Because I wanted to try the `gopher` TLD, but without delegating my
whole DNS traffic to OpenNIC, I've written a small document on how to
use the OpenNIC DNS servers to resolve **only** the `gopher` domains.
At the following link I cover how to achieve this via either
`dnscache` or `unbound`, both recursive resolvers that one can easily
install on his system.

Moreover, in the second part of this document, I describe how one can
delegate a `gopher` domain to its own authoritative DNS server.

Hope this is useful,
Ciprian.
