The Domain Name System: Registration to Publication

The hierarchical Domain Name System (DNS) is based on simple query and response principles. While not elusive, DNS has grown to a critical service that embraces its own intricacies. Mitchell will take a step-by-step practical approach to authoritative zone hosting. The talk will begin with registering a domain name and conclude with hosting the zone on two BIND 9 instances. Each step of the way, we'll explore the hierarchy and architecture of the DNS.
