Re: Recommended DNS Books?

DNS and Bind by O'reilly (not sure about the spelling here). Have bought it
but not read it but every one I asked said thats's the book you have to own
if you want to learn Bind (which is the name server Apple uses.)

I am a complete DNS-idiot too, but after browsing through the book I believe
that I can get through the pages with some understanding.
