New Features in DNS and BIND
At the January 16th meeting of the Front Range UNIX Users Group Cricket Liu will give a talk on new features in DNS and BIND.
The meeting will begin at 4:00 MST. We've noticed that a lot of people seem to leave at 5:30, so we took a quick poll at the last meeting to see if people would like to start earlier. The result was that people would like to keep the meeting time at 4:00 but start on time. Since we usually have the room scheduled at 3:30, those who enjoy the 15 minutes of pre-meeting networking should arrive at 3:45.
The Domain Name System (DNS) and its BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) implementation support the resolution of all common Internet domain names, such as FRUUG.ORG. Cricket Liu co-wrote the O'Reilly & Associates Nutshell Handbook DNS and BIND, and recently completed the second edition. His talk will give a brief overview of the operation of DNS and then focus on the latest releases of BIND, 4.9.4 and 4.9.5. He will also discuss how DNS and BIND are being changed to respond to the explosive growth of the Internet. We expect to have a copy of the latest edition of his book to give away.
Cricket Liu spent nearly ten years with Hewlett-Packard and founded HP's Internet consulting program. His newly-formed company, Acme Byte & Wire, specializes in consulting and training in DNS and Internet security. He is the co-author of DNS and BIND and the principal author of another O'Reilly & Associate Nutshell Handbook, Managing Internet Information Services.
A few copies of the 2nd edition of DNS and BIND will be given away at the meeting.
The next meeting of the Front Range UNIX Users Group will be in room 123 of the
CU Academic Computing Center building at Arapahoe and Marine Streets in
Boulder.
Marine St intersects Arapahoe at 38th St; the Computing Center is on the
southwest
corner.
At our last meeting Joe VanAndel presented the NT system from a UNIX user's point of view. His slides and references are available.
See the previous meetings page on the Fruug web site for more detail.
