Glad to hear it, and more documentation is always welcome.  Migration 
issues especially, since many people are skeptical on using the product 
since it's a steep divergence from just about every other system out 
there.  What sort of DNS problems were you having?  There is no specific 
interface between Bind8/9 and ldap, the configurations are created as 
local files by the ispman-agent and the named process takes over from 
there, meaning it should be one of the easier components.  The only 
things that sometimes give trouble are the dns configuration options in 
ISPman, about locations of the files and processes.  In many ways, open 
discussion on the mailinglist of just about any problem is a good first 
step towards more complete documentation, considering the list archives 
are usually the first place to be searched when users have problems.
