The second paragraph under "Finding IP Addresses" now reads:

To look up the IP address for ftp.isc.org, for example, you could use:

% nslookup ftp.microsoft.org 207.69.188.185

This instructs nslookup to query the name server running on the host
at IP address 207.69.188.185 to find the IP address for
ftp.microsoft.com...

If all the DNS addresses in the text were be ftp.microsoft.com (instead of
ftp.isc.org, ftp.microsoft.org and ftp.microsoft.com), this would make sense.

It might be good to state in the second paragraph under "DNS Manager",

where you refer to the installation procedure, which computer is going to be
the DNS server for movie.edu. The reader can conclude this on the next page
(it's terminator.movie.edu, 192.249.249.3), but it wouldn't hurt to tell it to
reader a bit earlier.

The 2nd paragraph reads:

This replaces the quainter 'I refuse to talk to myself' error in
newer versions of sendmail.

This sentence seems strange because this chapter doesn't talk about sendmail
at all, but suddenly "sendmail" appears here. I checked "DNS & BIND," and the
same sentence appears there. Maybe the sentence was copied from "DNS & Bind"
mistakenly?

The FOR syntax for the multiple primaries batch file is incorrect. In

the example there are two percentage characters (%%) where there should be only
one. The example should read:

FOR %i IN (wormhole carrie) DO sc \%i stop Microsoft DNS Server
FOR %i IN (wormhole carrie) DO xcopy C:WinNTSystemDNS \%iC$WinNT
SystemDNS /Q /Z

FOR %i IN (wormhole carrie) DO sc \%i start Microsoft DNS Server

In line 7 of the first paragraph under "Caching-Only Servers," change

"0.in-0.addr.arpa" to "0.in-addr.arpa".

second paragraph

The text states that server will ignore delegation and forward query to its
forwarder address. In Microsoft Knowledgebase article Q182227, this problem is
listed as fixed in SP4.

I have verified this using servers running SP6a and a network sniffer.
