Who Should Attend, What They Should Know, What They Will Learn

This half-day course is designed for domain administrators currently running a version of BIND 8 on their systems who wish to upgrade to the most recent version of BIND. The architecture model for BIND 9 is quite different from that of BIND 8. This course will explain the differences between the two versions. Features that are new to BIND 9 will be highlighted, and explanations provided regarding how best to take advantage of them.

Attendees should already have a basic understanding of the Internet and Unix operating systems, and be comfortable with editing files and installing software on their systems. It is expected that attendees can create zone files for domains and subdomains and the in-addr.arpa domain, create BIND 8 configuration files with zone and option statements, set up resolvers, handle common tasks and problems with name servers, and use various tools for name server management and troubleshooting.

Course outline:
