Date: Thur 11 Oct 2007
Time: 7:00 PM

This Thursday, at MonadLUG in Peterborough, Ben Scott will be
presenting on DNS, the Domain Name System.

== About the presentation ==

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.

=== About the speaker ===

Ben is a local Linux user, enthusiast, and advocate.  He handles the
care and feeding of the GNHLUG Internet server, and is a GNHLUG
Bored^W Board Member.
