Abstract
DNS stands for "Domain Name System" when used as a term for the entire mechanism (see RFC 1034). "Domain Name Service" is fine when talking about the actual service itself, but the expansion of the acronym in the abstract should be changed to "Domain Name System".

Configuring a System as a DNS Client
In the resolv.conf example, there is no need to have both "search" and "domain" entries if they are both the same, and the "search" entry should be elided. Also, a reserved IP range such as 192.168.0.0/16 (or 192.0.2.0/24 - see RFC 3330) should be used in the examples, along with "example.com" (explicitly reserved for this purpose) over "yourdomain.com".
I'll get to the server bit later; the baby needs attention.
