DNS Basic
Submission
I kept my blog post, for this challenge, as simple as I could. However, I have created own cloud-based, virtualized hosting environment which utilizes a primary and secondary DNS (a005b51a.nacits.com and a005d79c.nacits.com), running BIND.
This configuration is new, so the configureation of the primary DNS is working correctly and fully functional. The secondary DNS isn't finished, but soon will be.
My personal domain (bamajr.com) is hosted on this system. If you can get to http://bamajr.com/ then my BIND DNS is working for you, too.

I appreciate the simple approach you took. You were clear and concise. I think those who are new to the concept will be served well by the foundation you've established. You've also used pictures and code examples to satisfy 'different types of media' requirement. Well done.

I read the blog post and definitely understood the comparison of DNS to a telephone directory. It's a good way to explain what DNS is. I'd like to see a little more detail about how DNS works (maybe a bit of info about cacheing) but overall I think this meets the requirements.

Simple and concise explanations of what DNS is and how it works. Great comparison to a phone book. Also, I respect the terminal pics.
