 # Bind Provider
 
 This provider simply maintains a directory with a collection of .zone files. We currently copy zone files to our production servers and restart bind via 
-a script external to DNSControl.

+## Configuration
+
+The BIND provider does not require anything in `creds.json`. It does accept some (optional) metadata via your dns config when you create the provider:
+
+{% highlight javascript %}
+var bind = NewDnsProvider('bind', 'BIND', {
+  'default_soa': {
+    'master': 'ns1.mydomain.com.',
+    'mbox': 'sysadmin.mydomain.com.',
+    'refresh': 3600,
+    'retry': 600,
+    'expire': 604800,
+    'minttl': 1440,
+  },
+  'default_ns': [
+        'ns1.mydomain.com.',
+        'ns2.mydomain.com.',
+        'ns3.mydomain.com.',
+        'ns4.mydomain.com.'
+  ]
+})
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+If you need to customize your SOA or NS records, you can do it with this setup.
+
+You can also provide a `-bindtree=directoryName` flag to change where the provider will look for and create zone files. The default is the `zones` directory where dnscontrol is run.
