Hi, thanks for this patch! I think it can go in the DNS module.
I wonder, how does it relate to the BIND that replaces the bundled BIND
in isc-dhcp, which I've noticed often requires security updates?

The descriptions needs the quotation marks around the acronym
description to be escaped. Otherwise, it doesn't work for me.

This server is unavailable over IPv6 connections:

I wonder if there is a better URL?

Does "force-test" mean that the test suite will return success even if
there are some failures? If so, this should explicitly stated in a
comment.
