Title: Out-of-date instruction on DNS
Product review: The book provides out-of-date info on NT 4.0 DNS configuration, making the whole process confusing and does not do justice to the NT 4.0's ncie DNS feature. Contrary to the author claim, NT DNS can be easily configured with the GUI NT DNS adminstrator and it works well with UNIX BIND DNS. In fact, Microsoft's white paper on NT DNS provides correct and concise info on configuring and using NT DNS, and it is free for downloading on Microsoft's web site. I recommend that users of NT DNS read Microsoft's free white paper for DNS configuration. Another point is that the new edition added a lot of pages to the earlier edition, but not much more info (added a lot of personal stories, jokes, etc.). The new edition is a typical example for making a useful book less useful.
