    -------------------------------
    O'Reilly DNS and BIND
    by Cricket Liu and Paul Albitz

    I think you are actually curious about SNMP...

    Best recommendation I can offer:
    -------------------------------
    O'Reilly Essential SNMP
    by Douglas R. Mauro and Kevin J. Schmidt
    ISBN: 0-596-00020-0

    Hope that helps.
    Cheers,
