This book covers the named DNS server and the various tools for operating and verifying the DNS server and configurations. It is based on a variety of open source documentation included with the BIND source code, including the definitive reference for the configuration syntax and grammar and the usage of the BIND programs. New chapters and content were added, including many examples and detailed indexing and cross-referencing. This BIND Administration Reference book corresponds to BIND 9.10 and also covers numerous differences between previous and later versions.
