EURid implements DNSSEC

On June 9th 2010 EURid (.eu registry) will implement DNSSEC. This will happen in 2 phases. Firstly DNSSEC will be implemented in the registration system. This implementation will take 2 hours and will be executed tomorrow morning between 4am and 6am. During those 2 hours the system of EURid will be offline. However current .eu-names will remain active. So if you already have an active .eu-name, this name will keep functionning.

At 6am EURid will start the implementation of DNSSEC in their nameservers. This implementation will probably take all day. This means that new registrations and changes which are requested on June 9th during the day won’t be loaded into the .eu-zonefile immediately. So the changes will be shown in the Whois-information but technically the changes will be executed at the end of the business day. Already active .eu names will also remain active during the implementation of DNSSEC in the nameservers.
