Product Description
DNS on Windows NT is a special edition of the classic DNS and BIND, which Microsoft recommends for Windows NT users and administrators. It discusses one of the Internet's fundamental building blocks: the distributed host information database that's responsible for translating names into addresses, routing mail to its proper destination, and many other services. As the authors write in the preface, if you're using the Internet, you're already using DNS -- even if you don't know it.This book covers the DNS server in Windows NT 4.0, as updated with Service Pack 3. In addition to covering general issues, like installing, setting up, and maintaining the server, it covers many issues specific to the Windows environment: integration between DNS and WINS, converting from BIND to the Microsoft DNS server, and registry settings. It pays special attention to security issues, system tuning, caching, and zone change notification. It also pays detailed attention to issues like troubleshooting and planning for growth. Whether you're an administrator involved with DNS on a daily basis, or a user who wants to be more informed about the Internet and how it works, you'll find that this book is essential reading. Topics include: - What DNS does, how it works, and when you need to use it
- How to find your own place in the Internet's name space
- Setting up name servers
- Using MX records to route mail
- Configuring hosts to use DNS name servers
- Subdividing domains (parenting)
- Securing your name server: preventing unauthorized zone transfers
- Mapping one name to several servers for load sharing
- Troubleshooting: using nslookup, diagnosing common problems

This is the best DNS book I have read to date for supporting Windows 2000 DNS. If you can only afford one book on Windows 2000 DNS , this is the one to have, Paul and Cricket's knowledge and experience with DNS and Bind far exceeds all others!

I needed to get a grasp on DNS generally, and was told "DNS and BIND" was the best book existing. Unfortunately it was too fat a book for me. It spent too much time on BIND which was of no interest for me. Luckily I dicovered a slimmer version called "DNS on Windows NT" by the same authors. A fresh MCSE on NT4, I was really happy for this title. Full of expectations I started reading. And I was not dissapointed. It was like finding an easily accessible gold mine. So if you need knowledge on DNS generally, or on DNS on Windows NT4 specifically, don't hesitate. Buy this book!

Last several days I was seriously thinking about setup a MS DNS for my LAN. I could only found very little information on the internet about set up a MS DNS. But this book helped me to fulfill what I looked for. Especially CNAME & MX records.

More than I ever wanted to know about DNS! I purchased this book in preparation for Win2K Active Directory and DDNS- anyone planning a companies name space needs to have a thorough understanding of DNS. In the absence of a Win2K DDNS guide book I read DNS on Windows NT and it was worth the time. Chapter 4 is all you need to setup a NT 4.0 DNS server, but the book goes way beyond the basics. It thoroughly covers subdomains, advanced features, troubleshooting and nslookup. Also, if you never really understood the in-addr.arpa domain, you will after this book. With the knowledge gained from this book, I know I am better prepared for DDNS and Active Directory.

This book is straightforward yet concise. I had no experience whatsoever with DNS before purchasing this book and now have all my DNS servers up and running with no problems. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who needs to set up a DNS Server on NT fast and effictively.
