1. Preamble

This document is part of the Linux Documentation Project.

1.1 Legal stuff

1.2 Credits and request for help.

This will never be a finished document; please send me mail about your problems and successes. You can help make this a better HOWTO. So please send comments and/or questions or money to janl(at)langfeldt.net. Or buy my DNS book (it's titled "The Concise Guide to DNS and BIND, the bibliography has ISBNs). If you send e-mail and want an answer please show the simple courtesy of making sure that the return address is correct and working. Also, please read the qanda section before mailing me. Another thing, I can only understand Norwegian and English.

This is a HOWTO. I have maintained it as part of the LDP since 1995. I have, during 2000, written a book on the same subject. I want to say that, though this HOWTO is in many ways much like the book it is not a watered down version concocted to market the book. The readers of this HOWTO have helped me understand what is difficult to understand about DNS. This has helped the book, but the book has also helped me to think more about what this HOWTO needs. The HOWTO begot the book. The book begot version 3 of this HOWTO. My thanks to the book publisher, Que, that took a chance on me :-)
