Debian Conference 2015 The annual Debian developer meeting

Knot DNS is a family of DNS servers: a high-performance authoritative-only modern open-source DNS server and a recursive DNS server that is WIP. In this talk I will present the motivation, the goals and the current state of the project with focus on Internet stability, safety and resilience.

The Knot DNS supports most of the DNS standards and it has been already deployed at several TLDs and DNS hosters. Deployment at two root servers are already planned in upcoming months as an alternative to Bind 9 and NSD. The goal of the presentation is to show the audience the alternative DNS server that can be used to increase code diversity of used DNS software on the Internet.

In the second part of the talk, I will focus on building a secure and stable DNS deployment (mainly from TLD perspective) using anycast, and diverse implementations of routing and DNS daemons.
