CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Paul Mockapetris/ ISI
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.
