Format:Paperback
Not too bad if you need to know how to use the various tools available. However, almost completely useless if you want to setup and run a DNS server, because the author completely fails to tell you how to register the actual nameserver for your domain that your server will be managing, and how to check to see if the nameservers are configured correctly.
This might be easy pie for most, but for a beginner it's not obvious, and if it's so simple, why not cover it in the book?

I think this book'd be ok, if I were able to keep my eyes open long enough to make it through the chapters.
I've bought *many* (too many?) Dummies books over the years and enjoy their chatty delivery and page turning explanations, this one, whoa boy, this one's different. Page after page of words, followed by more words. the word 'zones' cropped up with no explanation as to what these new found 'zones' were - or maybe I were day-dreaming that I were reading 'Long Walk to Freedom' + 'War and Peace' and 'the Complete Works of Dickens" simultaneously. I'm persevering as I'm kinda hoping that it's going to make sense to me but I keep finding myself too eager to dismantle my pencil and jab it through my tongue.
Considering I'm only on page 25 ... I'm kinda thinking I'm not going to make it without stapling it to my forehead.

DNS for DUmmies - Unveiled
1 April 2008
Format:Paperback
This book pretty much unveiled the mysteries behind DNS. What used to seems like the science for only network engineers, now seem so easy to understand and practical.
If you are new to the world of networking, and want to do deeper, this book is a great launch pad.

Excellent Book
29 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book for both beginners and those with some knowledge of DNS and how it works. It starts with the basics and includes how DNS relates to TCP/IP and the OSI model. It continues with setting up your DNS servers and troubleshooting. It continues on with more advanced concepts and security issues. All this is in a very readable format.
