<p>I attended my first DNS Training course presented by Bill Manning
at ICANN Rio de Janeiro March 2003.<br>
In December 2004, ICANN came to Cape Town - and Johan Ihrén (now
Stenstam) and Bill Manning taught DNS together.<br>
</p>
<p>Anyway, we (UniForum S.A. - now ZARC) started presenting DNS
Training in South Africa in 2006 to local ISPs. We were the folk
that managed the CO.ZA registry and people were saying we didn't
know how to do DNS - so what better than to have international
folk that taught the subject!<br>
</p>
<p>Since about 2008, I have been partnering Johan in DNS Training -
primarily in Johannesburg and Cape Town.<br>
The two courses are now "Intro DNS" and "Advanced DNS (including
DNSSEC)".<br>
Initially, I guess, we used the old terms - but that quickly
changed to Primary and Secondary. The old terms used to
occasionally catch me out at times, especially in my own
configurations... and all this happened in South Africa!<br>
The "old terms" are now somewhat forgotten.<br>

I've been teaching DNS for over 30 years now, and I have always been uneasy using the old terms. I've used to "dance around" them, mentioning them once and using different terms all along in the training. That was not good for the students, it was confusing.
I was glad when RFC 8499 (and <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-knodel-terminology">https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-knodel-terminology</a> ) came along. It solved a big problem for me personally, and I do not want go back using the old terms.
(for context: I'm from Germany)
