Cricket Liu: „Nur wer DNS-Grundlagen sauber implementiert, wird mit Konzepten wie SOA Erfolg haben“
[05/21/08] Das Domain Name System (DNS) bildet das Rückgrat für die Bestimmung von Servernamen im Internet. Dabei sind überwiegend zwei Softwarequellen im Einsatz: die frei verfügbare Bind-Software des ISC (Internet Software Consortium) sowie die Implementierung von Microsoft, die im Rahmen den Windows Server-Versionen im Lieferumfang enthalten ist. Cricket Liu, Spezialist zum Thema DNS und Autor der DNS-Bibel aus dem O`Reilly Verlag, sieht hier ein enormes Optimierungspotenzial.

Unsichere Name-Server
[11/17/07] Einer Studie von Infoblox zufolge hat sich die Sicherheit von DNS-Servern im Vergleich zum Vorjahr nur teilweise verbessert und zahlreiche Server seien nach wie vor unsicher konfiguriert. Infoblox [1] hat nach eigenen Angaben in der dritten jährlichen Studie zur Sicherheit von DNS-Servern nur mäßige Verbesserungen im Bereich der Sicherheit festgestellt. So sei zwar die Nutzung von BIND 9 auf 65 Prozent im Vergleich zu 61 Prozent im Vorjahr gestiegen, während nur noch zu 2,7 Prozent Microsoft DNS Server zum Einsatz kämen (2006: 5 Prozent). Dennoch seien nach wie vor zahlreiche Domain-Name-Server unsicher konfiguriert.
