Root DNS Zone Now DNSSEC Signed
r00tyroot writes with news that slipped by yesterday, quoting from the Internet Systems Consortium's release: "ISC joined other key participants of the Internet technical community in celebrating the achievement of a significant milestone for the Domain Name System today as the root zone was digitally signed for the first time. This marked the deployment of the DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) at the top level of the DNS hierarchy and ushers the way forward for further roll-out of DNSSEC in the top level domains and DNS Service Providers."
Can we still root outside the zone? I haven't had a root in a while, but there's always the possibility.
What should DNS server administrators do to sign our own domains, and configure our servers to pay attention to DNSSEC when performing lookups?
I learned how to configure BIND a decade ago, and it's mostly just been smooth sailing since then. I have no idea what's involved in setting up DNSSEC, whether it's something I can figure out how to enable in 20 minutes or a huge project that really won't be feasible for me to undertake at all. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
It's apparently been over a decade since you've tried to look up information on the internet too. We no longer use gopher. There's this new thing called HTTP and WWW. There's also an upstart new search engine company that'll probably die out in a few years--but you can use them here.
;)
There's no place like
What is this gopher thing you write about?
Is it newer than telnet?
I have no problem with your religion until you decide it's reason to deprive others of the truth.
and good for them.
at least they'll do something with that data, rather than let it sit in a log somewhere never to be looked at!
