So, it seems like a Good Idea to upgrade my copy of bind (:-). I pulled down the port for bind-8.2.3-REL and it seems to build just fine. Before I install it, however, I thought I'd ask if anyone has run into installation and/or configuration issues. -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm - home page, resume, etc. http://www.cfcl.com/Meta/md_fb.html - The FreeBSD Browser email: rdm@cfcl.com; phone: +1 650-873-7841 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
