[OPLINTECH] DNSSEC upgrade completing tomorrow

[Darren Kamnitzer]

Hello All,

 

                Surprisingly, there didn't seem to be a lot of media
coverage of this but tomorrow night the DNSSEC security upgrade will be
completed on all of the internet's root servers. This could have some
serious results with locations that have older equipment running their
networks. Here is a link detailing the security changes that will occur:

de.aspx

 

To check to see if you will be affected by these changes, the following
site has a very simple Java app that will test your location. The page
also describes what each result from the test means.

For those more familiar with a UNIX like system, the following link
gives the commands to do a similar test:
