DNS & BIND is a huge overkill for understanding DNS. In my opinion, the only people who need to read this book and know DNS at this level - are those who administer these services. Save yourself some cash and hours of driving nails with your forehead - do some Google searches for the basics of DNS or pick up the phone and call me. If you could find a DNS for Dummies book, you'd be better off. There's no better book (so I'm told) than the one you purchased if you want to install and maintain your own DNS server, but with today's technology, there's no way I'd let you do it without first giving you a stern lecture. :-) eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww.

I got it years ago after having "learned DNS" and was quiet disappointed. Good books teach me new tricks about things I already master. - ask The book also only covers an older version of Bind and the DNS tools.
