DNS Server?

Jun 11, 2009  By hillardn

A while back I remember reading (I can't remember if it was on linuxjournal.com, in an issue of LJ, freshmeat.net or somewhere else) about a DNS server where zone changes could be scheduled.

It was such that you could effectively change a record and mark it to take effect at a specific time. It would automatically reduce the TTL on any queries it answered such that they were guaranteed to expire at the time of the change so it actually made scheduling in changes a doddle.

However, no amount of searching the aforementioned sites and Google has revealed the name of this particular nameserver.

Did I dream it all or can someone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks in advance.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
