and BIND
Written by Paul Albitz, and Cricket Liu. Published by O'Reilly This is one of the first books I had in my collection and is perhaps the best work O'Reilly ever published. "DNS and BIND" is written about the BIND (UNIX) version of DNS but much of the info pertains to both the NT and the UNIX versions. You will find many examples to show you how things should be set up. Even a beginner can quickly become a DNS expert after reading this book. |

2000 DNS
Written by Jeffrey Graham, Andrew Daniels, Roger Abell, Herman L. Knief. Published by New Riders. It is a book written by computer professionals (not by professional writers, alas) for computer professionals, not newbies. Understanding of Internet (Windows 2000) domains is, I think, presumed. Previous experience with other DNS systems (UNIX and/or NT) would be very useful to get most of this book. There are a lot of extremely useful details. The chapter that lists troubleshooting utilities (all in one place with short but detailed description) should save you a lot of time, if you haven't used them before. Chapter about WINS (NT dynamic name resolution) and its interaction with Windows 2000 DNS is a must read. If you are going to deploy Windows 2000 in any decent scale (not just one computer to play with), this book should be in your arsenal. |
