This book is critical if you plan to run DNS services. Just last night I bought a copy of the 3rd Edition of "DNS and BIND". The back cover says: "The third edition covers BIND 4.9, on which most commercial products are currently based, and BIND 8, which implements many important new features and will be the basis for the next generation of commercial name servers." DNS and BIND, Third Edition by Paul Albitz and Cricket Liu Published by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. http://www.oreilly.com ISBN: 1-56592-512-2 Price: US$ 32.95 I bought mine at "Borders Book Store" - Dearborn Michigan. Available at many other places, I'm sure. (including O'Reilly web site).
