+### BIND DNS Resolver
+
+The proxy provides recursive DNS resolution for the internal network (141.56.51.0/24).
+
+**Configuration:**
+- **Service**: BIND9 recursive resolver
+- **Listen address**: 141.56.51.1
+- **Port**: 53 (UDP/TCP)
+- **Allowed networks**: 127.0.0.0/8, 141.56.51.0/24
+- **Forwarders**: 9.9.9.9 (Quad9), 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare)
+- **IPv6**: Disabled
+
+**Usage:**
+All hosts in the internal network can configure their DNS resolver to use `141.56.51.1` for name resolution.
+
+Example configuration for other hosts:
+```nix
+networking.nameservers = [ "141.56.51.1" ];
+```
+
+**Why BIND?**
+- Provides caching for frequently accessed domains
+- Reduces external DNS queries and improves performance
+- Allows central control of DNS resolution policies
+- More reliable than relying solely on external DNS servers
+
+### Chrony NTP Server
+
+The proxy serves network time to all systems in the internal network.
+
+**Configuration:**
+- **Service**: chrony NTP server
+- **Port**: 123 (UDP)
+- **Allowed network**: 141.56.51.0/24
+- **Upstream servers**: pool.ntp.org
+- **Sync mode**: Fast initial sync (iburst)
+- **Fallback**: Serves time even if not synced (stratum 10)
+
+**Usage:**
+Other hosts can synchronize their system time with the proxy:
+
+```nix
+services.chrony = {
+  enable = true;
+  servers = [ "141.56.51.1" ];
+};
+```
+
+Or for systems using systemd-timesyncd:
+```nix
+services.timesyncd = {
+  enable = true;
+  servers = [ "141.56.51.1" ];
+};
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Centralized time synchronization for all internal hosts
+- Reduced external NTP queries from HTW network
+- Consistent time across all StuRa infrastructure
+- Local fallback if upstream NTP servers are unreachable
