The resolver and other
libraries/headers/etc. in BIND 8.1.1 are not yet ready for prime time.
Word is that 8.1.2 will have some or all of this stuff fixed, but the CW
for BIND is still build 4.9.6 to get the headers and libs (which we do)
and if you are running a publicly accessible nameserver build 8.1.1 to
get the better binaries and named.conf options. There's no way that BIND
8.x should ever go into FreeBSD 2.anything, except as a port, which we
already have. :) OTOH, once it's ready for prime time BIND 8 should
definitely be part of -Current, hopefully before 3.0-Release. That will
be good timing for the change.
