Topics covered in the tutorial include:
DNS administrators who wish to extend their understanding of how
to configure and manage name servers running BIND9. Attendees
should have some experience of running a BIND8 or BIND9 name
server and be familiar with DNS jargon for resource records, as
well as the syntax of zone files and named.conf. This tutorial
will answer the question, "I’ve set up master (primary) and slave
(secondary) name servers. What else can I do with the name
server?"

infrastructure for the corporate network, one of the biggest in
the world. He has over a decade’s experience in writing and
teaching training courses ranging from kernel internals, through
system administration and network security, to DNS
administration. He’s a frequent speaker and tutorial presenter
