Definitive desktop reference

This is the definitive guide to DNS and the Bind implementation. If you don't understand it by reading this book, you never will.

Internet in a BIND

Given the history of security flaws with BIND, and its inferior performance compared to some other DNS server packages (such as DJBDNS), I found so large a book to be woefully inadequate in representing DNS as an Internet protocol, instead painting it merely as a supported feature of BIND.

O'Reilly misses one.

O'Reilly misses the mark with DNS and BIND. I have several shelf full of O'Reilly books and I think this one is far over complecated. The first example has about 12 machines that need to be configured, what about showing how to set up a caching name server? I have many books from O'Reilly that I have thought were a lot better.

Outstanding Book

This is an outstanding book, covers all the basics and is very easy to understand. If you need a book on DNS and BIND this is it.

DN what?

I honestly knew zip about DNS, and in my field, that was just fine, I didn't need to know, and there were people who took care of that sort of thing.

However, one of our recent projects 'required' me setup a Name Server. The admin who was 'supposed' to do it... couldn't!

Anyway, this book really explains in excellent terms not only DNS servers, but the incredible chain of how it all works. By chapter 4, I had Bind installed, two Name Servers up, and 15 virtual hosts configured on a linux box.

I cannot say enough good things about O'Reilly, they cover their bases really well.

Regardless of whether you're new to DNS, or you know it all, this book will expand your knowledge base. Many kudos to the writers on a job well done.
