This is Just O'Rielly; Bind or is it one of those in a nutshells books. Just want to make sure before I pick up the wrong one. I trust it covers version 9? if you don't mind and can remember when you get back to the office can you send the ISBN just in case I need to order it. or a quick search on Amazon came up with DNS and Bind 5th edition by Cricket Lui and Paul Albitz O'Reilly Publishing is this the one your refering too? -brian
