IPv6 webinar series - Session 1

Beginning next week, I'll be conducting a series of five webinars with the help of gotomeeting, focused on IPv6. Actually the first webinar in the series touches on IPv6 though it focuses primarily on IDNs, internationalized domain names. I decided to offer this IDN/IPv6 webinar as the first in the series since it introduces IPv6 and provides a context for IPv6 especially for IT managers in North America, namely to facilitate continued web presence for Asia users. IDN is another evolving IPAM-related technology that can ease the usability or navigation to your sites for Asia-based users among others. Following are the planned dates and topics for the IPv6 webinar series:

Webinar TopicDate and Time
IDNs and IPv6: Enhancing your Asia presenceTuesday, October 25, 2011, 12-1pm EDT
Introduction to IPv6Thursday, October 27, 2011, 12-1pm EDT
IPv6 deployment checklistTuesday, November 1, 2011, 12-1pm EDT
Configuring DNS for a dual stack networkThursday, November 3, 2011, 12-1pm EDT
DHCPv6: features and comparison with DHCPv4Tuesday, November 8, 2011, 12-1pm EST

The first webinar, IDNs and IPv6: Enhancing your Asia presence will discuss the following. The rate of broadband and wireless services deployments in the Eastern hemisphere far exceed those in the West. With this Internet access proliferation into broader, less technical segments of these populations, it behooves organizations to assure Internet reachability and simplify navigation to their web resources. This webinar will discuss how implementation of IPv6 and international domain names (IDNs) can help achieve these objectives. Register here.

For more information about the series and topics to be discussed in other webinars, I'll be blogging about that later, or you can see the short answer here.

Handy AAAA filter in BIND 9.8

The ISC introduced a pair of new configuration file options in BIND 9.8 to enable administrators to easily filter who may receive AAAA record type responses even if valid responses exist. For example, clients on subnets that do not have IPv6 network access can be excluded from receiving affirmative answers for AAAA queries. This feature provides simpler administration than the alternative mechanism using views. The first option, filter-aaaa-on-v4,defines whether the server will return AAAA records to certain clients. Such clients are defined by the address match list parameter of the second option, filter-aaaa. Note that BIND must be compiled with the --enable-filter-aaaa option on the configure command line to enable AAAA filtering. The syntax of these options is as follows: filter-aaaa-on-v4 (yes | no | break-dnssec) ; filter-aaaa {addr_match_list;} ; The filter-aaaa option identifies the address match list for which the filter-aaaa-on-v4 option is to be applied as described

Inglorious DDI

We all know how critical DHCP/DNS/IPAM (DDI) services are. Your network cannot function without them. But like most foundational elements of anything, they are certainly not glamorous...like good luck finding a home designer who specializes in home foundations. I would not be shocked should HGTV pass on my brilliant concept for a foundation building show. I suppose most people would find a show detailing footing depths and concrete pouring techniques rather boring.  Nevertheless, there are countless shows for redesigning and remodeling homes. On most episodes the foundation is out of sight, out of mind. If it's stable, no one wants to pay it attention, they just expect it to keep doing its job, supporting the structure. Once in a while a foundational issue is brought up that unexpectedly threatens to raise the budget to heighten the drama. All work stops until the issue is addressed. And you'll notice that the owner never denies paying the extra amount to fix the issue.

BIND 9.8.0 Adds DNS64 Support - Part 2 - How is it configured?

BIND 9.8.0 introduced a new dns64 option statement that can be configured within the server named.conf options block or within a view options block. Recall from a prior post that DNS64 configures a recursive DNS server to issue A record queries on behalf of a client requesting AAAA records, then appends the returned IPv4 address to a defined IPv6 prefix. This manufactured IPv6 address enables the querying host to connect to a NAT64 gateway which will terminate the IPv6 connection from the client and map it to an outbound IPv4 connection to the appended IPv4 address, completing the connection! Whew! BIND offers a number of useful parameters within the dns64 statement to control this process. The statement syntax is: dns64 IPv6_prefix { [clients {address_match_list };] [mapped {address_match_list };] [exclude {address_match_list };] [suffix IPv6_addr;] [recursive-only (yes|no);] [break-dnssec (yes|no);] }; The IPv6_prefix parameter is the prefix to which returned
