changes**:
+- Refactor the DNSSEC signing logic in `processDnsRequest`
+- Move RRSIG generation outside the handler loop
+- Group records by type before signing
+
+#### 2. SOA Record Timeout Issues  
+**Status**: Not Started  
+**Priority**: Low  
+**Issue**: SOA queries sometimes timeout or return incorrect data, possibly related to incomplete SOA record serialization.
+
+**Implementation Plan**:
+1. Implement proper SOA record serialization in `serializeRData` method
+2. Ensure all SOA fields are properly encoded in wire format
+3. Add comprehensive SOA record tests
+4. Verify SOA responses with standard DNS tools (dig, nslookup)
+
+**Code Changes**:
+- Implement SOA serialization in `serializeRData` method
+- Add SOA-specific test cases
+
+#### 3. Configurable DNSSEC Zone Prefix
+**Status**: Not Started  
+**Priority**: Low  
+**Issue**: The server hardcodes 'ns1.' prefix for SOA mname field which may not match actual nameserver names.
+
+**Implementation Plan**:
+1. Add `primaryNameserver` option to `IDnsServerOptions`
+2. Default to `ns1.{dnssecZone}` if not provided
+3. Update SOA record generation to use configurable nameserver
+4. Update documentation with new option
+5. Add tests for custom primary nameserver configuration
+
+**Code Changes**:
+- Add `primaryNameserver?: string` to `IDnsServerOptions`
+- Update SOA mname field generation logic
+- Update constructor to handle the new option
+
+### Testing Recommendations
+- Test DNSSEC validation with multiple records using `dig +dnssec`
+- Verify SOA records with `dig SOA`
+- Test custom nameserver configuration
+- Validate with real-world DNS resolvers (Google DNS, Cloudflare)
