Summary: Well-Written, Organized and Informative
Review: DNS and BIND, Fourth Edition makes mastering this critical service easy. As someone who is trying to increase my knowledge of server-side services and the Linux operating system, I found DNS and BIND to be extremely helpful.
The authors seem to have found the ideal mix of humor, information and tips and taken that and rolled it into a very organized title. The book's chapters proceed in a logical order, a newbie can read the title cover to cover, while a more experienced admin can start in the middle somewhere and proceed to the back cover.
This reviewer was very impressed with the level of organization in this title. I have read alot of computer books, but it would appear that the authors really put the extra effort into this one.

Summary: A tough topic explained well and accurately
Review: DNS is a tough topic to explain; especially to those of us that have always worked in the Microsoft/WINS world. This book does a great job of that. The book is accurate and well organized and it holds a reserved spot on my shelf of regular reference guides. I recommend a little bit of basic knowledge of DNS when starting this book and then re-read the first chapter or two, but it does a great job of explaining DNS so that even Microsoft-centric people like me can understand.

Summary: Internet in a BIND
Review: Given the history of security flaws with BIND, and its inferior performance compared to some other DNS server packages (such as DJBDNS), I found so large a book to be woefully inadequate in representing DNS as an Internet protocol, instead painting it merely as a supported feature of BIND.

Summary: I wept, I laughed, I made money by reading this book!
Review: Great book! I you have a job that entails the correct and proper operation of a DNS, this book is the only book you need. Even if you are foolish enough to run DNS on NT, this book is a must have. It is so good that no one has even attempted to write a competing book.
