 Hi Jeremy

 Replying to [comment:5 jreed]:

 > re-configure it and how to disable.

 I think the section before the newly added static data source section
 and the newly added section describe it enough now.

 > I think the docs need to state what the static.zone is:
 >
 > BIND 10 provides a zone file for the CH (Chaos) class for providing
 > information about the server via the AUTHORS.BIND and VERSION.BIND TXT
 > records.

 This has been added now.

 We can rename this file if necessary.

 a space and one has a slash?

 Michal has explained this in the last comment.

 > By the way, the static.zone file has a confusing comment suggestion to

 This heading comment has been updated.

 > The dig examples assume localhost. Maybe mention that. And the prompt

 > shell versus bindctl).

 This has been described now in the adjacent doc.

 > I pushed one minor fix: 7915732b2210e5540a74041eb759b13af0f6c405

 This look good.
