DNS Cookies, Response Policy Zones (RPZ), Response Rate Limiting (RRL) and DNSTAP added to Training course curriculum.

Many other enhancements are also being rolled out for the DNS & BIND courses, including refinements to course materials and the introduction of new labs.

Nov 13th, 2018

If you’re looking to advance your understanding of one of the most fundamental aspects of public and private networks, from the internet to corporate intrawebs, consider that Men&Mice has been delivering DNS and BIND training courses since 1999.

In the coming year, we will augment these popular courses with entirely new sections on DNS Cookies, Response Policy Zones (RPZ), Response Rate Limiting (RRL) and DNSTAP as well as updates on DNS Security and DNSSEC. Many other enhancements are also being rolled out in 2019 for the DNS & BIND courses, including refinements to course materials and the introduction of new labs (including Debugging labs). Register today, to secure your spot in one of our upcoming courses.

To ensure there is a conveniently located training program nearby, Men&Mice Training events have taken place in locations spanning four continents, and deliver learning opportunities to organizations of all sizes and functions, such as:

  • Top Level Domain (TLD) operators,
  • DNS registrars,
  • Governments,
  • Universities,
  • Enterprise and SMB businesses

Men&Mice's work in developing DNS, DHCP, and IP Address management (DDI) solutions has led to the development of the vendor and environment-agnostic Men&Mice Suite, which provides a holistic DDI overlay for simplifying complex management of critical network infrastructure for enterprise organizations.

The development of our public training courses and private on-site training programs utilizes our deep expertise in DNS and BIND. The courses, which are  independent from our software solution, are designed to strengthen DNS know-how both for individual career development and to bolster expertise across network teams.

Not only useful for beginners, they’re valued by those with years of expertise. Here's what as student from one of our fall 2018 courses had to say:

“There's nothing more basic to the internet than DNS.  I've been using the internet since the days of gopher in 1995.  And running networked linux systems since 1997. But this course refreshed my understanding of the fundamentals of the internet more than anything else I've done in the last 21 years. By teaching me in-depth how the internet WORKS.”

Our training courses are designed to cater to both new students and seasoned professionals. Students often realize that while their base knowledge is valuable, taking a different approach illuminates concepts they weren't aware of before. They return to work with a deeper understanding of how their roles, tasks and input related to DNS, as well as that of their colleagues, impacts the entirety of the network.

Comprehensive Training in DNS & BIND

DNS & BIND Week (DNSB-W) provides an overall understanding of the fundamental building blocks of a network.

Students get hands-on workshop experience with DNS in a practical environment. Men&Mice maximizes the efficiency of training sessions by promoting tactical application rather than simply studying, pointing out along the way the large-scale correlations born from localized concepts.

DNS & BIND Advanced (DNSB-A) - following the DNSB-W and DNSB-F programs - and DNSSEC & BIND (DNSSECB) - offered again in 2019 - programs offer more advanced knowledge and practice. Designed primarily for those responsible for some of the most mission-critical of internet services - such as DNS registrars and TLD operators - they bring students to the top of their expertise.

Foundational Training in DNS & BIND

For those peripherally working with DNS, or looking to learn the basics, the first three days of DNS & BIND Week is available as DNS & BIND Fundamentals (DNSB-F).
