I attended my first DNS Training course presented by Bill Manning at
ICANN Rio de Janeiro March 2003.
In December 2004, ICANN came to Cape Town - and Johan Ihrén (now
Stenstam) and Bill Manning taught DNS together.
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!
Since about 2008, I have been partnering Johan in DNS Training -
primarily in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
The two courses are now "Intro DNS" and "Advanced DNS (including DNSSEC)".
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!
The "old terms" are now somewhat forgotten.

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
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-knodel-terminology ) came along. It
solved a big problem for me personally, and I do not want go back using the old
terms.
