+pld-linux.org's nameserver installation howto:
+----------------------------------------------
+
+author: Adam Golebiowski (adamg@)
+
+Requirements:
+- bind (no pdns nor djbdns, sorry)
+- subversion
+- cron
+
+Installation:
+
+1) checkout dns data somewhere into /var/lib/named 
+
+	# svn co http://svn.pld-linux.org/svn/admin/dns/ /var/lib/named/pld-dns
+
+2) include named.conf.pld in your named.conf file
+
+	# echo 'Include "/etc/named.conf.pld";' >> /var/lib/named/etc/named.conf
+
+3) if you have any zones defined in your named.conf, you need to put them inside
+   a view, simplest way is to change:
+
+	zone "example.com" {
+	...
+	};
+
+	zone "example2.com" {
+	...
+	};
+
+   to
+	view "world" {
+		match-clients { any; };
+
+		zone "example.com" {
+		...
+		};
+		
+		zone "example.com" {
+		..
+		};
+	};
+
+4) run a check.sh to see if everything is ok
+	
+	# cd /var/lib/named/pld-dns
+	# ./check.sh
+
+5) add a crontab entry for a check.sh script, like:
+
+	*/5 * * * * cd /var/lib/named/pld-dns; ./check.sh
+
+That's it.
