What's trivial to one is a mystery to others - DNS for Dummies is what I 
want! Seriously, some of us are good at samba,  others at mail configs, 
others at firewalling etc, etc.  It's statements like
"get it delegated to you, and that's where you'll start to have fun" where 
the problems start, which is why I'd like a hands-on session, possibly 
looking at someone's running DNS server. I have no trouble with a simple 
cacheing/forwading setup - that really is simple.
