DNS and BIND: Setting Up, Managing and Securing Your DNS Server Training Course

DNS (domain name system) is the "phone book" of the internet, providing a directory of computer names and their IP addresses. BIND is the most common Linux implementation of DNS. When you open a website or send and receive an email, a DNS server somewhere is quietly addressing your message to its intended recipient.
In this training, participants will learn the critical features of DNS while carrying out exercises in the setup and configuration of a BIND DNS server on Linux. The course starts with a refresher on key networking principles, then digs into hands-on practice with setup and configuration. Steadily, the discussion and practices move towards more complex topics such as security, availability, debugging and troubleshooting.
