While computers and other devices identify each other on
networks or the Internet by using unique addresses made up
of numbers, humans rely on the Domain Name System (DNS), the
distributed database that allows us to identify machines by
name. DNS does the work of translating domain names into
numerical IP addresses, routing mail to its proper
destination, and many other services, so that users require
little or no knowledge of the system. If you're a network or
system administrator, however, configuring, implementing,
and maintaining DNS zones can be a formidable challenge. And
now, with Windows Server 2003, an understanding of the
workings of DNS is even more critical.
DNS on Windows Server 20003 is a special Windows-oriented
edition of the classic DNS and BIND, updated to document the
many changes to DNS, large and small, found in Windows
Server 2003. Veteran O'Reilly authors, 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.
Besides covering general issues like installing, setting up,
and maintaining the server, DNS on Windows Server 2003
tackles the many issues specific to the new Windows
environment, including the use of the dnscmd program to
manage the Microsoft DNS Server from the command line and
development using the WMI DNS provider to manage the name
server programmatically. The book also documents new
features of the Microsoft DNS Server in Windows Server 2003,
including conditional forwarding and zone storage in Active
Directory (AD) application partitions.
DNS on Windows Server 2003 provides grounding in:
Security issues
System tuning
Caching
Zone change notification
Troubleshooting
Planning for growth
If you're a Windows administrator, DNS on Windows Server
2003 is the operations manual you need for working with DNS
every day. If you're a Windows user who simply wants to take
the mystery out of the Internet, this book is a readable
introduction to the Internet's architecture and inner
workings.
