Hello.

My name is Steve Snyder.

I would like to contribute a DNS server to OpenNIC, and have a few 
questions to that end.

1. The OpenNIC DNS Wiki gives instructions for setting up Tier 1 and 
Tier 2 servers.  Why would I opt for one over the other?  Which is most 
in demand?

2. The server housing my proposed DNS server (BIND 9 running in a 
chroot'd environment) has very good uptime, but is limited to 3TB/month 
of network traffic.  Is this limit sufficient to host an OpenNIC DNS server?

3. Reading through the BIND set-up doc on the OpenNIC DNS Wiki I am 
surprised to see no references to DNSSEC.  Did I just miss something or 
are the OpenNIC zones not signed?

4. After I have configured BIND per the OpenNIC doc, how do I submit my 
addresses (IPv4 & IPv6) for inclusion in the public list of available 
OpenNIC DNS servers?

Thanks.
