DNS in Action: A Detailed And Practical Guide to Dns Implementation, Configuration, And Administration (Paperback)
暫譯: DNS 實戰：DNS 實作、配置與管理的詳細實用指南 (平裝本)

The Domain Name System is one of the foundations of the internet. It is the system that allows the translation of human-readable domain names into machines-readable IP addresses and the reverse translation of IP addresses into domain names. This book describes the basic DNS protocol and its extensions; DNS delegation and registration, including for reverse domains; using DNS servers in networks that are not connected to the internet; and using DNS servers on firewall machines. Many detailed examples are used throughout the book to show perform various configuration and administration tasks.
