However, if there were no basic instructions many chapters that exist at this moment could be truncated into 1-5 lines of text. Some other chapters show very nice balance between "mastering the art" and providing only the bare necessities.

I wouldn't run anything serious with this little knowledge but it is humming nicely in my virtualized environment. What was difficult was finding information. When I managed to gather all the required pieces the actual concepts and configuration was rather easy. If I had a good overview at the beginning finding the rest would have been faster and easier. The Bind8 specific dns chapter had a lot of that but it also lacked some parts. But yeah, that's all subjective.
