Description
The LocalRoot project at ISI, driven by Wes Hardaker, is a project that allows users to:
- Deploy a securely-obtained and pre-cached copy of the root and other zones in resolvers
- Easily implement and deploy a pre-caching technology (like, but not equal to, RFC8806)
- Receive DNS notifications when the root and other zones change
- Perform research about the DNS root and other zones
A talk at DNS-OARC would concentrate on two aspects:
- The background behind LocalRoot and its architecture
- Recent updates in the infrastructure and new features, which include:
- IPv6 support
- LocalRoot now has three upstream name-serves to serve mirrored domains
- Suport added for generation of additional nameserver configuration:
- Bind
- Unbound
- NSD
- LocalRoot infrastructure is now in place to mirror zones other than just the root. Currently available zones for mirroring:
- . (The root zone)
- .arpa
- root-servers.net
- dnssec-tools.org
- Infrastructure is in place for E-Mailing LocalRoot announcements and error tracking (automated monitoring of your systems coming soon)
- Selection of E-Mail notifications can be set in the new account preferences page.
- Multiple usability improvements (its now possible to delete keys, servers, etc)
