How midlife became a crisis
The shifts associated with being in your 40s and 50s – gray hairs, career doldrums, a longing for something more – seem as inevitable as aging itself. It wasn’t always this way.The Conversation
@mwl Hi I’m reading your mailserver book, and I’m wondering if you can point me at resources to help me understand DNS in the specific context of running a recursive, non-forwarding, non-authoritative DNS server on a mail server.
I’ve been using a lot of this stuff for decades, and the more I understand it, the better I feel. The less I understand it, well, I still work with it, but I treat it with superstition, like I’m dealing with fae folk, where there are rules, but I’m not allowed to know them, so I’d best throw salt everywhere and behind my back make the sign against strong enchantment.
I know that there are A records and AAAA records and CNAME and TXT records and so on, and that there are zones, and authority zone hierarchies. But bind and rndc themselves have always remained, for me, arcane mysteries (always increment that serial number!) and I don’t know what forwarding or recursive mean. Why run (or why not run) a DNS server on every PC?
the best book on BIND is Liu's "DNS and BIND." It's old but still covers the basics.
Each network is supposed to have a recursive server to reduce load on upstream servers. quad-8 etc kind of broke that model.
pondering writing a DNS book late this year.
