Novell NETWARE 6-DOCUMENTATION Manual page 1591

DNS data can be exported from eDirectory into BIND Master file format.
Root server information is stored in eDirectory and shared by all
eDirectory-based DNS servers.
Zone transfers are made to and from eDirectory through Novell servers
and include interoperability with non-eDirectory-based DNS.
A Novell DNS server can be authoritative for multiple domains.
Novell DNS servers maintain a cache of data from eDirectory so they can
quickly respond to queries.
A Novell DNS server can act as a caching or forwarding server instead of
an authoritative server for zones.
Novell DNS/DHCP Services supports multihoming.
Novell DNS/DHCP Services software supports round-robin processing
of responses to queries with multiple Address records (A records) for a
domain name.
