TOFFS Multi-DNS

DNS is a critical component to ensuring online services remain available and that end users are able to connect to those services as quickly as possible. With revenue-generating web applications, customer satisfaction, and employee productivity all dependent on DNS, you can’t afford to have your DNS service unavailable or underperforming for any amount of time. Yet, because DNS mostly “just works,” many organizations treat the protection of their DNS infrastructure as an afterthought even though they know, or should know, that it represents the lynchpin of almost everything they do online.

Relying upon a single DNS domain is an extremely risky proposition. If that name server should lose connectivity, be hit by denial of service attack or even natural disaster, it essentially takes every other DNS-reliant system down with it.

Your DNS should have sufficient geographical and topographical diversity in the physical location to protect from these sorts of attacks. Particularly, you should consider varying your DNS servers across multiple power grids and continents.

Even if your organization rarely sees targeted attacks against it, you should not keep all your DNS eggs in one basket. The bad guys today, in command of botnets sometimes comprising tens of thousands of nodes, have more than enough bandwidth at their command to disrupt all but the best-provisioned Internet presence.

For a good, reliable DNS setup for your domain(s), you should have

  • Two authoritative DNS for your domain
  • The DNS servers should be connected to different physical networks and power supplies
  • The DNS servers should be in different geographical areas
