Printed	Page 101 The tip.	A client will cache a Resource Record provided by the DNS server for the length of time that is specified in the RR's TTL. The maximum time a client will cache a record is 24 hours. The value mentioned(and the registry key) specify the highest value for the cache. e.g. If the TTL is 48 hours the client will only cache it for 24,yet if the TTL is lower then 24 hours,say 12, the client will cache the RR for only 12.

Printed	Page 111 3rd paragraph brggining with: Check "Enable...	Simply checking Enable Round Robin will not enable round robin since Netmask ordering (which is also enabled by default) takes precedence. When both are enabled, round robin will be in affect if inside the netmask ordering there will be several RRs that can be used. In addition to that it also might be beneficial to specify that DNS clients (drom Win2K) have a local mechanism that also uses Netmask Ordering before Round Robin.	Anonymous

Printed	Page 113 4th paragraph (Expires After)	The "Expires After" value defines the length of time after which the server will stop answering queries about a replicated zone if it can't replicate from the primary server. Nevertheless, the secondary server will attempt to contact the primary at intervals specified under the 'Retry Interval' value. The sentence "It dicatets how long a secondary nameserver will continue attempting a zone transfer from its primary server" in my opinion is wrong.	Anonymous

Printed	Page 151 3rd pargraph	OUs are designated as containers...This is somewhat confusing. AD has two types of conatiner objects: OUs and Containers. The difference between the two is that OUs can have GPOs linked to them while Containers can't. The distinction, in my opinion, is important.	Anonymous
