Hi, Alex.

Thanks for the advice. Now, another question.

In http://wiki.opennicproject.org/Tier2ServerConfig the BIND 8/9 "Slaving dns.opennic.glue" section refers to file "db.dns.opennic". What are the contents of this file? Is it downloaded from somewhere, or should it be created by me?

Thanks again.

1. The OpenNIC DNS Wiki gives instructions for setting up Tier 1 and
Tier 2 servers. Why would I opt for one over the other? Which is
most in demand?

You would want to run a T2. A T1 is for TLD operators. :)

2. The server housing my proposed DNS server (BIND 9 running in a
chroot'd environment) has very good uptime, but is limited to
3TB/month of network traffic. Is this limit sufficient to host an
OpenNIC DNS server?

The traffic limit is fine. I usually use around 30-80 GB of data on DNS
depending on the attacks I see.

3. Reading through the BIND set-up doc on the OpenNIC DNS Wiki I am
surprised to see no references to DNSSEC. Did I just miss something
or are the OpenNIC zones not signed?

OpenNIC zones are not signed yet. I believe we are still working on this.


4. After I have configured BIND per the OpenNIC doc, how do I submit
my addresses (IPv4 & IPv6) for inclusion in the public list of
available OpenNIC DNS servers?

You can submit your IPs on the wiki and they are automatically gathered
from that source!

Hope this helps!
Alex
