Samenvatting

'DNS and BIND' teaches you everything you need to master one of the Internet's fundamental building blocks (distributed host information database) which is responsible for translating names into addresses, routing mail to its proper destination, and even listing phone numbers (with the new ENUM standard). This book brings you up to date with the latest changes in this crucial service.

This fifth edition covers BIND 9.3.2., the most recent release of the BIND 9 series, as well as BIND 8.4.7. BIND 9.3.2. contains further improvements in security and IPv6 support and important new features such as internationalized domain names, ENUM (electronic numbering) and SPF (the Sender Policy Framework).

Whether you're an administrator involved with DNS on a daily basis or a user who wants to be more informed about the Internet and how it works, this book is essential reading.

Topics include:
- What DNS does, how it works, and when you need to use it;
- How to find you own place in the Internet's namespace;
- Setting up nameservers;
- Using MX records to route mail;
- Subdividing domains (parenting);
- Securing your nameserver: restricting who can query your server, preventing unauthorized zone transfers, avoiding bogus servers, etc.;
- The DNS Security Extenstions (DNSSEC) and Transaction Signatures (TSIG);
- Mapping one name to several servers for load sharing;
- Dynamic updates, asynchronous notification of change to a zone, and incremental zone transers;
- Troubleshooting: using nslookup and dig, reading debugging output, common problems;
- DNS programming using the resolver library and Perl's Net: DNS module.
