	What happens when things break and you can't get in via the web 
server?  You and your replacement both need to know how to administer 
everything from a command-line prompt.  If you don't (or they don't), 
then you are screwed because sooner or later you (or they) are going 
to *need* to be able to do this.

	Use the BIND 9 mechanism of "Views".  Start with the information 
available at <http://www.menandmice.com/9000/9300_DNS_Corner.html>, 
and then buy a copy of the book _DNS and BIND_ (written by Paul 
Albitz & Cricket Liu), and make sure that you get the 4th edition.
