+<h2><a name="bind_configuration_management">BIND CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT</a></h2>
+<p>Cobbler can optionally manage DNS configuration using BIND.</p>
+<p>This feature is off by default and must be turned on by setting 'manage_dns' to 1 in
+/var/lib/cobbler/settings. You may restrict the scope of zones
+managed with the options 'manage_forward_zones' and
+'manage_reverse_zones'.
+<p>Cobbler will use /etc/cobbler/bind.template and
+ /etc/cobbler/zone.template as a starting point for the named.conf
+ and individual zone files, respectively. These files must be user
+ edited for the user's particular networking environment. Read the
+ file and understand how BIND works before proceeding.</p>
