Nope, it's not radical. DNS system is controlled by US company and if you rely on it your country's infrastructure is vulnerable. So if US decides to cut Russia from DNS national services including government sites should continue to function.
People panic without understanding the reasons behind this law.
- comboy 8y agoI would understand if you were talking about certificates, but DNS? It should not be trusted by default.
- jamespo 8y agoDoesn't Russia operate the authoritative servers for .ru ?
- rzerda 8y agoTLD servers are useless without root ones. There are several replicas of K-root in Russia, but they are under control of RIPE (EU organization).
- jamespo 8y agoHow are they useless in terms of "if US decides to cut Russia from DNS national services including government sites should continue to function" What TLD are these sites hosted on?
- rzerda 8y agoTLD servers for .ru zone can answer questions like “who should I ask where kremlin.ru is?”, but before that there is a question “where .ru zone DNS servers are”, and that’s what root servers are supposed to answer. If - hypothetically - all root servers will answer “oh, .ru zone is served by that guy in Washington DC”, no DNS resolver would ask “real” .ru servers because list of root servers is effectively hard coded and changing it on all clients is a lot of work.
- inn_shopper 8y ago> DNS system is controlled by US company Yes, of course. Russian propaganda never ceases to amaze me. But just to be sure: do you know that DNS is decentralized protocol?
- liberte82 8y agoCould you end up with competing DNS services in different nations that direct users to different IPs? Now that could be a mess.
