overall, a good, simple explanation of how DNS works, but with one little inaccuracy, perhaps due to a hosting change since the tutorial was published.

Totally killar.

Uhm, wouldn't the local nameserver do the recursive lookup and just give the client 37.37.37.37 for www.dildomall.com directly?

Oh wait, the fact that I knew that means the presentation wasn't for me!

DNS requires bandwith management!

probably off getting some booze
