There is new information, including a new implementation date. Please read the entire email carefully as you may have action required. The upcoming State of Oregon Enterprise internal/external DNS split consists of a number of related, although very different functions. If your configuration fits one of the following scenarios, implement the related changes and contact the SDC for testing or clarification. 1. The current name servers PANTHER, MANX and LYNX will provide resolution and recursion for internal State of Oregon customers and partners only. No action required. 2. a. The current name servers PANTHER, MANX and LYNX will no longer be authoritative for State of Oregon Internet domains. b. The following hosts will become authoritative-only name servers [i.e. not provide recursion] for State of Oregon Internet registered domains: PUMA.state.or.us 192.149.16.99 LION.state.or.us 192.149.16.131 These new external-only, authoritative-only name servers (Puma/Lion) will need to replace PANTHER, MANX and LYNX in domain registrations hosted, but not directly managed, by the State Data Center [e.g. nwrapid.com]. 3. Recursion will be provided to SDC external customers that use state DNS by utilizing the following new caching name servers: ORPDX-DNS.state.or.us 192.149.16.98 ORSLM-DNS.state.or.us 192.149.16.130 OREUG-DNS.state.or.us 192.149.16.114 These new name servers will need to replace PANTHER, MANX and LYNX as forwarders in external customer/partner DNS configurations. Customer name servers will need to be allowed access to the State of Oregon DNS cache before the configuration change is made on the customer DNS. This new configuration should be tested in close coordination with SDC Network prior to implementing the change. Original communication: 04/04/2011 Initial Communication 04/11/2011 Updated Communication 08/08/2011 Second Reminder 12/12/2011 Third Reminder 01/05/2012 Fourth Reminder 02/09/2012 Final Reminder at CAB prior to change On Sunday, February 12, 2012 between 4:00am - 5:00am, the following State of Oregon Enterprise DNS servers will be removed from public domain name and address block registrations to provide internal State of Oregon name and address resolution only: 159.121.107.80 panther.state.or.us 159.121.31.50 manx.state.or.us 159.121.107.82 lynx.state.or.us Internal (i.e. inside the enterprise State of Oregon firewall) DNS forwarding, domain delegation, public domain name and address blocks managed by the SDC will be unaffected by this change. SDC customers external to the State of Oregon (i.e. outside the enterprise State of Oregon firewall) may need to modify DNS forwarding, domain delegation, public domain name and address block configuration. CAUTION: Customer public domain and block registrations hosted, but not directly managed, by the SDC may be adversely impacted by this change! IMPORTANT: Customer public domain and block resolution continuity can be maintained by either: A) transferring domain and block management to the SDC [recommended; domain ownership remains with the customer]; or B) updating the registration with current State of Oregon Enterprise DNS information.
