Is there an IETF/ICANN reserved TLD for internal use?  I've seen plenty of 
.loc and .local, but I haven't seen an RFC reserving it.  RFC 2606 
reserves .example, .invalid, .localhost and  .test but these don't seem 
approriate.

Not IETF/ICANN reserved, but ISO 3166 [1] reserves the following code
elements which could be used as "private" ccTLD :)

"If users need code elements to represent country names not
included in this part of ISO 3166, the series of letters AA, QM
to QZ, XA to XZ, and ZZ, and the series AAA to AAZ, QMA to QZZ,
XAA to XZZ, and ZZA to ZZZ respectively and the series of
numbers 900 to 999 are available."

.local is used in MDNS, but AFAIK the RFC is still a draft.

Note, the new .XXX TLD is included in that list.

I happened to be looking for some other details on mDNS yesterday and noticed 
that the current draft version of the spec reserves .local:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns-14
   This document specifies that the DNS top-level domain ".local." is a
   special domain with special semantics, namely that any fully-
   qualified name ending in ".local." is link-local, and names within
   this domain are meaningful only on the link where they originate.

At the same time it also specifies that .local can only be used with mDNS, so 
it isn't really suitable for this use. . .

Does that mean it is or isn't safe for work? ;-)

But it does provide some alternatives:

.intranet
.internal
.private
.corp
.home
.lan

But can we guarantee that they won't be approved as new public TLDs per 
the new rules adopted this summer where anything can be a TLD?

Oops, I didn't read that far in the draft ;) Interesting question, and it 
forced me to download and crack open the 352-page ICANN guidebook for new 
gTLDs. Page 2-8 says:

Top-Level Reserved Names List

AFRINIC
ALAC
APNIC
ARIN
ASO
CCNSO
EXAMPLE*
GAC
GNSO
GTLD-SERVERS
IAB
IANA
IANA-SERVERS
ICANN
IESG
IETF
INTERNIC
INVALID
IRTF
ISTF
LACNIC
LOCAL
LOCALHOST
NIC
NRO
RFC-EDITOR
RIPE
ROOT-SERVERS
RSSAC
SSAC
TEST*
TLD
WHOIS
WWW
*Note that in addition to the above strings, ICANN will reserve translations of 
the terms “test” and “example” in multiple languages. The remainder of the  
strings are reserved only in the form included above.

I suppose any of those could be used. I like .invalid, personally ;)

It depends on whether the XXX TLD acquires a signed delegation or not.

(Presumably it should, as you wouldn't want to get the *wrong* porn ...)

DNS Bulk Query Tool

2011-11-02 Thread Gaurav Kansal
Dear All,

 

I set up a new DNS Server using Bind 9.7

For meantime I open this server for the whole world. I wanna check how many
queries it can handle.

Is this any freeware available for checking this. Is there any tool
available by which I can come to know after how much load my DNS will be
down (Or it will stop responding) ???

 

Thanks and Regards,

Gaurav Kansal

RE: DNS Bulk Query Tool

2011-11-02 Thread Marco Bicca
Hi Gaurav,

I would use dnsperf and the 1 million website list from Alexa:

DNSPerf:
Freebsd: http://www.freshports.org/dns/dnsperf

Depending on your OS there are available ports too.

Alexa's list:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/alexa-static/top-1m.csv.zip


Did that in the past and it worked pretty well.

Thanks,
