[TriLUG] mozilla pause for ads

Don't know if this is any help to anyone, but here is some 
documentation I made describing my home DNS setup.  IANA-Bind-Expert, 
but this works very well for me.  I have RR, but have never experienced 
the DNS troubles many other RR customers complain about, having your 
own DNS server really works!

HTH, if anyone sees any glaring mistakes in my setup, please let me 
know...  :)
