If youve been afraid of diving into the depths of DNS, maybe because your readings through a few RFC documents proved fruitless, then fear no more.
In the first few chapter your taught how DNS servers work, sparing no detail. Concepts like negative-caching, recursive resolution, and inverse queries are explained and demonstrated with great examples and graphs. The chapters on configuring and managing BIND almost make things look too simple and easy. This is also a great book to learn how to use tools like nslookup and dig.
When it comes to the world of DNS records its hard to find authoritative answers to questions, besides a few sites like Mr.DNS, the authors of this book recognized that need and sought to help fill the gap of knowledge.
