To all,I am sure this has been asked 10 to the 1 millionth power times, however may be the rules have changed. I am looking to set up a really small ISP with a few /24's. I want to host DNS as well. Is there any whitepapers/howtos/best practices on setting up multihomed BGP and DNS with BIND so I don't blow up the Internet.Thx Philip
O Hai! I would highly advise you have a read at any presentation by Phil Smith: ftp://ftp-eng.cisco.com/pfs/seminars (anonymous login)Read as much as you can from here 1st thing 1st - this is all solid ground knowledge.
Then, give a quick read at Cisco's BGP Case Study online on the CCO. And you're OK to go.Now if you want paper material that you can keep, I'd suggest "Internet Routing Architectures" by Sam Halabi - Cisco Press, even though it's getting old, I find it still very valid. Make sure you have a read at team-cymru.org before you roll out your AS, for their BOGONs/Martians ACLs and peerings, as it sure helps.
Bear in mind BGP is a simplistic protocol. The pain point *will* be your IGP (if you want to do it correctly from start...)
