tackle next is DNS, as it would be very handy if I had my own DNS server. I
have looked at <A href="http://www.djbdns.org/">www.DJBDNS.org</A> and of
course Bind. Now while I am happy to read enough, to get to grips with these
programs; I really just wanted to provide authorative entries for a couple of
dozen domain names. Well as The DNS & BIND book is now discounted at
amazon I have placed my order!! Any other advice?
