I need to learn more about BIND DNS server to pass my job interview next Monday

[Greg Choules]

And you want to do this by Monday? Well good luck.

Here are some resources you might start with:

https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html
https://kb.isc.org/v1/en
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/dns-and-bind/0596100574/

The book is getting a bit old now, but makes handy reading anyway.

Hope that helps.
