Description
DNS and BIND provides comprehensive coverage of the Internet's fundamental building block: the distributed host information database that translates names into addresses and routes mail to its proper destination.
This fifth edition of the book brings you up-to-date with the latest changes in DNS, covering BIND 9.3.2 and BIND 8.4.7. You'll learn how to set up name servers, configure hosts to use DNS name servers, and secure your name server to restrict access.
Whether you're an administrator or a user looking to understand the Internet better, this book covers essential topics such as DNSSEC, transaction signatures, load sharing, dynamic updates, and troubleshooting using nslookup and dig. You'll also learn how to program with the resolver library and Perl's Net::DNS module.
