DNS and Public IPs
SAD Learns about DN........ S
Friday, October 7, 2022 · 5 - 6:30 PM
Hello Everyone!
Tonight's meeting will be focused on DNS, and paired with our new process for obtaining a public IP address on SADNET!
If you aren't familiar, DNS servers are responsible for finding every single website you enter into the URL box. Without them, you would have to know the IP address of every website you wanted to visit. Who wants to type 151.101.129.140 every time they check reddit?
We're going to go over the different types and levels of DNS servers, show you a little bit about how our own DNS server works, then segue into how you can make a SADNET service of your own accessible from any DNS server! (Meaning its reachable on the open internet, see what we did there?)
As always, we will be streaming at https://meet.jit.si/SADClubFall2022 and meeting in-person at ILSB 237 at 5:00 PM. This time around, I will be attempting to record the Jitsi stream so it's available after the fact.
The Homecoming Bonfire is kicking off at 6:45, so we're gonna try and wrap the meeting up by 6:30.
See y'all soon!
