What is the “Knot DNS” server all about and why would you want to use it versus one of the other DNS servers supporting DNSSEC? At the recent ENOG 6 event in Kiev, Ukraine, I had a chance to speak with Jaromir Talir from CZ.NIC Labs and the resulting video interview can be found below. If you are interested in checking out the software, you can visit:
The software is available pre-packaged for several versions of Linux as well as in source-code form.
Here is my interview with Jaromir (and I apologize to Jaromir for repeatedly calling his organization by its domain “nic.cz” instead of by the organization’s name of “cz.nic”):
Prior to this interview, Jaromir had spoken on stage at ENOG 6 in more detail about Knot DNS. His ENOG 6 slides about Knot DNS are online and a video recording of his presentation is available:
It’s great to see a new entrant into the field of DNS name servers. While the existing servers are very rock solid, it’s always great to see new people coming in with new ideas and new tools. As Jaromir says in the interview, having diversity among your servers can be a good practice. I’d encourage you to go check out Knot DNS and let Jaromir and the CZ.NIC team know what you think of it!
