DNS Appliance

SolidDNS - The World's First Dual Stack DNS Appliance

Product Overview
The Internet as we know it today would not function without the Domain Name System, or DNS. DNS serves as the telephone directory of the Internet, allowing the use of names to access hosts on the Internet instead of using the difficult to remember IP addresses, thus making Internet navigation easier.

The distributed nature of DNS data makes it scalable to the entire world, but this also makes it possible for domain administrators to misconfigure existing servers. This also presents great opportunities to hackers who often attack poorly secured or even misconfigured DNS servers, creating a grave security threat to all Internet users that rely on accurate and reliable DNS data.

The inevitable global transition to the Next Generation Internet standard, or IPv6, presents yet another problem for DNS administrators whose DNS servers cannot handle the mapping of domain names to IPv6 addresses or cannot handle the accurate entry of IPv6 data.

These issues, however, are capably addressed by the InfoWeapons SolidDNS™ appliance.

The SolidDNS™ Server Appliance provides DNS service to any size network in a highly secure manner. It supports both IPv4 and the new IPv6 schemes, making the creation and delegation of lower level domains easier and more accurate. The appliance can even automatically create reverse mappings for every registered domain or network.

SolidDNS™ has two Graphical User Interfaces that can correctly handle IPv4 and IPv6 data, and can even automatically renumber IPv6 network prefixes, ensuring rapid and error-free entry of IPv6 data. One is accessible through the web and the other via a Microsoft Management Console snap-in. Both User Interfaces connect over SSL/TLS, with added security in the form of strong client authentication using X.509 digital certificates.

SolidDNS™ supports ENUM, the suite of protocols that unifies the global telephone system with the Internet. SolidDNS™ also allows multiple organizations to use a single appliance for all their DNS needs via a "virtual" encapsulated server, which acts as if the appliance was a DNS server exclusively dedicated to each organization alone!

SolidDNS™ uses an integrated BIND DNS Server that can automatically update configuration files and the Graphical User Interface. This prevents the loss of any records that may occur during the regeneration of the BIND configuration files as well as allow the administrators to immediately view the DNS records stored in the database.
