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.

Great Dummies book on DNS, with great explanation of DNS basics and more advanced topics, with good comparison of Windows with Unix.

DNS is incredibly complicated to master. You need to start off slow before hitting the hard books.

This book may be OK if you’re still running on Windows NT or Windows 2000 servers. It’s just so out of date now and there’s no mention of Mac OSX or how to integrate with that. returned mine!

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?
