"DNS Oversimplified  - .. or, even a rocket scientist can understand
DNS" -- cute

I /like/ that page and its links.

These days I also like to see what the wikipedia has to say on the
subject.  The current article is different than the last time I read
about DNS at the wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dns

It also mentions the AAAA record -- IPv6 vs IPv4 for the A.

I *LUV* the wiki -- I love it even more because sometimes it isn't
/quite/ right -- so whenever I look something up there, there's
motivation to keep looking and not quit just yet.  It represents a
distillation of a lot of information hither and thither -- some of which
isn't quite on the money, as might be expected.  It is also *great*
about being timely, fresh.
