Internal DNS Security Improvement

At the request of the Indiana University Information Policy Office, the caching-only nameserver on each host at OSG Operations will be reconfigured so as to listen only to requests from localhost. Requests from hosts outside the OSG Operations LANs (other than the UIPO’s security testing servers) were already prevented by firewalls, but this will provide an extra layer of security.

IPv6 DNS Addresses

The hostnames of the OSG Operations servers will be given IPv6 addresses in addition to their existing IPv4 addresses in DNS. This is the next step in OSG Operations’ transition to supporting IPv6 in addition to IPv4. No production servers will be transitioning to full dual-stack status at this time, but this will allow us to gauge whether the presence of an IPv6 address in DNS will have any adverse effects on existing services. It is not anticipated that there will be any adverse effects.
