I should clarify I wasn’t a upper level sys admin managing those servers, I just used them or maintained accounts being a rank and file technician
While I get the fundamental concept of DNS as a phonebook for your IPs. I am not sure why it is joked around if something goes haywire or someone breaks something.
Is it because if you get no DNS, people can’t log in through their AD accounts, browse the Internet?
Afaik DNS is a bit of a rabbit hole topic, maybe that’s why people joke about it due to DNS being this “No one really knows how this magic name matching box works”?
Please correct me, I’d genuinely like to know why this is prevalent from you guys.
I’ve been an IT professional for about thirty years and I’ve literally never heard a single person anywhere ever find DNS funny or joke about it. It would be like joking about bicycle tires or salt. It’s such a mundane thing that has nothing interesting or funny in it.
it’s akin to lupus in House MD. relax a little guy.
Yeah I never found that amusing. But, humor is subjective. I was merely stating my personal perspective. In no way is my opinion to be taken as some authoritative proclamation.
