I have read a few in the “Dummies” series and found them to be very good, but not as high level as the titles would suggest. This book is, however, very high level. It is very basic. If you know nothing about DNS, this is the book for you. If you have a basic understanding of DNS, then I would not recommend this book. Rating: 3 / 5

This is an excellent book for both beginners and those with some knowledge of DNS and how it works. It starts with the basics and includes how DNS relates to TCP/IP and the OSI model. It continues with setting up your DNS servers and troubleshooting. It continues on with more advanced concepts and security issues. All this is in a very readable format. Rating: 5 / 5

This book pretty much unveiled the mysteries behind DNS. What used to seems like the science for only network engineers, now seem so easy to understand and practical.
If you are new to the world of networking, and want to do deeper, this book is a great launch pad. Rating: 4 / 5

The book is so so. It’s really not for anyone that doesn’t have a working knowledge networks or computers. There are sections that are not very well-explained and i’ve run across grammatical errors.
The book is not without some value but it could be much better written. I wonder if Mike Minasi has written any books on DNS…his books are usually pretty good.
