Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!

I just got thru updating my unbound doc at
http://troubleshooters.com/linux/unbound_nsd/unbound.htm , and added a
new glossary. This is very necessary because there are so many
contradictory terms for things over the Internet. I'm not saying my
glossary is the most accurate resource on the Internet, but I think my
glossary probably does the best job of de-contradicting terms people
throw around. I spent three weeks writing this glossary. It was one of
the toughest docs I ever wrote: Tougher than any one chapter in Samba
Unleashed.
