- Minutes:
-
- The DNS WG met at PSC on thursday, and worked on three issues:
-
- 1. Future deployment of root name servers.
- Several parties believe that a better allocation of root servers is
- possible. A review of the current set suggests that while it is
- not time for a change yet, the end of the ARPANET suggests that
- more emphasis should be placed on locating root servers close to
- NSSes.
- In addition, political and technical sentiment for root name
- servers in Europe (and probably the Pacific as well) is growing.
- This could lead to unfortunate technical results since root servers
- see a lot of traffic and current algorithms could easily load
- proposed "fat pipes" to Europe. The political results could be
- unfortunate if root servers were deployed unwisely in Europe.
- The issues here are complicated. Paul Mockapetris promised to
- write a white paper on the subject.
- 2. Domain debugging tools.
- A new tool, called DOC, was described. DOC examines database
- associated with a particular zone and checks to see if it is set up
- correctly. This involves a lot of use of DIG and some grinding on
- the results.
- A test group for the new DOC and DIG tools was formed, with a
- mailing list at DANDY@ISI.EDU. The tools will be released to the
- general public after a beta test period.
- 3. New chair.
- Paul Mockapetris resigned as chair because of new duties. Phil
- Almquist (Almquist@jessica.stanford.edu) agreed to take over.
