DNS is pretty straight forward and follows the RFC pretty closely for the
most part.
I've migrated Solaris to Windows and back again. Linux with various Distros
and various versions of NT. It's pretty kewl.
Take the extra time to learn how to conifgure Host Headers in DNS and make
it work with various HTTP Servers like Apache, IIS, Tomcat, etc.
Trust me time spent learning DNS will never be wasted.
The newest releases of BIND and the use of Views is nice too. We used it in
the last Data Center my team built. Kinda kewl using when mixed with
VMWare.
Let me know if you have questions offline.
