Using Google Public DNS. Configuring your network settings to use Google Public DNS When you use Google Public DNS, you are changing your DNS "switchboard" operator from your ISP to Google Public DNS. In most cases, the IP addresses used by your ISP's domain name servers are automatically set by your ISP via the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

To use Google Public DNS, you need to explicitly change the DNS settings in your operating system or device to use the Google Public DNS IP addresses. The procedure for changing your DNS settings varies according to operating system and version (Windows, Mac or Linux) or the device (computer, phone, or router). We give general procedures here that might not apply for your OS or device; please consult your vendor documentation for authoritative information. Note: We recommend that only users who are proficient with configuring operating system settings make these changes. Important: Before you start Google Public DNS IP addresses Changing your DNS servers settings. CcTLD_1000_shadow.jpg (JPEG Image, 1031x699 pixels) Twitter for Dummies: Home. SPF: SPF Record Syntax. Note: This page serves as an introduction and quick overview of SPF mechanism syntax. For the complete and definitive picture, please see the specification.

Domains define zero or more mechanisms. Mechanisms can be used to describe the set of hosts which are designated outbound mailers for the domain. Domains may also define modifiers. Each modifier can appear only once. Mechanisms Mechanisms can be prefixed with one of four qualifiers: If a mechanism results in a hit, its qualifier value is used. "v=spf1 -all" "v=spf1 a -all" "v=spf1 a mx -all" "v=spf1 +a +mx -all" Mechanisms are evaluated in order.

If a domain has no SPF record at all, the result is "None". Evaluation of an SPF record can return any of these results: The "all" mechanism (edit) This mechanism always matches. Examples: "v=spf1 mx -all" Allow domain's MXes to send mail for the domain, prohibit all others. The domain sends no mail at all. "v=spf1 +all" The domain owner thinks that SPF is useless and/or doesn't care. "v=spf1 ptr -all" Pro DNS and BIND. These pages are provided for readers of Pro DNS and BIND, published by Apress, my first foray into the world of book, rather than web, writing.

The book started from DNS for Rocket Scientists which has been available for about nine years on the web as a free resource to help users understand and configure BIND9 based DNS systems. I am committed to keeping this resource available and updated. But times are changing. The world of DNS is on the verge of three significant changes - IPv6, VoIP and DNSSEC - that will add significant complexity to a subject that is already both complex and shrouded in mystery. Certain studies suggest that up to a staggering 98% of all traffic arriving a root-servers is unnecessary - due largely to a combination of badly configured name servers and firewalls. Why a book? The majority of the suggestions and enhancements requests I receive about DNS for Rocket Scientists are for PDF versions.

Whether the book achieves its goals is for you the reader to determine. DNS for Rocket Scientists - Contents. This Open Source Guide is about DNS and (mostly) BIND 9.x on Linux (Fedora Core), BSD's (FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD) and Windows (Windows 7 and 10). It is meant for newbies, Rocket Scientist wannabees and anyone in between. This Guide was born out of our first attempts a number of years ago at trying to install a much needed DNS service on an early Redhat Linux system. We completed the DNS 'rite of passage' and found it a pretty unedifying and pointless experience. Health Warning: This is still a work-in-progress. If you find errors don't grumble - tell us. Look at our to do list and if you want to contribute something please do so.

<gratuitous publicity> The newly published book Pro DNS and BIND was largely based on this material but significantly extends it - including DNS security (including DNSSEC.bis), IPv6, DNS APIs and complete reference sections on named.conf and RR types.
