Yes, there is a similar book for MS-DNS, published by O'Reilly. It is "DNS on Windows 2000" by Matt Larson & Cricket Liu. I have both these books. I use DNS on Windows 2000 on two different computers just because it was easier to get started and seemed less prone to user mistakes in that it menu guided me through setup and it also wrote to the zone files for me. I'm considering setting up Bind on another machine as a third name server, primarily because of so many people here who swear by Bind and curse MS-DNS, but I haven't done it yet because things seem to be working pretty smooth using MS-DNS.
