"DNS on NT" Released
Ora-News
O'Reilly and Associates has just released "DNS on Windows NT"--a
special edition of the classic "DNS and BIND". "DNS on Windows
NT" 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. The authors pay special
attention to security issues, system tuning, caching, and zone
change notification as well as providing detailed information on
troubleshooting and planning for growth.
