Hello, I have a need to make my own DNS system on an isolated network. Years ago, I administered DNS for a couple of different companies, but that was quite a while ago and since I've turned to programming I haven't done much in the way of network administration. I recall from using BIND 4, when I was reading up on it, that it is most certainly possible to configure an entire DNS system on a totally isolated network. Would I need zone files for the root, ".", zone and any other zones I configure; e.g. "isolation."? This would seem to be the way to go about it, but I'm having some difficulty visualizing it in my head. I just did some searches online for the O'Reilly book "DNS & BIND". I recall using this book in the past and it was quite helpful (and unfortunately for me, belonged to my former employers). Would this book be a good reference for this task as well, or are there better books that I might want to look into getting for this? Or, are there good on-line resources that could help me muddle through? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Andy
