Doc Error: Debian GNU/Linux Network Administrator's Manual Chapter 8 - DNS/BIND

[tarecaro84]

I have a simple doc fix if someone would like to submit it.  It could be a
tricky error for people who try to follow the example.

In:
http://www.us.debian.org/doc/manuals/network-administrator/ch-bind.html#s8.4
.2.2

                file "192.168.100.rev";

Should be:
                file "192.168.100.db";

I like the ".db" name over ".rev", as reverse is clearly indicated by
"in-addr.arpa".

Hmmm...  as I said, I vote for remove building these problematic
documentation.

I agree. It's already on the TODO. [1].
        "Urgent TO-DO list:
        * Ruthless stale documentation reaping. "

Also as mentioned on this message[2] I think the sources should be kept
for historical purposes and/or in case of resurrection; As well could
be referenced as "Archived" meaning, at least, no more
updates/editing/building. There are at least three "planned" items in
the "Problematic" category that could be labeled and referenced as
"Proposed". Those items "Archived" and "Proposed", relate to TOPICS[3],
the TODO[1], and DDP as a whole[5]. The hierarchy has yet to be
finalized[4].

<btw> a little about me is here[6]. I would like to join the ddp and
assist where I may. Guide me gently please. <vbg>.
