May I ask WHY you are doing this, and if the decision has been
discussed? There are serious implications regarding the libraries and
include files with BIND 8, including problems with the resolver. These
problems go way beyond the cosmetic problems related to the conf file.
Here is a quote from the INSTALL file:
Shared Libraries
Absolutely no support exists for editing the system's shared
libraries to update the resolver. If you want to do that you
probably want to look at BIND Version 4 (see
http://www.isc.org/isc/)
or wait a while or help out a lot. This means you probably do
not
want to install the library or include files into /usr/lib or
/usr/include, and this kit helpfully puts everything into
/usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include for that reason among
others.
Are these issues being considered, and if so what are the solutions
proposed?
