You will want to pick up the bible "DNS and Bind" from O'Reilly at your favorite book store.

You need this before Mr. DNS will answer any question but you can look through the FAQ's at the site.

Also look at BIND versions from ISC

TCP/IP book is good too...

Also, it wouldn't hurt to have the TCP/IP book by O'Reilly as well.

Check for this at used bookstores. I have found both for 1/2 price, if you have those types of stores in your town.

Also, check on www.amazon.com for used versions of these books. Save some money...

I think your first link is wrong. It should have a .html on the end.
