BIND 9.2.0 introduces a number of new features over 9.1, including: =B7 The size of the cache can now be limited using the= "max-cache-size"=20 option. =B7 The server can now automatically convert RFC1886-style recursive= =20 lookup requests into RFC2874-style lookups, when enabled using the new=20 option "allow-v6-synthesis". This allows stub resolvers that support AAAA=20 records but not A6 record chains or binary labels to perform lookups in=20 domains that make use of these IPv6 DNS features. =B7 Performance has been improved. =B7 The man pages now use the more portable "man" macros rather than= =20 the "mandoc" macros, and are installed by "make install". =B7 The named.conf parser has been completely rewritten. It now=20 supports "include" directives in more places such as inside "view"=20 statements, and it no longer has any reserved words. =B7 The "rndc status" command is now implemented. =B7 rndc can now be configured automatically. =B7 A BIND 8 compatible stub resolver library is now included in= lib/bind. =B7 OpenSSL has been removed from the distribution. This means that to= =20 use DNSSEC, OpenSSL must be installed and the --with-openssl option must be= =20 supplied to configure. This does not apply to the use of TSIG, which does=20 not require OpenSSL. =B7 The source distribution now builds on Windows NT/2000. See=20 win32utils/readme1.txt and win32utils/win32-build.txt for details. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
