Agreed... But dns is how the internet works.. And he is a techy.. Never wondered how www.google.com gets you IP address?
Yes, I have been around for years, but never really focused on DNS. I was just going through the psSense book and decided to see what was happening with my own system.

eh knowledge come to a price

@kiokoman Yes, but how is the IP6 book a tenth of the size? I assume it's a typo, but I still thought it was funny.
-
nope. "this concise book provides the essentials you need to support this protocol "
generally speaking someone should read the first book and than the second one. dns concept are, for the most, the same for ipv4 and ipv6 -
Yeah you need to read the first one first ;) But I threw in link to IPv6 one because that would get his motor running.. He is the local ipv6 Drum Major ;)

I remember very well, in the old days when Compuserve offered something called a 'gateway' to a new network called 'Internet' (had to install a program called "SPRY Mosaic" to 'browse' that network). Yahoo had a site that permits to search the available resources. Google, as a site and competitor, came some time afterwards.

Remember the old trumpet winsock program to get tcp/ip back in the day ;)
So yeah back at the birth... So how is some 25-30 years later just now getting around to figuring out how dns works.. Just funny to me is all. Happy to help... That book is very good read.. Back when I read it 1st or 2nd edition ;) Early 1990s time frame.

As someone else mentioned, you can't know everything and I hadn't focused on DNS. I am aware of how it works, with root servers etc., but my attention was elsewhere. All I was doing the other day is seeing how pfSense matched up with what was in the book and used Wireshark to see what was happening, as I often do.
