How do you: - Prevent unauthorized zone transfers from accessing the Domain Name Server (DNS) database (called a "zone" file), - Reduce the exposure to DNS content corruption through either dynamic updates to the zone file or "cache pollution" (also called DNS spoofing or cache poisoning), - Identify tools for checking the zone files and delegations for correct entries, and - Identify other useful DNS resources. On thursday 28th of Augast, kindly join Godwin Poriot as he takes us through this training session. This Topic provides DNS operators, "hostmasters", with suggestions and techniques for securing and improving the operation of their servers. It also guides them to useful tool and information resources. This topic has no applicability to networks that are not using DNS for host name resolution. Improperly configured DNS servers generally slow or prevent proper connection of client application to their intended servers. Improper configuration can also lead to blocked and possibly miss-delivered e-mail, the "hijacking" of web sites or other services, and in the extreme, the root or administrative compromise of the system on which DNS is running. The services provided by the cooperative operation of DNS servers worldwide are necessary for the proper function of the Internet and for Intranets as well. -------------------------------------------------------------- To join the training session --------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

We Hope to see you there *About EANOG:* · *EANOG (East African Network Operators Group) was started to bring together network operators and anyone aspiring to become one or just hang out with one**J* · *EANOG provides a forum to discuss operational issues and technologies of interest to data network engineers in the East African region. We meet at the IHUB once every two months.* · *While the main objective is educational, it also gives vendors a chance to talk to engineers about newer technology and products on the sidelines.* · *Engineers get to network and discuss their experiences and general areas of improvement.* Skype: Frankie.Onuonga
