 Essential if you're running an Exim mailserver, 2008-08-11
Whilst documentation for Exim is freely available on the website there is no substitute for having the book sat on your desk in front of you.
This book is extremely well written and well organised, the index will take you straight to the information you require and from that other relevant topics continue on subsequent pages. Peter Hazel's authoring skills are very much like his software engineering - pretty damn good!
Having been running Exim servers for 3-4 years this book is a well worn addition to my library. If you're involved in configuring, maintaining or administering Exim mailservers then it should be a central part of yours too.

"THE" DNS lead for the coming 5-10 years !!, 2008-12-24
Coverage:
- 8 Name servers (MaraDNS, MyDNS, PowerDNS, Bind, NSD, tinydns, ldapdns, dnsmasq)
- 5 caching name servers (Bind,PowerDNS,DNSCache, DNSProxy, Unbound)
- many Perl based scenarios
- Load balancing
- A HUGE variety of DNS Backend types (text files, DB, LDAP etc.)
- DNSSEC
- internationalization (i18n)
- OS Coverage of Windows and Linux
- incredible amount of detailed DNS products coverage never seen elsewhere !!
ADS is Mr. Jan Piet's Answer to the variety of DNS servers thats out there. Equipped with roughly 700 pages and a 40p. detailed Index !! he is describing at least 11 !! type of DNS servers.
( more if you count the variations and perl versions).
Regarding OS coverage the author stays in the Windows (Cygwin), Linux area but I think its fair to say that BSD and any *nix type system is not to much different to use.
The author is not just describing the DNS projects but illustrating their strength and weaknesses in countless carefully prepared scenarios.
Wether its the basics of how zones work or other nitty gritty details f.e where you place the caching DNS, how the resolver works or more specific special case scenarios - its all covered.
Once you ran through the preparation part of the book you basically run through a huge variety of case scenarios separated in 24 chapters.
The first 18 describe the DNS products and their usage, the next six describe operational issues (updating issues, internationalization, DNSSEC, Performance, Security etc.)
An 8 chapter strong appendix delivers background on subjects you might require additional help for coverage you might simply not find in any other books. f.e the not so known programming language LUA.
By the time you have worked through the book you will have inherited the equivalent of a bulk of not less than 5-10 years of senior system engineering experience.
I particularly like that the book is obviously well structured. The instructions detail level is thorough, instructive and inspirational at the same time.
The book is not only teaching you how to use the DNS projects, but also how to think outside of the box to enhance them f.e with Perl, scripting etc. to make them fit and work towards your needs.
I have never seen anything like it for the DNS sector within the last 10 years or more, neither in the USA, nor in Europe or Asia.
If your company or profession is closely related to DNS based products or their usage you owe it to yourself to pay close attention to this book.
This book is highly recommended !!
