Summary: Good in theory but not practice
Comment: This books gives an excellent theoretical understanding of DNS but fails on giving technical details on installation and trouble shooting. Getting this software running is not a simple process.
I don't have the O'Reilly DNS book but based on the other O'Reilly books that I use, I would assume it has more help on installation atc. I would certainly suggest considering it first.

Summary: I find myself going back ot O'Reilly's DNS and Bind.
Comment: I bought all of Craig's Linux Library books but NFS and Samba. They are all great books and easier to read than O'Reilly but I find myself using my O'Reilly DNS and Bind book over this one because Craig doesn't cover Bind 9 in detail such as rndc.
He also dropped the ball on giving complete info on how to install and configure Bind 9.
I hope the second edition is better. Until then, get O'Reilly's DNS book. You'll be glad you did.

Summary: If you only buy one, this is it.
Comment: If you can only buy one book for running BIND on Linux, this is your book. Craig Hunt walks you through configuring DNS for many straight-forward, day to day configurations, as well as some quite esoteric setups and needs. The coverage of security and BIND is quite good, with ample explanations of the security issues of running a DNS server, ways to stop the "common" hacks of BIND, and options to look into for greater security (DNSSec, dedicated DNS server, keysigning, etc). The book's organization lends itself to reading cover to cover, picking up more details and better understanding as you go, while skipping areas that may or may not be germain to your particular situation (BIND 9, DNSSec etc).
This series of books from Sybex is turning out to be one of the best for Linux Administrators, the other titles (that I own) cover SAMBA and Apache, and are just as well written and compotent. While their are other books on BIND out there (such as DNS & BIND by O'Reilly) this one is the most approachable, and without sacrificing techinical details of an often misunderstood topic.
