Research on DNS and/or BIND...

Folks,

	I'm doing some research for a chapter I'm writing on the DNS in 
an upcoming book.  I'm trying to find some good papers on the DNS 
and/or BIND specifically.  Through the bind-users mailing list, I 
recently found out about the paper at 
<http://cider.caida.org/~evi/sigcomm/paper.html>, and from this paper 
I found out about Peter Danzig's paper at 
<http://catarina.usc.edu/danzig/dns.ps.Z>.

	However, if anyone on this list knows of any others that might be 
interesting, I'd love to hear about them.


	Also, I'm trying to find out as much information as I can 
regarding various implementations of nameservers (both freely 
available and commercial).  Obviously, I know about BIND, and I am 
also aware of djbdns and dents.  I also know about the list of 
programs mentioned at 
<http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/vendorware.html>.

	But what about others?  If you know of any that I have not 
mentioned, please let me know.


	Also, I'd be interested in knowing about any books you may be 
aware of that touch this topic.  I am aware of the books listed at 
<http://www.dns.net/dnsrd/books.html>, and searches on Amazon and 
Barnes & Noble have turned up the following additional books:

newsgroups not already referenced on the DNSRD.


	Thanks!
