As one of the ISC instructors, I will say that our classes are highly 
interactive, both student-to-instructor and in the lab experience provided.

I have yet to find any online training that comes close to what we provide in 
person.

Agreed. Having given training both live and online, I can say that the online 
version was highly inferior to the live class. When I taught DNS and BIND 
courses for Men  Mice, the live interaction was a key component of the value 
of the class. You just don't get that remotely.

Re: How does bind select what master to use?

Does it use an algorithm to determine the best server to use or does
it try the masters in the order they are listed? I am wondering if
listing the masters in a different order can optimize the performance
of bind.


AFAIK:
BIND keeps track of servers accessible and their RTT. It tends to prefer
theone with shoertet RTT but ocasionally re-tries (RTT can change over
time. If notice comes, BIND tends to prefer server that has sent it.

You can also try training arranged by APRICOT (and others incl. NANOG  others).
The bad things is these events only happens once in a year.

I had been in APRICOT's DNS/DNSSEC Workshop held in Delhi last year.
Phil Regnauld, Allen and Randy was the trainer and no doubt Regnauld is one of 
the best trainer.
And these events are economical too.
Charges was Rs. 15,000/- (Roughly $300) only.

I can't comment how best is ISC Courses because ISC training rarely happens in 
INDIA.
As per my opinion, ISC should focus on training events in INDIA also.

If you live in Africa and can get South, ZACR (UniForum SA), the co.za
registry people provide free DNS Courses in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
You still have to cover personal travel, food and lodging though.
These are proper DNS training courses, three day Intro and four day Advanced 
courses. They are, however, only offered twice a year, usually February and 
September...
You can see more at  http://dnstraining.coza.net.za/

I agree with the sentiment that its a costly business though.
