How about:

http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html

on his site you will find all reasons why not to use bind
and what will go wrong :)

Configuring bind is easy - as long as you make no errors.

My error was this:

$ORIGIN 20.168.192.in-addr.arpa.

@      7200   IN     SOA   echnaton.serveftp.com. postmaster.peter-dambier.de. (
                                20050328   ; serial
                                1200       ; refresh after 20 min
                                480        ; retry after 6 min
                                36000      ; expire after 10 h
                                1800 )     ; minimum TTL 30 min

        7200   IN     NS     echnaton.niflheim.

229    7200   IN     PTR    elch.n.


Ok, echnaton.serveftp.com is my DNS.server.
but what do I need postmaster.peter-dambier.de. for?

As long as I tried to leave this away my bind never worked.

postmaster.peter-dambier.de. reads as
postmaster at peter-dambier.de.

That is an email address. Bind wants to have it. Just in
case anybody sees a bug and wants to contact you.

In my lan that made no sense. So I left it out.
That is why it did not work.

I have read the book. Nevertheless it took me long to
find out.


Kind regards,
Peter and Karin Dambier
