The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the Internet's fundamental building blocks: the distributed host information database that's responsible for translating domain names into numerical IP addresses, routing mail to its proper destination, and many other services. This new book on the subject is a special Windows-oriented edition of the classic DNS and BIND, one of our most successful titles, now in it's fourth edition. Veteran O'Reilly authors and DNS experts Cricket Liu, Matt Larson and Robbie Allen explain the whole system in terms of the new Windows Server 2003, from starting and stopping a DNS service to establishing an organization's namespace in the global hierarchy.
