From: gnhlug-announce@mail.gnhlug.org Date: March 9, 2004 Hello world, What: Introduction to the Internet Domain Name System (DNS) Who: Ben Scott Where: Martha's Exchange, Nashua, NH Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 Time: Presentation at 7:30 PM; dinner starts around 6:00 PM I have agreed to give a presentation on DNS at this month's Nashua LUG meeting. This will be a technical presentation, but will assume little prior knowledge of DNS. Anyone interested is encouraged to attend, and as always, we welcome newcomers and old-hands alike. The presentation will be preceded by the usual informal dinner downstairs, and followed by the usual general chit-chat and Q&A. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a mechanism that lets computers on the Internet (including yours!) find each other. I intend to cover basic DNS concepts, including purpose, structure, and record types. I will then go over how name resolution actually works on a typical Linux system. Time permitting, I want to get into how one configures ISC BIND's "named" to be a DNS server. Audience feedback will determine the pacing, so if you have an interest or a problem to solve, please bring it with you. If you have any advance questions, suggestions, or requests, please feel free to contact me off-list. Cheers! -- Ben Scott _______________________________________________ gnhlug-announce mailing list gnhlug-announce@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-announce
