    --------------------------------------------------------
    The following changes have been made in this kit:

          Poisoning problem which could result in pharming attacks when
          the nameserver is configured as caching-only.

	- corrected intermittent problem with netcontrol domain restart 
	  command

	Note:  For further information on using RNDC, we recommend referring 
	to O'Reilly's DNS and BIND, 4th Edition.

	To run RNDC or RNDC-CONFGEN, define symbols:

	$ rndc :== $multinet:rndc.exe
	$ rndcconfgen :== $multinet:rndc-confgen.exe

    You need to restart the Nameserver for these changes to take effect.  The
    following commands will do it:

	$ multinet netcontrol domain shutdown
	$ @multinet:start_server restart
