That is a big issue for me...as I have quite a few secondaries who are running NT 4.9.whatever and I always come up with "record too short" when I do a named-xfer from Bind 8.1.1 (2.2.5-RELEASE) but works flawlessly when I retrieve the zone info from any of several 4.9.6 versions of Unix BIND. Other than that, 8.1.1 has a few goodies under the hood which convinced me to install it on my main DNS boxes last May. I wrote a csh script (my perl still sucks but I'm getting there :), to convert my *.boot, primary and secondary zone files to the 8.X format in about 30 minutes. > 8.1.1 compiles and installs out of the box on all FreeBSD's I've tried it > on and it seems to work well, so I'm sure it will happen, but not right > away... > > Gordon -- John-David Childs (JC612) Enterprise Internet Solutions System Administrator @denver.net/Internet-Coach/@ronan.net & Network Engineer 1031 S.
