+= Filesystem layout =\r
+\r
+On both deleuze and mire, BIND data lives in `/etc/bind`. This directory is seeded with the default files from the Debian `bind9` package. Additionally, we add a `zones` subdirectory.\r
+\r
+DomTool periodically deposits `/etc/bind/named.conf.local`, listing all of our hosted DNS zones and their master/slave statuses and configuration. DomTool also populates `/etc/bind/zones` with zonefiles referenced by `/etc/bind/named.conf.local`.\r
+\r
+== Permissions ==\r
+\r
+`/etc/bind/zones` should be owned by user `bind`, since BIND seems to like creating temporary files there. I've only yet seen this matter during updating of slave zone information.\r
+\r
+= Adding new hcoop subdomains =\r
+\r
+This is '''not''' done by editing anything in {{{/etc/bind}}}. Instead, see ["DomTool/AdminProcedures"].\r
