Next step, maybe they'll let someone write an article about us on Wikipedia.

knowledge is something you have (or don't), intelligence is something you do (or don't)
in reply to Evan Prodromou

my spontaneous POV on this:

Knowledge is a collection of information.

Intelligence is understanding that knowledge and knowing what to do with it.



@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?

in reply to Read along with Matt

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.
