DNS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:53, 31 March 2018

The University of Waterloo's DNS is managed through Infoblox.

People who have access to Infoblox:

Our machines use the IST AnyCast DNS Service:

IST does not provide an IPv6 DNS AnyCast service at this time.

CSC hosts some authoritative dns services on 129.97.134.4/2620:101:f000:4901:c5c::4 and 129.97.18.20/2620:101:f000:7300:c5c::20.

Current authoritative domains:

csclub.cloud
uwaterloo.club
csclub.uwaterloo.ca: A script (/opt/bindify/update-dns on dns1) runs every 10 minutes to populate this zone from the Infoblox records.
Any zone added to Designate DNS service on CSC Cloud

Those DNS servers are also recursive for machines located on the University network.

If we really cared, we might add a LOC record for csclub.uwaterloo.ca.

We could look into SSHFP records. Apparently OpenSSH supports these. (Discussion moved to Talk:DNS.)

-DNS service was terminated because it didn't work well (some problem with additional work needing to be done for some nameservers to accept delegating authority to us), nobody used it and it caused a potential security problem (which could have been fixed, but removing it was easier for the preceding reasons).
