Interviews with the Internet gods unveiled

SOME OF YOU may know Paul Vixie for his dalliances with DNS, mainly that he wrote it and is the primary author on BIND through version 8. He also has a long history of other things, you can read about some of them here.

We caught up with Paul at Defcon, and did the first of a new series of interviews, in this case, Internet Gods, as a compliment to our multi-award winning Gaming Gods interview series ( here and here). We hope this imparts as much wisdom as is possible for a person to absorb over the course of two to three hours. Enjoy.

Note: Some answers may be slightly paraphrased.

Inquirer: DNS is sometimes described as having a tree like structure. What kind of tree is it?
Vixie: DNS is kind of like a bush.
Inquirer: Thank you. µ
