[aklug] GCI DNS and BIND Settings

99.99% of the time I'm using GCI DNS. Most of the time it's working just fine. The caching issue makes sense. I've seen DNS TTL settings for 1 day. When I was playing with DNS I configured mine for 30 minutes. Didn't want to wait long for changes to take effect.

Since I'm pointing fingers here and there about DNS I feel it's only fare to talk about my own DNS server. It doesn't have ACL support. Is that bad. Sure it is. What kind of crazy things have others done to it? Who knows. Should I be watching it? I don't think so. It was never designed as a production DNS server.

Times have changed. I need a production quality DNS server. That means reinstalling and adding some security features to BIND.
