It's been a long time since I've read it, but if you go to www.isc.org, and click through to the bind8 page, you'll see a 1.3MB download for the bind8 documentation. Last I saw it, it was fairly comprehensive. Moving from 4.x to 8.x is trivial. The only change, is to the configuration file. The zone files stay the same. The config file itself is much cleaner and very straightfoward to manage. I don't remember which version of FreeBSD bind8 first showed up in, but unless I'm imagining things, it's always included man pages for named and named.conf. Read them, it's all the documentation you should need to get bind up and running.

I just finished ordering DNS and Bind from O'Reilly's It seemed to have good reviews, I might pick up the book you mentioned as well. I haven't been able to find a lot of information out there on Bind Version 8 under FreeBSD. Mostly, my biggest problem is that I've installed the sources, but don't know where to go from there besides editing named.conf. 4.x seemed to be more straightforward. - Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
