DNS in Twenty One Hours

Question

I want the equivalent online DNS resource in twenty days. I need one evening reading that will explain what different types of records do, how distribution and caching work, what SoA is, etc.

I don’t need anything that starts with an explanation of what DNS is.

Can someone point me in the right direction to find the DNS for Genius online guide, please?
