Hi Samad,
It's entirely possible to roll out a parallel BIND installation. We're
doing something similar at Brandeis right now--a mix of BIND and
PowerDNS servers. I take it that your current BIND setup is purely
authoritative? Or is it also handling recursive requests?

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
