Note that BIND 8 is in "end-of-life", having been
replaced by BIND 9.
See http://www.isc.org/ for more details.And indeed, BIND 9 has been in preparation for several years,
has been in an
extended test release phase for the last 6 or 8 months, and
with the release
of 9.1.0 a few weeks ago, is a far better choice than BIND
8.2.3 for most
systems. It's also compatible with BIND 8's configuration
file syntax.
Thank you Paul, the web-site wasn't clear on that. Therefor, I haven't even
looked at it much.
