127: which are available in the port net/isc-bind. DNS Security
128: Extensions, or DNSSEC, hardens DNS. But learning DNSSEC requires
129: wading through years of obsolete tutorials, dead ends, and
130: inscrutable standards. Strengths and weaknesses of DNSSEC are
131: discussed, some of which may explain why OpenBSD does not support the
132: extended features by default.

1.52 millert 192: At 549 pages plus an index, <a href="http://www.awprofessional.com/title/0201549794">this book</a> must be considered comprehensive.
1.15 philen 193: McKusick, Bostic and Karels are well known as prime movers at
194: Berkeley CSRG (Computer Systems Research Group) during the 4.3/4.4BSD
195: period. This book covers the 4.4 and 4.4-Lite releases, and discusses
