DNS in the Enterprise / Tarsnap (May 12th, 2015 Regular MUG Meeting)

We meet at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month at the Farmington Community Library.

Topics include:

DNS in the Enterprise

It's often been said that DNS is the phonebook of the Internet, but it's muuch more than that.  David Wood will explain how to setup Bind 9 as a master DNS server to host multiple zones and reverse zones. Slave server configuration will also be explained as well as cache-only and forwarders. David will also detail how to configure Bind for each case and how to secure the configuration.

David is a Technical Account Manager at Red Hat. He spent years as a Red Hat Consultant and worked in the defense industry. He maintained infrastructure servers including DNS, Web, Proxy, and LDAP for over 5 years with a focus on Linux/Unix security.

Tarsnap

Tarsnap (www.tarsnap.com) bills itself as "online backup for the truly paranoid." Tarsnap's deduplication lets you compress your backups by a factor of hundreds or thousands to one, and the client-side encryption means that the service cannot leak your data even if they want to. All this gets wrapped up in a familiar tar(1) interface, in a service priced in picodollars per gigabyte. 

Bio: Michael W. Lucas is a critically-acclaimed author from Detroit, Michigan. He’s the “writes books” sort of author, not the “hire him to write your stuff” author. His non-fiction books include Networking for Systems Administrators, FreeBSD Mastery: Storage Essentials, Sudo Mastery, and Absolute OpenBSD, 2nd Edition. His latest book is "Tarsnap Mastery." 

Plus we'll have our usual features: Jobs Looking for People, People Looking for Jobs, news, discussion, and much much more. We also meet at Re Lobster after the meeting for a late-dinner.

Hope to see you there!
