Spoke to late :
Acme Byte & Wire acquired by the Network Solutions Registry
On June 7, 2000, Acme Byte & Wire was acquired by Network Solutions,
Inc. As a result, we are no longer accepting consulting engagements nor
teaching our DNS and BIND training classes.
So much for quoting from the DNS & BIND authors.. :(

Yes, I agree with you on the above, some of the consultants I have met over
the years and co-authored a presentation with just didn't get it that it
took more than just being able to claim you one of the six developers of a
security application, it was the understanding of the different services
that may or may not be allowed at a certain site and why..

I have met some pretty saavy admins and have seen servers kicked over (I
mean physically) because they couldn't figure out that updating the serial
number was a very important thing to remember.. :
