I have started working on a book focused primarily on authoritative DNS servers (PowerDNS, MaraDNS, MyDNS) as well as BIND with the SDB back-end NSD and DLZ BIND. The book shall *not* be a "this server is better than that one" but rather an insight into the individual programs, their features, strengths, and perhaps also their weaknesses. I intend to also focus on LDAP and SQL back-ends (where applicable) and concentrate mainly on authoritative servers, only slightly touching on recursive name servers. You could help to turn this project into something useful by giving me pointers on which topics (for the individual name server software) you would consider most useful to have included in a book. I'm also open to any ideas you might have or perhaps even wishes for topics, or pointers to solutions you might have implemented with the software. Thank you. -JP -- Jan-Piet Mens http://fupps.com
