Until recently, learning CoreDNS required reading the code or combing through the skimpy documentation on the website. No longer. With this practical book, developers and operators working with Docker or Linux containers will learn how to use this standard DNS server with Kubernetes. John Belamaric, senior staff software engineer at Google, and Cricket Liu, chief DNS architect at Infoblox, show you how to configure CoreDNS using real-world configuration examples to achieve specific purposes. You’ll learn the basics of DNS, including how it functions as a location broker in container environments and how it ties into Kubernetes. Dive into DNS theory: the DNS namespace, domain names, domains, and zones Learn how to configure your CoreDNS server Manage and serve basic and advanced zone data with CoreDNS Configure CoreDNS service discovery with etcd and Kubernetes Learn one of the most common use cases for CoreDNS: the integration with Kubernetes Manipulate queries and responses as they flow through the plug-in chain Monitor and troubleshoot the availability and performance of your DNS service Build custom versions of CoreDNS and write your own plug-ins

DNS and BIND tells you everything you need to work with one of the Internet's fundamental building blocks: the distributed host information database that's responsible for translating names into addresses, routing mail to its proper destination, and even listing phone numbers with the new ENUM standard. This book brings you up-to-date with the latest changes in this crucial service. The fifth edition covers BIND 9.3.2, the most recent release of the BIND 9 series, as well as BIND 8.4.7. BIND 9.3.2 contains further improvements in security and IPv6 support, and important new features such as internationalized domain names, ENUM (electronic numbering), and SPF (the Sender Policy Framework). Whether you're an administrator involved with DNS on a daily basis or a user who wants to be more informed about the Internet and how it works, you'll find that this book is essential reading. Topics include: What DNS does, how it works, and when you need to use it How to find your own place in the Internet's namespace Setting up name servers Using MX records to route mail Configuring hosts to use DNS name servers Subdividing domains (parenting) Securing your name server: restricting who can query your server, preventing unauthorized zone transfers, avoiding bogus servers, etc. The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) and Transaction Signatures (TSIG) Mapping one name to several servers for load sharing Dynamic updates, asynchronous notification of change to a zone, and incremental zone transfers Troubleshooting: using nslookup and dig, reading debugging output, common problems DNS programming using the resolver library and Perl's Net::DNS module

Das DNS & BIND Kochbuch bietet Nameserver-Administratoren eine Sammlung praktischer Lösungen für die bei der alltäglichen Arbeit häufig auftretenden Problemfälle. Es stellt damit eine sinnvolle Ergänzung zu dem Bestseller DNS und BIND dar. Während dieser detailliert die DNS-Theorie und BIND-Konfiguration erklärt, enthält das Kochbuch ausdrücklich keine Theorie, sondern bietet ausschließlich praktische Rezepte mit reinen Problemlösungen für gängige - und auch weniger gängige - Aufgaben der Nameserver-Konfiguration. Das Kochbuch enthält Dutzende von Rezepten, die Lösungen für Probleme aller Art bieten: von einfachen Fragen wie "Woher bekomme ich BIND?" bis hin zu fortgeschrittenen Themen wie der Bereitstellung von Namensdiensten für IPv6-Adressen. Es enthält außerdem viele BIND-Konfigurationsdateien, die Sie an die Bedürfnisse Ihrer Site anpassen können. Behandelt werden die Versionen BIND 8.3.3 und 9.2.1 mit einem Ausblick auf BIND 9.3.0. Die Rezepte in diesem Buch umfassen u.a. folgende Themen: Die Registrierung von Domain-Namen und Nameservern Das Anlegen von Zonendaten-Dateien Die Round Robin-Lastverteilung Die Nameserver-Sicherheit Dynamische Updates Die Konfiguration von Backup-Mail-Servern Die Delegation von Subdomainen und ihre Überprüfung Sichere Zonentransfers Anti-SPAM-Tests Den Einsatz von IPv6 Upgrades auf BIND 9 Interoperabilität zwischen den BIND-Versionen Interoperabilität zwischen BIND und dem Microsoft-DNS-Server Logging und Troubleshooting.

