DNS & BIND Cookbook: Solutions & Examples for System Administrators

While computers and other devices identify each other on networks or the Internet by using unique addresses made up of numbers, humans rely on the Domain Name System (Dns), the distributed database that allows us to identify machines by name. Dns does the work of translating domain names into numerical Ip addresses, routing mail to its proper destination, and many other services, so that users require little or no knowledge of the system. If you're a network or system administrator, however, configuring, implementing, and maintaining Dns zones can be a formidable challenge. And now, with Windows Server 2003, an understanding of the workings of Dns is even more critical. Dns on Windows Server 20003 is a special Windows-oriented edition of the classic Dns and Bind, updated to document the many changes to Dns, large and small, found in Windows Server 2003. Veteran O'Reilly authors, Cricket Liu, Matt Larson, and Robbie Allen explain the whole system in terms of the new Windows Server 2003, from starting and stopping a Dns service to establishing an organization's namespace in the global hierarchy. Besides covering general issues like installing, setting up, and maintaining the server, Dns on Windows Server 2003 tackles the many issues specific to the new Windows environment, including the use of the dnscmd program to manage the Microsoft Dns Server from the command line and development using the Wmi Dns provider to manage the name server programmatically. The book also documents new features of the Microsoft Dns Server in Windows Server 2003, including conditional forwarding and zone storage in Active Directory (Ad) application partitions. Dns on Windows Server 2003 provides grounding in: Security issues System tuning Caching Zone change notification Troubleshooting Planning for growth If you're a Windows administrator, Dns on Windows Server 2003 is the operations manual you need for working with Dns every day.

DNS and BIND: Help for System Administrators

If you're preparing to roll out Ipv6 on your network, this concise book provides the essentials you need to support this protocol with Dns.

Managing Internet Information Services describes how to create services for the millions of Internet users. By setting up Internet servers for World Wide Web, Gopher, FTP, Finger, Telnet, WAIS (Wide Area Information Services), or email services, anyone with a suitable computer and Internet connection can become an "Internet Publisher."Services on the Internet allow almost instant distribution and frequent updates of any kind of information. You can provide services to employees of your own company (solving the information distribution problems of spread-out companies), or you can serve the world. Perhaps you'd like to create an Internet service equivalent to the telephone company's directory assistance. Or maybe you're the Species Survival Commission, and you'd like your plans online; this book describes a prototype service the authors created to make SSC's endangered species Action Plans viewable worldwide. Whatever you have in mind can be done. This book tells you how.Creating a service can be a big job, involving more than one person. This book separates the setup and maintenance of server software from the data management, so that a team can divide responsibilities. Sections and chapters on data management, a role we call the Data Librarian, are marked with a special icon.
