This book focuses on the implementation and interoperability of Windows 2000 DNS with other current DNS architectures. Most DNS implementations are UNIX-based (BIND) and MS administrators will need to acquire stronger knowledge in this area. This book will focus on integration and less about Microsoft positioning (i.e. the shortcomings of different DNS models and how Microsoft tries to be "cutting edge".)

Besides covering general issues like installing, setting up, and maintaining the server, "DNS on Windows 2000" tackles those specific to the Windows environment: integration between DNS and Active Directory, conversion from BIND to the Microsoft DNS server, and registry settings. Readers will acquire a grounding in security issues, system tuning, caching, zone change notification, troubleshooting, and planning for growth.
