Unfortunately, the Cricket Book is now pretty useless since it
describes the old configuration format. I had some success creating an
old-style configuration file and converting it to the new format using
the provided script, but it's kind of a hack and probably won't work
for more complicated setups (I have a caching nameserver with reverse
DNS for 127/8 and 10/8 and a fake forward DNS for ewox.org)
