This is okay... nothing exciting., May 11, 2003
I've you've used BIND much at all and are familair with DNS and how
it works a little, and have just read the install, readme, etc. files,
you probably won't get much out of this book. BIND has a lot of options
and there's a lot to discuss, but this book just covered a lot of
basics over a lot of pages. It may be a good source for learning, but I
wasn't reading it to learn from start. |
Great book for the more DNS savvy geeks, May 7, 2001
Reviewer:
Bryan W Bailey (see more about me) from
San Antonio, Texas United States
I would say this is one of the very best DNS and BIND books out there
although it is by no means for a DNS beginner. It covers alot of the general
aspects of BIND but you definitely need a pretty good understanding of how
the domain name system works. It is straight and to the point but does lack
in some areas as far as errors that you run across and practical solutions
that you often run into running a dns server.

An
advanced book., April 3, 2001
Reviewer: A reader
I like the book in question. It covers several fields of
DNS and BIND administrating not seen in other books. It
also cover advanced fields like for example DDNS. It is
clear that the writer knows what he is talking about.
I feel that the book is not for the first-timer in DNS,
although it gives a good overview of those items too. You
should know a little, and then this book explains why
things are the way they are and how to fix your many
errors... For people who have looked at DNS, maybe dabbled
a litte, it is a great way to learn it the proper way.
Sadly, the Que-layout isn't up to O'Reilly standard, but
if you ignore that, it is a really good book. |

Anything Else, September 22, 2000
Reviewer:
Sean Nel (see more about me) from Pretoria, Gauteng South Africa
After struggling for two weeks trying to figure out Linux Server setups
(specifically DNS) I got this book. This was the third book I bought (the
other two just confused me more) and I wish I bought it first. It is clear
and concise with good examples. It is readable and not just DBA-jargon and
for once someone understood that if you are going to buy a book on how to set
up a DNS, It means that you most probably are not familiar with all the
little hidden details that needs to be remembered along the lines.
I would suggest this book to everyone, from the
first-timers (newbies?) to the more proficient webmaster looking for some
more internet security!

A classic in the making,
September 12, 2000
Reviewer: Gary Olsen from Atlanta, GA
This is a great DNS book - to rival the DNS and Bind book by O'Reilly. Like
the Bind book, this one gives a basic understanding of how DNS works, but it
explains it in terms of Windows 2000 rather than Unix like the O'Reilly book.
It gives some great practical examples. I work in customer support,
supporting network and system administrators and every customer who calls
with a DNS question, I recommend this book.
One review in Amazon said it doesn't do a good job of explaining Active
Directory - but AD is not in the realm of DNS - you need other sources to see
how AD works.
All you need to know about Windows 2000 DNS, May 20, 2000
Reviewer:
J. Nick Otto (see more about me) from Virginia
This book does an excellent job of covering Microsoft's latest version of
DNS. The book covers many of the details of DNS services from the foundations
of DNS to the implementation as put forth by Microsoft. A certain amount of
knowledge about Windows 2000 and Active Directory is required to follow much
of the book, but this is to be expected (and rightfully so) from a specialty
book.
Successful Windows 2000 deployments, and Active Directory implementations,
will require a solid DNS solution. This book provides all the information
needed to successfully deploy Windows 2000 DNS, including integration with
existing DNS servers.
The authors provide helpful guidelines for "best practices" and system
maintenance issues. They also cover legacy support issues for WINS and other
"downlevel" situations.
This book is a very complete reference and guide to understanding the
importance of DNS to the Windows 2000 system administrator. It would be an
excellent addition to any System Administrator's reference library.
