Q: I get error messages like "named.conf:99: unexpected end of input"
where 99 is the last line of named.conf.

A: Some text editors (notepad and wordpad) fail to put a line title
indication (e.g. CR/LF) on the last line of a text file. This can be
fixed by "adding" a blank line to the end of the file. Named expects to
other errors in the master file as it still has an in-core copy of the
old contents.
+Q: I want to use IPv6 locally but I don't have a external IPv6 connection.
+ External lookups are slow.
+
+A: You can use server clauses to stop named making external lookups over
+ IPv6.
+
+ server fd81:ec6c:bd62::/48 { bogus no; }; // site ULA prefix
+ server ::/0 { bogus yes; };
