This tutorial is intended for DNS administrators looking to broaden
and deepen their understanding of how to configure and operate name
servers. Topics include name server management with rndc and
configuring BIND9's logging facilities. DNS for IPv6 devices and its
deployment issues will be explained. The tutorial will show how to
use Dynamic Updates to update zone contents instead of editing zone
files. A short explanation of the interoperability issues between DNS
and Active Directory will also be covered.
Topics included:
- Using the Logging subsystem:
- Getting the most from the name server's logging capabilities
- Managing the name server with rndc
- Configuring split DNS:
- Internal and external versions of a domain
- Using the views mechanism of BIND9 to implement split DNS
- IPv6 Deployment considerations for DNS
- Dynamic DNS (DDNS):
- Dynamic updates with nsupdate
- DDNS and Active Directory
Who should attend?
DNS administrators who wish to extend their understanding of how to
configure and manage name servers running BIND9. Attendees should
have some experience of running a BIND8 or BIND9 name server and be
familiar with DNS jargon for resource records, as well as the syntax
of zone files and named.conf. This tutorial will answer the question,
"I've set up master (primary) and slave (secondary) name servers. What
else can I do with the name server?"
