[CLUE-Admin] speakers needed

[Dave Hahn]

I'd be happy to do a DNS talk.  It's a rather large topic tho'.  Any
particular points of interest?  General overview on how the system
works?  Ins and outs of running a DNS server?  Software options? 
General information about what you should know about your domain?
