The BIND version in FreeBSD-current is based on 4.9.5-P1, which was released 18 December 1996. I'd hardly call that ancient. The BIND version in FreeBSD-2.2.2 is based on 4.9.4-P1, which was released 5 August 1996. Not as good, but not exactly ancient either. Yes, I agree that bind 8.1 has features that some people really need. But a lot of people also need *stability*, and bind 8.1 is just new enough (released 6 May 1997) that it may not be wise to import it into the main tree yet. A better choice for most people would probably be 4.9.5-P2, which is just around the corner. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
