DNSSEC: What Every Sysadmin Should be Doing to Keep Things Working

Authors:

Abstract:

Unless you've been sipping cold lemon daiquiris on a beach for the past five years, you will know that there's this thing called DNSSEC out there. But did you know that you may be using it without being aware of it? And that the firewall nobody dares touch on your network may be messing with DNSSEC and causing you problems? This talk will focus on what every sysadmin should know about DNSSEC and should be aware of when setting up a DNS server and a firewall based on real world problems and experiences.
