I cannot emphasize this point highly enough: The BIND in the base is intended primarily for use as a local resolver. If you are doing serious, mission-critical work with BIND you should be using a port, preferably dns/bind98. The ability to quickly update in the event of a security issue is one reason, another is the ability to use the same version of BIND across your network regardless of the underlying version of FreeBSD. If you are in any way worried that your flavor of FreeBSD isn't being upgraded soon enough, you are (by definition) in the category that should be using BIND from ports instead. hth, Doug -- "We could put the whole Internet into a book."
