Learn
the Essentials of DNS, BIND and DNSSEC
 Merit
is pleased to host two classes led by the Internet Systems
Consortium (ISC) in Ann Arbor this October. ISC is a non-profit
organization that had a foundational role in the
development of DNS; today ISC continues to lead the
development of BIND, by far the most commonly used DNS
server application on the Internet.
- Introduction
to DNS and BIND, October 24-25, is a
two-day boot camp on the essentials of DNS and BIND. DNS remains an
essential part of network infrastructure, providing
translation between IP addresses and domain names and
identifying each host by name. Every organization that
provides network services for its users should have at
least one staff person who is well trained on the
principles of DNS and with the operation of BIND.
- DNSSEC
Implementation and Deployment Workshop,
October 26-28, is a three-day introduction to Domain
Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), a set of
IETF specifications for securing information within
DNS. DNSSEC allows DNS clients to authenticate the
origin of domain name data, thus improving data
integrity. DNSSEC is gradually being adopted and
deployed by operators of the top-level domains, and
DNSSEC will continue to grow as a standard feature of
DNS deployment.
Merit is pleased to make these workshops available to
Merit Members for 40% off their standard commercial rates,
and to other non-profits at a 25% discount. Merit Members
who attend both workshops receive an additional $100
discount.
Who should attend?
Introduction to
DNS and BIND will be useful for any system
administrator or networking professional who needs a solid
understanding of DNS. It will serve as an excellent primer
for those who have not worked with DNS before, and as an
in-depth review and development opportunity for those with
DNS experience.
DNSSEC
Implementation and Deployment Workshop is
appropriate for networking professionals who are
considering implementing DNSSEC for their organizational
DNS architecture. It will provide a solid grounding in
DNSSEC and the steps and considerations in deploying it.
