WG Agenda for RIPE50
by Jim Reid 05 May '05

05 May '05

The WG Agenda for RIPE50 is now being compiled. Please send details of any suggestions or contributions to the WG chairs: dns-wg-chair(a)ripe.net. Thanks. Note that a new structure for RIPE meetings will be tried in Stockholm. Reports from other meetings -- eg IETF, CENTR -- are supposed to now go in the extended plenary at the start of the week. Detailed technical and policy discussions are intended for the WG sessions at the end of the week. At this time it's too early to say when the WG will meet and for how long. The meeting plan won't be finalised until there's a better idea of what's on the agendas of each WG. So it will help us to help you by letting us know what should be on the WG agenda in Stockholm.

Comparison of Delegation Checker (v 2.0 and v 2.1)
by Olaf M. Kolkman 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Dear Colleagues, This message is about the DNS delegation checks performed when you update DOMAIN objects by requesting the updating of a delegation in the reverse address trees. We have recently updated the web interface to use version 2.1 of the back-end library (Net::DelCheck) while the whois database still uses version 2.0. We would like to ask the DNS Working Group to provide feedback on the version that is now available through the web interface. After considering the feedback, we plan to install the module for use with the whois database. We plan to do this after RIPE 50 (May 2 - 6) as part of a regular whois database upgrade. You can find the delegation checker web interface at: http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/delcheck/delcheck2.cgi You can find a list of the error codes returned by version 2.1 of the delegation checker at: http://www.ripe.net/rs/reverse/delcheck/delchecker_descr.html Detailed explanations of the most important differences between the tests that are currently running on the whois database (v 2.0) and those available through the web interface (v 2.1) can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/rs/reverse/changes.html This message relates to an earlier message to this list [1] and action item 48.2 [2]. Regards, Olaf M. Kolkman RIPE NCC [1] http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/dns-wg/2004/msg00172.html [2] http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/dns/dns-actions.html

Re: [dns-wg] Changes to RIPE DNS Infrastructure
by Jim Reid 18 Apr '05

Thanks for this announcement. However I'm surprised and disappointed that the NCC didn't discuss the reorganisation with the DNS WG. Where will the ENUM zones that are/were on ns.ripe.net live once these changes have been done?

Changes to RIPE DNS Infrastructure
by RIPE NCC Operations 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

Apologies for duplicate messages Dear Colleagues As part of our ongoing preparations for DNSSEC deployment., we have recently made some changes to the RIPE NCC DNS Server infrastructure. Our main DNS server (ns.ripe.net) held a significant amount of primary in-addr.arpa zones and secondary copies of many zones on behalf of other parties. We have split this into several servers as follows. · ns.ripe.net This contains no primary, but many secondary zones. · ns-pri.ripe.net This contains all zones for which RIPE is primary. · ns-[CountryCode].ripe.net This contains all Country Code Top level Domain (CCTLD) zones for which RIPE is secondary. · ns-sec.ripe.net We will deploy this server soon, it currently contains no zones. We are working towards the following: · ns.ripe.net - This will contain /16 IPv4 reverse and /32 IPv6 secondary reverse zones. · ns-pri.ripe.net - This will contain all zones for which RIPE is primary. · ns-[CountryCode].ripe.net - This will contain ccTLD zones for which RIPE is secondary. · ns-sec.ripe.net - This will contain all zones for which RIPE is secondary (excluding those on ns andns-tld). We will soon contact users to arrange moving zones from ns to ns-sec. This information was correct on 12 April 2005. Regards Brett Carr System Engineer RIPE NCC

(Open) DNS WG Action Items
by Peter Koch 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

Dear All, the list of action items at <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/dns/dns-actions.html> has been updated. As agreed upon at RIPE 49, item 48.3 (pointer to the list of reverse delegation checks) is marked "done", since there was no discussion after Olaf had sent the information. As always, the topic may be subject to discussion again in the future should anyone feel the need and propose changes. During the WG meeting in Stockholm there will be presentations and/or progress reports on the remaining items. Please review the list and send questions and contributions to the identified action item owner or to this list. -Peter

I'm forwarding the announcement below on behalf of the ETSI Plugtest Secretariat. Any questions about the event should be sent to the address below. Apologies to those of you who've already seen this in the ENUM WG or IETF mailing lists. Dear All, We are pleased to invite you to the ENUM interoperability event, 30th May to 3rd June 2005 at ETSI Headquarters, Sophia Antipolis, France. The emerging technology of ENUM is attracting a lot of interest. By mapping telephone numbers to domain names, and from those to URLs, ENUM will be a key driver for the increasing convergence between the internet and telephony worlds. The ETSI ENUM Plugtests event will provide a vendor-neutral setting for equipment manufacturers, operators, ISPs, registries, software companies and system integrators to carry out controlled interoperability and conformance testing. It is a chance to discover ENUM system behaviour with misconfigured clients, servers, and intermediaries, so that they can explore the symptoms of such problems before their customers. For further details and to register, please visit our web site at the following URL: http://www.etsi.org/plugtests/ENUM.htm, the registration deadline is 16th May 2005. Please, show your interest by registering as soon as possible, but payment is not due before 23rd May 2005. Upon registration, you will be provided with ETSI's preferential rates for hotels and car rental. This invitation is open to anyone who may be interested so please feel free to forward it. To promote, boost or expand your image and products a wide range of sponsorship opportunities are available at: http://www.etsi.org/plugtests/sponsorus.htm We are looking forward to welcoming you in the South of France. Best regards, ETSI Plugtests TM Service Email: plugtests(a)etsi.org
