Infoblox to host IPv6 "How to" webinar

World IPv6 Launch will be here June 6. If you haven't heard of it, this is the day where several large companies that have an Internet presence (Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc.) will permanently enable IPv6 for their online services. 

The following day, June 7, Infoblox is featuring an IPv6 webinar with host Cricket Liu. This webinar will focus on the following topics:

Integrated Architecture for F5 and Infoblox DNS

While searching for a related topic, I came across this interesting white paper entitled: F5 and Infoblox DNS Integrated Architecture: Offering a Complete Scalable, Secure DNS Solution.  Essentially, if you have F5 BIG IP GTM's on your edge and you are using Infoblox for external DNS, you can integrate the two products to create a Highly Available DNS and DNS Sec architecture. 

This white paper is hardly what I would call exhaustive. It's more of a suggestion on how this type of thing can be done. It's only 18 pages long including the title page, so definitely an easy read. I highly suggest a quick flip through if this is your cup of tea.

Get your External DNS Checked

Just ran across a cool, free service on Infoblox.com - Cricket Liu's DNS Advisor. This little widget probes and prods your external DNS to see if there are any problems or vulnerabilities, then spits out a fairly in-depth report for your viewing pleasure. 

I pointed their tool at my domain and got information that I was mostly aware of. However, it was still a nice sanity check to see that things are configured how they should be. Here is a list of some of the categories it checks:

Infoblox offering a Free DNS Book

Want to learn more about DNS? Then pick up this free book from Infoblox while their supplies last. 


DNS on Windows Server 2003 was authored by Matt Larson, Cricket Liu, and Robbie Allen and covers just about everything you need to know to manage DNS on a Windows 2003 server. Granted, most organizations have already retired their 2003 servers for 2008 or another platform, but the content is still fairly relevant and there are chapters that are focused on the technology rather than the operating system specific implementation tasks.

So, what do you have to do to get the book?

DNSSEC - Free Webinar and Whitepaper from Infoblox

Infoblox recently hosted a free webinar where their VP of Architecture Cricket Liu discusses vulnerabilities in the current implementation of DNS and provides a very high level view of DNSSEC. It's a little over an hour long, but it is easily squeezed into a lunch hour since it is indexed and you can fast forward over the introduction. Here's a link to the Free webinar:
