Description
Book SynopsisDNS and BIND discusses one of the Internet's fundamental building blocks - the distributed host information database that's responsible for translating names into addresses, routing mail to its proper destination, and many other services.
Trade Review"I really tried hard to think of something the book should cover that was not already in between the covers, and other than really esoteric stuff, I failed. This is a book for novice and expert alike, and really does make an essential desktop reference for all those creating, modifying or supporting zone files." Raza Rizvi, news@UK "Verdict - Not quite everything there is to know about running BIND, but pretty close - 9/10" - Chris Denton, Linuxformat, March 2003 The book is slim, handy and so full of excellent advice that within a day of my picking it up I had (using the information in it) upgraded a number of BIND servers from v8 to v9 with almost no outage, implementing the new ?rndc? application in the process. I had also implemented dynamically updating sub-domains for containing SVR records for my employer?s new Windows Server 2003 Active Directory domain. Not a bad advert for an extremely useful book!? ?
