| Does anyone know the best beginners book and/or website-guide on BIND and how to set it up? I have a domain registered and want to create subdomains pointed to my IP and all that fun stuff. I know very little on the subject and would like to eventually learn it. | |

| "DNS and BIND" by Paul Albitz, Cricket Liu. A must-have for UNIX sysadmins. | |

| Is it me or is DNS/BIND configuration really complicated?  I've looked over the how-to and some other things and it doesn't look to be easy. | |

| It's easy after you know it.  It does take a bit more effort than some simpler things like Apache or squid, but far less than things like sendmail. | |

| Yeah, "DNS and BIND" is THE book to have on the subject. Even if you aren't running BIND it provides a lot of great info on DNS.
All of my dns servers run djbdns. It's easier to configure, more stable, less demanding on systems resources, and has a much better security history then BIND.
