This new=20 outsourcing relationship offers Gentoo a more reliable, scalable DNS=20 infrastructure and allows us to spend more time developing Gentoo Linux=20 and less time administering infrastructure servers.=20 1. http://www.ultradns.com =20 In addition, UltraDNS offers us several new features and capabilities=20 previously unavailable in our BIND name server environment. These features= =20 include SiteBacker[2] and DirectionalDNS[3]. Gentoo is currently using=20 SiteBacker to ensure that users are always able to access=20 www.gentoo.org[4], which currently comprises four servers. When one server= =20 goes down, such as for planned maintenance, SiteBacker automatically=20 redirects client requests to one of the other three servers, minimizing=20 disruptions to our users.=20 2. http://www.ultradns.com/services/sitebacker.html 3. http://www.ultradns.com/services/ddns.html 4. http://www.gentoo.org =20 Gentoo is also currently experimenting with DirectionalDNS as a means of=20 offering targeted responses to DNS queries for rsync.gentoo.org. Based=20 upon the success of this test, we will be looking to expand the use of=20 DirectionalDNS to other domains as well.=20 =20 UltraDNS servers currently respond to nearly 5 million Gentoo-related DNS= =20 queries per month, and their service and support have been exceptional=20 throughout. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank UltraDNS for their= =20 support of the Gentoo Linux project.=20 =20 More photos from LWE -------------------- =20 Figure 1.1: Kevyn Shortell at LWE 2003 http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20030818_trance.jpg =20 Gentoo Linux developer Kevyn Shortell[5] has put up more photos from Linux= =20 World Expo 2003 here[6] on his site, as well as letting us know that the=20 PPC team had a PowerMac G4, an iBook and a Total Impact Briq, not an iBook= =20 and a PowerMac G3, as we said in last week's newsletter. At time of=20 writing, Kevyn hasn't yet put up captions or thumbnails or captions, and=20 the page is 11MB including images, so surf on down there at your own risk.= =20 :-) Thanks to Kevyn for putting up the photos and pointing out the error.= =20 5. trance@gentoo.org 6. http://penguinppc.org/~kevyn/stuff/LWE/ =20 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 2.
