Thank you, JP. Nice blog post. Very enlightening.

Thank you as well, Bjørn. I might skim through the RFC, but JP's post is 
much lighter reading. ;)


Quite a contrast to the required semicolons in the BIND configuration 
files. Many a time, when I first started using BIND, it would throw 
errors at me because of a missing semicolon inside curly braces or right 
after the closing one.
