DNS and BIND

What Hacker News says

   I've been running BIND at home since the mid 90's when I had ISDN. The O'Reilly "DNS and BIND" book was my go-to guide when I got started.

   It was a whole zoo of O'Reilly books, including

   UNIX Systems Administration

   The Perl Cookbook

   DNS and BIND

   AWK

   and too late for me to learn the basic, but valuable nonetheless: The Practice of System and Network Administration.

   DNS and Bind by Cricket Liu is the classic one.

   K&R, Spivak, Randal's Learning Perl, Cricket's DNS and Bind, Petzold's Windows Programming

   Flipping through the Smalltalk books was an eye-opener back in the day.

   There's an amazing but little-known book in the same printing style as K&R about systems software from the MCC consortium, with tons of C source code.

   I've run my own DNS servers since the mid 90's. Anyone doing this should check out the "DNS and BIND" O'Reilly book.
