 ===== BIND9 setup =====
-Setting up a OpenNIC ready Tier 1 server requires your DNS to slave all the TLDs within the OpenNIC name-space. We will go through each zone below (this document will be updated as more zones are created). Alternatively, this page will show how to configure bind9 to automatically update available TLDs and their master servers.
+Setting up a OpenNIC Tier 1 server, requires creating slave zones for all the TLDs within the OpenNIC name-space.
-As you can see below, all my zones reside in ''/etc/bind/zones'' and ''/etc/bind/zones/slaves''. You will have to change that to suit your style of setup. It is also recommended you run bind in a chroot jail, and that additional Tier 1 servers are listed as masters in each zone for redundancy. Below is the root zone, add this into your ''named.conf''.
+Each zone is presented below. This document will be updated as new zones are created.

+This page will show how to configure BIND9 to automatically update available TLDs and their master servers.
+In this example BIND9 configuration, zones are stored in directories "/etc/bind/zones" and "/etc/bind/zones/slaves".  A Tier 1 BIND9 server may be deployed using other directories.  BIND9 directories are different in different computer operating systems.
+Run BIND9 in a chroot jail.
+Tier 1 servers are listed as 'master' in each zone for redundancy.
+Begin with the '.' root zone; add the following directive statement, to the BIND9 ("named") configuration file "named.conf".
+== named.conf: ==
 <code>
 zone "." {
 	type slave;
