  That's definitely a great suggestion, Cricket Liu also wrote the legendary DNS and BIND book. Can you give us a quick review of what you thought of the book, which sections were more (or less) useful, and what other reading you'd recommend?

  Let it never be said that I didn't do the very least I could do.

  Honestly, fear not the DNS is is very straight forward (do not build a mental wall where one does not need to exist).
  
  You might do well setting up a couple of servers and testing ZXFRs, creating secondary, forwards and stubs.
  
  I highly recommend anything from James Conrad (CBT Nuggets).

  I thought the entire book was great and it does a good job of covering areas that are particular to Microsoft. It also deals a bit with BIND integration. Sadly it was too long ago for me to recall any details about what I found most helpful.
  
  Stupidboy makes a good point about DNS being straightforward, it would seem to be. But then you get to that dang test and it clobbers you. The way I fix this is by over learning. I learn way more than I need to and it helps.
