2-Day BIND 10 Workshop
BIND 10 is the next generation of BIND, the most widely-used DNS server on the Internet. It is a modular server that includes an authoritative DNS server, a recursive DNS server, a DNSSEC signer and a DHCP server for IPv4 and IPv6. BIND 10 is in beta release in Feb 2013, with the first production release to be expected in Q2. Additional information on BIND 10 can be found at http://bind10.isc.org.
This is a classroom-style course with lecture and hands-on labs. Limited seating. The class is geared towards sysadmins and network administrators with basic knowledge on DNS. Knowledge on BIND 9 is not required.
Students are expected to be familiar with the UNIX environment (file structure, basic utilities) and with text editing in UNIX (vi or nano editor). A basic knowledge of TCP/IP addressing is also helpful but not required.
