 From the Abstract:

   "Management of name servers for the Domain Name Service (DNS) has
    traditionally been done using vendor-specific monitoring,
    configuration and control methods."

Shouldn't that be Domain Name System?  That's what DNS stands for in 
RFC 1034.  "Domain Name Service" could be changed throughout the 
document to "Domain Name System".  There are several places in the 
document where "DNS service" is used.

In Section 2.1.2

   "Finding and managing large quantities of name servers would be a useful
    feature of the resulting  management solution."

I suggest "a large number" instead of large quantities".
