I would recommend checking out Slicehost's articles and ebook on DNS topics:

They have helped me quite a bit. From my experience, I would say the following are the most useful concepts to grasp:
* Knowing the difference between an A record and a CNAME record
* Understanding MX records (especially with the prevalence of Google Apps for email)
* Understanding SPF records (helps if you have a web app or form that sends mail)
- dc2k08 18y agothat's a big help callmeed, just the sort of thing i was looking for. thank-you very much. not being sure what search terms i should use, i was coming up with a lot results for "domaining" frustratingly. the registrar i am using is joker.com.
- callmeed 18y agoNo problem. Don't forget, some DNS records are managed with your host, not your registrar. For example, most of my domains are registered through Hostway or GoDaddy, but I do most DNS management through Slicehost or Rackspace.
