The DNS-HOWTO has been part of the Linux Documentation Project since 1995 when I first wrote it. I have not updated it since 2001. This was it's home-site.

Here you will find the various versions of the DNS-HOWTO:

• DNS-HOWTO about BIND 4, no longer maintained
• DNS-HOWTO about BIND 8, no longer maintained
• DNS-HOWTO about BIND 9, the last version I updated, no longer maintained.

As a spinoff from the HOWTO I have written a book:

The Concise Guide to DNS and BIND

Author: Nicolai Langfeldt ISBN: 0789722739 Pages: 336 List price: USD34.99 Pub. Date: Nov 3, 2000 Publisher: Que

The book is much the same as the HOWTO, just a lot more of it, more explanations, more examples and more nitty gritty detail. More than 300 pages of it. The books homepage is right here.

It is available electronicaly from the subscription site Safari.InformIT.com.

You can buy the book online from
