Dear DNS/BIND gurus, I am the sole Unix/Linux/Backup Admin for a midsize city in California. I also inherited a old DNS/BIND (BIND 8.2.2-P5) system running on a Sun-Fire-V210 with Solaris 8 on it. The city is comprised of a hotchpotch of many Windows domains/domain-controllers, WINS servers, and Windows based recursive DNS servers. My DNS/BIND skill set is elementary and I just ordered two DNS books to start learning it in depth (DNS & BIND Cookbook and DNS and BIND; 5th Edition<http://www.amazon.com/dp/0596100574/ref=pe_175190_21431760_C1_cs_sce_dp_3> ).
1- Is it possible to treat the entire environment as brand new, start building a couple of Linux name servers running the latest and greatest BIND S/W, start populating it in parallel with our current production system, and once the new system is completely up and running, turn off the two Sun-Fire-V210s. 2- If step#1 is possible, as a minimum (H/W, S/W) what do I need for a complete DNS/BIND system satisfying all the city's DNS needs (internal/external resolutions). Any architectural/implementation/best practices advice would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance, SA
