Email sever and DNS

[George at Clug]

I pruned my inbox a bit too much.


Thanks to who ever it was who recommended it !     I have placed an
order:
https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/ryoms-preorder/


When it is released, I will see how useful it is.



It has been a long time since I purchased a book on a topic, as all to
frequently the books never covered the detail I needed, and I had
found it more effective to do Internet searches and summarise the
information I was needing.

Does anyone have any recommendations on detailed books on Bind9 for
authoritative servers which would also include DNSSEC?


If anyone has knowledge in this area, I could do a few posts. 
Someone recommended a Bind9 email list, which I forgot to capture, so
please repost that link, if you read this.


I did find this web site that seems to give a good overview:

I'm not sure about books but there are many tutorials.

The first issue though is that bind directory layout varies between
distributions, so a tutorial for one distro will have to be adapted to
run on another.

This site is fairly comprehensive about how to do it on Debian 11 and 12.

https://wiki.debian.org/DNSSEC%20Howto%20for%20BIND%209.9+

However on reading it, I see that most directories are the same as what
I have but there are some small differences.

The main problem areas you will find are initial key generation and then
subsequent automatic signing of zones when you have made a modification.

It's a really good idea to check that the changes have actually been
taken up and made their way into the signed zone records. I always check
the syslogs to see if the zone transfers are of the signed records and
have the new SOA Serial Number.

BIND is a system as old as internet.
You could read the book ‘DNS and BIND’ by oreily.

Yes, thanks, that is a great book, I was trying to think of its name since the topics of DNS has reawaken my interest.

I am pleased it covers DNSSEC.

The fifth edition covers BIND 9.3.2,
