[gnhlug-announce] Meeting - Wed 24 Mar 2004 - Nashua - Introduction to DNS

[bscott at ntisys.com]

Hello world,

   What: Introduction to the Internet Domain Name System (DNS)
    Who: Ben Scott <bscott at ntisys.com>
  Where: Martha's Exchange, Nashua, NH
   Date: Wed, 24 Dec 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!
