Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES! I just got thru updating my unbound doc at http://troubleshooters.com/linux/unbound_nsd/unbound.htm , and added a new glossary. This is very necessary because there are so many contradictory terms for things over the Internet. I'm not saying my glossary is the most accurate resource on the Internet, but I think my glossary probably does the best job of de-contradicting terms people throw around. I spent three weeks writing this glossary. It was one of the toughest docs I ever wrote: Tougher than any one chapter in Samba Unleashed.
