That's exactly why I did that :). I'm currently self-hosting my services 
on debian, and I would like to move to guixSD at some point, so I'm 
writing services I need.

I have never written a system test, so I don't know how it works. If we 
check only that requests are answered correctly locally, I think that 
would be great but limited to the "master" scenario. Then there is the 
"slave" scenario, where we would need a zone transfer between two hosts. 
And we could also check that transfer occurs only to authorized slaves.

I didn't know it existed, but it looks nicer indeed. I'll see what I can 
do.

I'll be away for a few days, but I'll send patches as soon as I can.
