   Hi Leonid,

   I got the message, so it looks like at least something is working.

   From the advisory:

> NOTE WELL: If named(8) is not explicitly set to use DNSSEC the setup

   We are not using DNSSEC on either the internal or external BIND
instances.  We *are* using authentication keys for some of the internal
infrastructure (for dynamic updates) but not for the external, and
this facility uses shared-secrets anyway rather than PKI.

   I think we're OK unless we're going to light up DNSSEC in the near
future.
