Expanding the RIPE NCC Authoritative DNS Service means cooperating with the community to find organisations out there willing to host AuthDNS instances on their networks. In this article, find out exactly what's required from hosts and how to apply.
We're steadily expanding the capacity of our Authoritative DNS (AuthDNS) cluster to ensure it keeps providing resilient and speedy service. Here's a look at what the cluster does and the steps we're taking towards its expansion.
In this article we describe the evaluation and selection of a new DNSSEC signer solution, along with a plan of how we intend to perform the migration.
This is an experiment to see if we can increase the capacity and resiliency of the RIPE NCC's authoritative DNS service (AS197000). This service hosts all the reverse DNS zones, ripe.net and provides secondary service for various ccTLDs.
DNSSEC signing solutions and products have evolved greatly since we first began signing our zones. We are now exploring ways of doing it better and smarter.
On Thursday 16 March 2017, at around 20:00 UTC, a bug in a script caused an outage for some reverse DNS delegations registered in the RIPE Database. The effects of the bug were not immediate, but began a cascading failure, that persisted until 18:00 UTC on Friday 17 March. In the following article,…
Rolling over the algorithm (usually to a stronger variant) used to sign a DNS zone isn't as easy as regular key roll-overs. This is because some DNSSEC validators are less forgiving than others, and fail validation unless the right combination of keys and signatures is present in a zone. This ar…
This graph shows TCP queries coming to K-root during 4 hours on 3 June 2010.
Some weeks ago, we installed a reply-size tester application at the global instances of K-root. We want to make this test available to more people, in an easy-to-use way. We have therefore written a Java application for this purpose.

Hi Roland. We don't have plans for CDS/CDNSKEY at the moment. However, if we hear otherwise from the community, and more people would like the RIPE NCC to support it, then we would certainly look at implementing it for the reverse DNS zones.
