Last week I was in Virginia, starting my new job. While there, I was lucky enough to be a guest on Episode 13 of the The Ask Mr. DNS Podcast!
The podcast is hosted by my friends and colleages, Matt Larson and Cricket Liu. Cricket and I have worked together on The Measurement Factory's DNS surveys. I've known Matt for a while through my work and research into DNS traffic analysis and he is now my manager at VeriSign.
It's my first time as a podcaster and it was great to see how it all comes together. I was sitting in Matt's office, but Cricket was on the other side of the country. They each record locally and then take turns editing and merging the audio channels. Although it doesn't come through in the final product, we had to do a couple of takes due to technical difficulties saving the audio files.
We answered three questions: one about IPv6-only names, one about addresses as query names, and one about how long it takes Google to find a server after its address changes. I felt a little like it was "DNS Mythbusters" and I wanted to shout out "busted" or "confirmed!"