Besides covering general issues like installing, setting up, and maintaining the server, "DNS on Windows 2000" tackles those specific to the Windows environment: integration between DNS and Active Directory, conversion from BIND to the Microsoft DNS server, and registry settings. Readers will acquire a grounding in security issues, system tuning, caching, zone change notification, troubleshooting, and planning for growth.

DNS and BIND on IPv6

If you're preparing to roll out IPv6 on your network, this concise book provides the essentials you need to support this protocol with DNS. You'll learn how DNS was extended to accommodate IPv6 addresses, and how you can configure a BIND name server to run on the network. This book also features methods for troubleshooting problems with IPv6 forward- and reverse-mapping, and techniques for helping islands of IPv6 clients communicate with IPv4 resources. Topics include: DNS and IPv6—Learn the structure and representation of IPv6 addresses, and the syntaxes of AAAA and PTR records in the ip6.arpa IPv6 reverse-mapping zone BIND on IPv6—Use IPv6 addresses and networks in ACLs, and register and delegate to IPv6-speaking name servers Resolver Configuration—Configure popular stub resolvers (Linux/Unix, MacOS X, and Windows) to query IPv6-speaking name servers DNS64—Learn about the transition technology that allows clients with IPv6-only network stacks to communicate with IPv4 servers Troubleshooting—Use the nslookup and dig troubleshooting tools to look up the IPv6 addresses of a domain name, or reverse-map an IPv6 address to a domain name

DNS for the Next-Generation Internet

Robbie Allen

While computers and other devices identify each other on networks or the Internet by using unique addresses made up of numbers, humans rely on the Domain Name System (DNS), the distributed database that allows us to identify machines by name. DNS does the work of translating domain names into numerical IP addresses, routing mail to its proper destination, and many other services, so that users require little or no knowledge of the system. If you're a network or system administrator, however, configuring, implementing, and maintaining DNS zones can be a formidable challenge. And now, with Windows Server 2003, an understanding of the workings of DNS is even more critical. DNS on Windows Server 20003 is a special Windows-oriented edition of the classic DNS and BIND, updated to document the many changes to DNS, large and small, found in Windows Server 2003. Veteran O'Reilly authors, Cricket Liu, Matt Larson, and Robbie Allen explain the whole system in terms of the new Windows Server 2003, from starting and stopping a DNS service to establishing an organization's namespace in the global hierarchy. Besides covering general issues like installing, setting up, and maintaining the server, DNS on Windows Server 2003 tackles the many issues specific to the new Windows environment, including the use of the dnscmd program to manage the Microsoft DNS Server from the command line and development using the WMI DNS provider to manage the name server programmatically. The book also documents new features of the Microsoft DNS Server in Windows Server 2003, including conditional forwarding and zone storage in Active Directory (AD) application partitions. DNS on Windows Server 2003 provides grounding in: Security issues System tuning Caching Zone change notification Troubleshooting Planning for growth If you're a Windows administrator, DNS on Windows Server 2003 is the operations manual you need for working with DNS every day. If you're a Windows user who simply wants to take the mystery out of the Internet, this book is a readable introduction to the Internet's architecture and inner workings.

Mastering the Domain Name System

DNS on Windows Server 2003

A complete guide to the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS) servers that run on Windows NT Server, this title concentrates on the version Microsoft released after Service Pack 3. The book also mentions other DNS servers that run on NT, especially ports of BIND, the popular UNIX implementation of the DNS specifications.

DNS on Windows NT

This text covers the 9.1.0 and 8.2.3 versions of BIND as well as the older 4.9 version. There's also more extensive coverage of NOTIFY, IPv6 forward and reverse mapping, transaction signatures, and the DNS Security Extensions.
