Webinar: Bind 8 Transition Strategies

BIND is the open source reference implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS). By conservative estimates there are several million installations of the BIND name server on the Internet, and this estimate doesn't even include the internal implementations.

BIND 8 was declared 'end of life' as of August 27, 2007. BIND 9 is the current version and the planned replacement for BIND 8 since its launch in 2000.

Join Paul Vixie, President of ISC—the producers of BIND—and DNS expert Cricket Liu to decide what this change means for you and your organization. During this webinar, you will learn:

The reasons BIND 8 is being discontinued
Best practices in upgrading to BIND 9
How to avoid upgrade pitfalls
Emerging best practices in DNS deployment and name server options available
