I'd like to know if there is any advantages in upgrading BIND to 9.8 instead of using the base install version. I'd really appreciate if you can give me some hints of the best way to do it for future needs while retaining all the advantages of the base install configuration. I found this article on the net " http://static.closedsrc.org/articles/dn-articles/bind9.html" but it's seems to be outdated * PS: I'm new FreeBSD convert user coming from Linux world :) -- * *Iqbal Aroussi* *+212 665 025 032* *iqbal@aroussi.name*
