The Hostmastering Working Group administers the DNS services and manages the zone files for the root and opennic.glue, in accordance with its HostmasteringPolicies Policies.
Specifications
Task List
- Fix single-point-of-failure by distributing tier0
- Prune dead/dark zones ... needs a policy :)
- Integrate VolunteerHosts Volunteering Hosts
Current Activities
in support of the foregoing- Maintaining, mastering and xfering root and opennic.glue zones on ns20 as new tier0
- integrate new and pre-existing, functional and current, hosts
The use of the word 'Tier' in naming groups of DNS Hosts is proving inconvenient, even counter-productive, to promoting an understanding of the different functions of these servers. We're looking for, thinking about, and trying out, new lables to replace these, starting with
- tier-0 replaced with Aggregate Master, because that's exactly what it is, the DNS "master" for the AggregateRoot;
- tier-1 replaced with Master Pool, because that's exactly what it is, a pool of "masters" for the TLDs/zones sponsored by OpenNIC;
- tier-2 replaced with Public Access Servers, because that's exactly what they are, public access servers.
