Jeremy Sowden c93817f30b Correct GFDL text embedded in document sources
The invariant sections clause doesn't quite match the official text.  It should
read:

  with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts

not:

<title>What is Split DNS</title>
<para><firstterm>Split DNS</firstterm> is simply a configuration in which
the IP address to which a DNS name resolves is dependent on the location
of the client. It is most often used in a NAT environment to insure that
local clients resolve the DNS names of local servers to their RFC 1918
addresses while external clients resolve the same server names to their
public counterparts.</para>

<title>Setting up Split DNS</title>
<para>Setting up Split DNS is extremely simple:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Be sure that your firewall/router can resolve external DNS
names.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Install the <emphasis role="bold">dnsmasq</emphasis> package
(<ulink
url="http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html">http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.htm</ulink>l)
and arrange for it to start at boot time. There are many dnsmasq
HOWTOs on the Internet.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Add your local hosts to <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> on the
firewall/router using their local RFC 1918 addresses. Here's an
example:<programlisting>#
# hosts This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
# On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
# "named" name server.
# Syntax:

# IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname

<para><emphasis role="bold">And that's it!</emphasis> Your local clients

<para>Example:</para>
<para>From an Internet Host:<programlisting>gateway:~ # host linksys.shorewall.net
linksys.shorewall.net has address 206.124.146.180
gateway:~ # </programlisting></para>

<para>As a bonus, dnsmasq can also act as a DHCP server. Here are some
excerpts from the corresponding /etc/dnsmasq.conf:</para>
