The Ask Mr. DNS Podcast » delegation http://www.ask-mrdns.com Matt Larson and Cricket Liu expound on DNS and other topics Tue, 31 Aug 2010 04:22:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Episode 12 http://www.ask-mrdns.com/2009/12/episode-12/ http://www.ask-mrdns.com/2009/12/episode-12/#comments Tue, 08 Dec 2009 03:19:16 +0000 cricket http://www.ask-mrdns.com/?p=185 In this episode, Matt and Cricket answer listener Paul Petersen’s question about how to register subdomains in country-code top-level domains around the world, and Ismael’s question about whether an RRSIG record’s signature validity can extend how long the signed RRset is cached.  (And if you understood that last part, you probably don’t need this podcast.)

In addition, Matt and Cricket talk about the latest news in DNS, including the signing of the root zone, which Matt knows all about, and the introduction of (and uproar over) Google’s Public DNS service.

Though Matt contributes most of the technical answers, Cricket does score a small coup by remembering that the late Frank Gorshin played the half-blackfaced/half-whitefaced Bele in the original Star Trek episode “Let This Be Your Last Battlefield.”
