* sentence style capitalization on headings
* remove all of the `iptables` references
* move `firewalld` rules out of the individual (8 and 9) sections so that these are global for both versions

 This is helpful, particularly when you add this DNS to our workstations because you want the DNS server to only respond when the IP address requesting the service is local and not react if the server or service is on the Internet.
