Yep, O'Reilly and Associates has 2 excellent books on DNS. One for UNIX
BIND, and the other for NT DNS.:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565925122/techbooks01a (unix)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565925114/techbooks01a (Windows NT)
Both are very well written and well worth the purchase for anyone working
with DNS.
