Description

The DNS & BIND Cookbook presents solutions to the many problems faced by network administrators responsible for a name server. Following O'Reilly's popular problem-and-solution cookbook format, this title is an indispensable companion to DNS & BIND, 4th Edition, the definitive guide to the critical task of name server administration. The cookbook contains dozens of code recipes showing solutions to everyday problems, ranging from simple questions, like, "How do I get BIND?" to more advanced topics like providing name service for IPv6 addresses. It's full of BIND configuration files that you can adapt to your sites requirements. With the wide range of recipes in this book, you'll be able to * Check whether a name is registered * Register your domain name and name servers * Create zone files for your domains * Protect your name server from abuse * Set up back-up mail servers and virtual email addresses * Delegate subdomains and check delegation * Use incremental transfer * Secure zone transfers * Restrict which queries a server will answer * Upgrade to BIND 9 from earlier version * Perform logging and troubleshooting * Use IPv6 and much more. These recipes encompass all the day-to-day tasks you're faced with when managing a name server, and many other tasks you'll face as your site grows. Written by Cricket Liu, a noted authority on DNS, and the author of the bestselling DNS & BIND and DNS on Windows 2000, the DNS & BIND Cookbook belongs in every system or network administrator's library.

Media Reviews

"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!? ?

Author's Bio

Cricket Liu matriculated at the University of California's Berkeley campus, that great bastion of free speech, unencumbered Unix, and cheap pizza. He joined Hewlett-Packard after graduation and worked for HP for nine years. Cricket began managing the hp.com zone after the Loma Prieta earthquake forcibly transferred the zone's management from HP Labs to HP's Corporate Offices (by cracking a sprinkler main and flooding Labs' computer room). Cricket was [email protected] for over three years, and then joined HP's Professional Services Organization to cofound HP's Internet Consulting Program. Cricket left HP in 1997 to form Acme Byte & Wire, a DNS consulting and training company, with his friend (and now co-author) Matt Larson. Network Solutions acquired Acme in June 2000, and later the same day merged with VeriSign. Cricket worked for a year as Director of DNS Product Management for VeriSign Global Registry Services. Cricket joined Men & Mice, an Icelandic company specializing in DNS software and services, in September, 2001. He is currently their Vice President, Research & Development. Cricket, his wife, Paige, and their son, Walt, live in Colorado with two Siberian Huskies, Annie and Dakota. On warm weekend afternoons, you'll probably find them on the flying trapeze or wakeboarding behind Betty Blue.
