In addition to the UNIX SA book by Nemeth, Seebass, et al. recommended by Doug White, you'll want a copy of TCP/IP Network Administration from O'Reilly and Associates. It has enough about DNS to get you up and running, but you've already ordered DNS and Bind. Any of the O'Reilly "blue" series will be helpful, but buy them as you need them. Others in the series include Sendmail (bat book) and NFS/NIS. I'm a big fan of the O'Reilly series. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
