I use djbdns extensively in a large network environment (hundreds of thousands of zones and servers) and it works just as well on my G4 laptop. If you're a heavy duty DNS guy, you might enjoy my other DNS links." Excellent. I am just a dumb programmer, not a sysadmin. It takes me hours to figure out how to configure something relatively simple in NetInfo, so this HOWTO is very welcome.

This is nice and good, but should such information not be put where it should, i.e in the collection of how-to document for darwin?

For a PDF from Apple on NetInfo, check out UnderstandingUsingNetInfo.pdf. I've looked it over, haven't read it yet, it seems to be a pretty decent intro.
