  • The DNS server implementation must restrict the ability of individuals to use the DNS server to launch Denial of Service (DoS) attacks against other information systems.

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
