There are good things to be said about staying with third-party DNS hosting: they have capacity, redundancy, experience (one would hope anyway. :) ) Furthermore reasonably good DNS hosting can be had for free (or very close to it.) This is not to discourage you nor anyone else from learning DNS; but when doing so you might consider keeping the main zone hosted with professional DNS providers while delegating a "play" zone to your servers. Those who do wish to become DNS professionals might consider taking the training offered by ISC. My class was with Alan, and while I went into it with more experience than some class members had, it was an excellent exercise with lots of hands-on work. I think new DNS administrators come out of it with a lot more confidence. Some people like the dead-tree stuff, and while most of that's still relevant, it is impossible for printed media to keep up with the technology. The BIND 9 ARM is the source of documentation for BIND, and also helps new users get up to speed on basic DNS concepts. Highly recommended and readily available; you should have HTML and PDF copies of the ARM with your copy of BIND (check with your distributor to see if documentation is in a separate package.) Here's the link if you can't find your copy: https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01031 Finally, of course, this mailing list has a lot of experienced people, willing to help you out if you get stuck.
