The main objective of the DNS for LIRs Training Course is to provide
LIRs with information about the different DNS related services the
RIPE NCC has available for them. It covers reverse DNS procedures and
checks, as well as giving information about DNS Monitoring (DNSMON),
K-Root and anycasting.

The course also covers DNSSEC and the specific procedures set up by
the RIPE NCC to secure the in-addr.arpa zones.

Please note that the DNS for LIRs course focuses on DNS services and
procedures related to being an LIR. The course does: - NOT teach the
basics of DNS - NOT describe how to receive Internet resources from
the RIPE NCC - NOT describe fully how to operate a Local Internet
Registry (LIR)

The course is intended for technical staff of LIRs. It is assumed that
all attendees are familiar with common DNS terminology and have a
practical knowledge of operating DNS servers.

The course is free of charge. We provide lunch and printed training
materials.

We do not cover any of your travel expenses or accommodation.  We give
all of our training courses in English.
