Re: [webmin-l] webmin BIND dns setup

[Joe C. <jo...@sw...>]

Hi James,

Vernon's pointer to my books BIND chapter and additional BIND 
documentation will be a good start.  Once you've gotten started, you'll 
have some ideas for what specific questions you need to ask.  It's 
nearly impossible for us to answer such an open-ended question--there 
are books written about configuring BIND because it is a very big topic 
(the indisputable best book being the O'Reilly book "DNS and BIND" by 
Cricket Liu and Paul Albitz, which I highly recommend to every system 
administrator...it's probably the first book a system administrator 
should add to his or her collection).

I also wanted to add that you should upgrade to the latest version of 
Webmin.  1.170 is a bit old.  The latest version 1.220 will have fewer 
bugs, have more features, and possibly have security fixes (though I 
don't recall any specific security issues since that version) over 1.170.
