Yes, both 4.9.6 and 8.1.1 are out now. They both fix the phony injection problem shown by http://apostols.org/toolz/dnshack.cgi. I'm running 8.1.1 on my home machine and several (non FreeBSD) machines at work, and 8.1.1 works just great. I still think that it's a bit early to import it as the standard FreeBSD named. If you were to do this, I think you'd need to include as a minimum a big WARNING that the configuration file has changed dramatically, and an automatic conversion of any existing named.boot files. (Yes, I know named-bootconf.pl exists - but it's not run automatically as part of the installation.) Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
