Community NSD Support

NSD is used in mission critical environments such as DNS root servers and various Top Level Domains. This is possible because NLnet Labs is fully committed to maintaining the software and releasing new functionality and bug fixes on a regular basis. In addition, we actively collaborate with other leading DNS software providers on functionality and security, fostering a healthy DNS ecosystem. In the unlikely event that NLnet Labs can no longer commit to maintaining NSD, we will announce this at least two years in advance.

While NLnet Labs is committed to fix security issues and software bugs, as well as carefully assessing feature requests, the foundation can only provide best effort community support through the mailing list.

We offer support contracts at various service levels. They allow direct access to our highly skilled developers and technical specialists, with years of experience in Internet infrastructure standards.
