DNS and BIND in a Nutshell

A complete guide to the Internet's Domain Name System (DNS) and the Berleley Internet Name Domain (BIND) software, the UNIX implementation of DNS, this book defines and covers the basic motivation behind DNS, and explains how to set up BIND software. The book also covers many more advanced topics, including who to become a "parent" (i.e. "delegate" the ability to assign names to someone else); how to use DNS to set up mail forwarding; and debugging and troubleshooting.
