|
|
<P>I want to thank all the people that I have bothered with reading
|
|
this HOWTO (you know who you are) and all the readers that have
|
|
e-mailed suggestions and notes.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>This will never be a finished document; please send me mail about
|
|
your problems and successes. You can help make this a better HOWTO.
|
|
So please send comments and/or questions or money to
|
|
janl(at)langfeldt.net. Or buy my DNS book (it's titled "The Concise
|
|
Guide to DNS and BIND, the bibliography has ISBNs). If you send
|
|
e-mail and want an answer please show the simple courtesy of
|
|
<EM>making sure</EM> that the return address is correct and working.
|
|
Also, <B>please</B> read the
|
|
<A HREF="DNS-HOWTO-10.html#qanda">qanda</A> section
|
|
before mailing me. Another thing, I can only understand Norwegian and
|
|
English.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>This is a HOWTO. I have maintained it as part of the LDP since
|
|
1995. I have, during 2000, written a book on the same subject. I
|
|
want to say that, though this HOWTO is in many ways much like the book
|
|
it is <EM>not</EM> a watered down version concocted to market the
|
|
book. The readers of this HOWTO have helped me understand what is
|
|
difficult to understand about DNS. This has helped the book, but the
|
|
book has also helped me to think more about what this HOWTO needs.
|
|
The HOWTO begot the book. The book begot version 3 of this HOWTO. My
|
|
thanks to the book publisher, Que, that took a chance on me :-)
