This session went very well, and we are looking forward to many more in the…

After the RIPE NCC implemented a system that checks for lame DNS servers in the part of the DNS tree the RIPE NCC maintains I was curious to find out how big a problem DNS lameness really is. I wrote a tool and presented it at the DNS WG during RIPE 59 in Lisbon.

One issue with cloud services is that they are mostly proprietary offerings. I suggest that the cost of moving off of a particular cloud provider (whether back to self-hosted or to another cloud vendor) be counted as a cost of that solution. For example, if a cloud service offers a particular service that no other company offers, the cost of doing without or building a replacement should be factored in as an additional cost of using that service. Often companies end up locked in because it costs too much to move off of a particular solution, but this is less likely to happen if the cost of "unlocking" a given service is accounted for the entire time.
I love this kind of follow-up study, thanks!
It's a pity that after all of this network engineering work there's still no IPv6 for GitHub. 😢
“Yes, I would really like CDS/CDNSKEY support :-) I wrote dnssec-cds so that I could support it for our delegated zones, and it would be really handy for them if they could also use CDS/CDNSKEY for their PI address space. (dnssec-cds is mentioned in the BIND 9.12 release notes https://deepthought.isc.org/article/AA-01532/0/BIND-9.12.0b1-Release-Notes.html and the man page is at https://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.12.0b1/doc/arm/man.dnssec-cds.html)”
Note that Jaromír Talíř will be giving a presentation about CDNSKEY in Knot DNS and the FRED registry tomorrow at the DNS working group at RIPE 75.
Thanks for this comprehensive overview! I especially like the specific recommendations for VPS vendors.
