Guix,

I've pushed an updated NSD as 
7382ecd81859de878b22a6510b8262abe69d38bf. We're now one server 
(PowerDNS) away from having all major name servers in Guix, though 
not all have services.

Thanks for the reviews, Marius & Danny! I never understood what's 
obscure about the regex, but I tried to make it a bit more 
self-explanatory.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Kind regards,

+    (description "@dfn{NSD}, short for Name Server Daemon, is an authoritative
+name server for the Domain Name System (@dfn{DNS}).  It aims to be a fast and
+RFC-compliant nameserver.
+
+NSD uses zone information compiled via @command{zonec} into a binary database
+file (@file{nsd.db}).  This allows fast startup of the name service daemon and
+allows syntax-structural errors in zone files to be flagged at compile time,
+before being made available to NSD service itself.  However, most traditional
+BIND-style zone files can be directly imported into NSD without modification.
+
+The collection of programs and processes that make up NSD are designed so that
+the daemon itself runs as a non-privileged user and can be easily configured to
+run in a @code{chroot} jail, thus making any security flaws in NSD less likely
+to result in system-wide compromise.")
