the command line by editing /var/named/config/named.conf, or by editing said
file via the GUI. If done in the GUI, named is restarted for you, if done

Hey Community! Just a gentle nudge that we are still accepting entries for
the iRules Contest through 5pm pacific on the 30th of September. Yes,
that's only 15 days from now! I see several iRules flying by in the forums
each week that are no brainers for consideration. Take this nice example
