this is just one of those cool nerdy posters for those of you who like this kind of thing, and for those of you like me who feel like DNS is completely perplexing.

Quite amazing!

It's still all very complex but it looks prettier :D

A picture says more than a thousand words.

For some people this might be the key to understanding DNS, search engines, and such. though; because some learn visually, others are good at comprehending volumes of textual information. I think it's great to put effort into "presenting knowledge" in different ways (for different people).

It might very well help me understand and explain these things better to others.  :up:

Excellent!
Just sent the PDF to a couple of IT Admin buddies!

Good work, Mouser.

Oh hey wow, I kept avoiding this thread cuz I figured it was posters for sale or something. And I thought, hey, I don't need more things to buy. But now downloadable high quality PDF's, that's something I can get behind! Sweeeet.  :-*

It is very well done, but it seem to be more confusing for me than to understand it  :P
