Here's the list so far (and many thanks to those who have helped out
in providing DNS services locally):
secondary FreeBSD.ORG 198.145.90.17 sec/freebsd.org
secondary Internat.FreeBSD.ORG 146.64.28.89 196.7.0.138
sec/internat.freebsd.org
secondary au.FreeBSD.org 129.78.129.1 sec/au.freebsd.org
secondary br.FreeBSD.org 143.106.13.62 sec/br.freebsd.org
secondary de.FreeBSD.org 130.83.63.20 sec/de.freebsd.org
secondary fr.FreeBSD.org 193.49.144.1 sec/fr.freebsd.org
secondary it.FreeBSD.org 194.179.130.1 sec/it.freebsd.org
secondary jp.FreeBSD.org 130.69.177.60 sec/jp.freebsd.org
secondary kr.FreeBSD.org 203.241.171.1 sec/kr.freebsd.org
secondary za.FreeBSD.org 146.64.28.89 sec/za.freebsd.org
We still need, at a minimum, DNS for the following subdomains:
Canada
Czech Republic
Finland
Hong Kong
Ireland
Israel
Netherlands
Portugal
Russia
Sweden
Taiwan
Thailand
UK
Of those, I'd be REALLY keen to see Russia, Sweden and the UK get this
set up since there are a lot of mirrors there. The rest may be
smaller, but no less important as only complete coverage will let us
finally drop all the hard-coded site names. The DNS server for a
given country also doesn't have to be administered IN that country, it
can be some other site, but I'd kind of prefer to have them more
localized so that connectivity to a given subdomain is pretty much
self-contained. No scenarios the where Sweden itself is quite
reachable, but its DNS server in Germany isn't.. :-(
For those of you already running named, it's not as hard as it sounds,
either! As an example, here's the short entry for Brazil:
; BIND version named 4.9.3-BETA26-LOCAL Wed Nov 15 14:16:02 PST 1995
; BIND version root@who.cdrom.com:/a/xxx/named/xfer
; zone 'br.FreeBSD.org' last serial 10000011
; from 143.106.13.62 at Wed Dec 13 13:16:40 1995
$ORIGIN FreeBSD.org.
br IN SOA ns1.br.freebsd.org. hostmaster.br.freebsd.org. (
10000013 10800 1800 3600000 86400 )
IN NS ns1.br.freebsd.org.
IN NS who.cdrom.com.
IN NS ns.coppe.ufrj.br.
IN MX 10 ns1.br.freebsd.org.
IN MX 5 www.br.freebsd.org.
$ORIGIN br.freebsd.org.
localhost IN A 127.0.0.1
www IN A 143.106.13.60
ns1 IN HINFO "486DX2/66" "FreeBSD2.0.5"
IN A 143.106.13.62
ns IN CNAME ns1.br.freebsd.org.
ftp IN A 143.106.13.61
ftp2 IN A 200.6.48.31
ftp3 IN A 146.164.30.2
ftp4 IN A 200.250.250.14
The ftp entries at the bottom are the most important, and should point
to whichever hosts currently provide FTP services for your domain
(check MIRROR.SITES or the Handbook's mirror list if you're unsure).
Some people use CNAMEs, others use address records. Your choice!
You should also make sure that a hostmaster@your.subdomain.freebsd.org
alias exists for trapping any failure reports.
Once you have your DNS up, let David and I know and we'll put in
secondary entries for it at root.com and cdrom.com.
Thanks!
Jordan
