Second paragraph

Although I am not 100% sure, in my opinion
[x0042/8] IN DNAME ip6.movie.edu

should be replaced by
[x42/8] IN DNAME ip6.movie.edu

Second paragraph under "A Limitation of MX Records",

This paragraph has the "preference" concept for MX records reversed. That is to say
that the text explains that a higher MX preference would indicate a more preferred
mail exchanger, when in fact, a lower preference is better.

Example:

"Since the U.S relay is at a higher preference, all mail will go through that
relay..."

If you want mail to go through the U.S. mail server, it should have a lower
preference.

This entire paragraph has the preference reversed, not just the one example sentance
above. The entire paragraph should be re-written to make the desired point.

zone definition for _msdcs.fx.movie.edu

This zone definition (like the _sites one above) refers to the wrong
file: db._upd... instead of db._msdcs... This is corrected in the
errata but the corrected version leaves out this important line:

check-names ignore;
