Bind has 47,589,322 pages of documentation you can't search
unless you already know all the proper jargon. The actual docs
are the last place I ever want to look for anything :-).
Heh. If you're not sure of the terminology, bind is the
last thing you should be running¹. ;)
I'd argue that the overwhemling majority of folks on this
list are better served by a name server other than bind.
Use dnsmasq or something else for most home-based DNS
services (and even for plenty of production-grade DNS
services).
¹ A good friend of mine with too many scars from the early
days of bind would remove the qualifying condition from
that sentence. He's not wrong.
