Problems with bind.4.8.3
we have discovered a problem with our bind.4.8.3. It does not correctly handel records of type TXT for zones where our DNS is a secondary for. What version of bind is the current production version and where can the source or patches be obtained from? What versions do you use? I have heard of the alpha and beta tests of a new version of bind, but I'd rather prefer, as I said, a production version. Willi Huber

As far as I know TXT records are not *standard* and should be avoided. -- ---------- ---------- Antonio_Blasco Bonito E-Mail: bonito@nis.garr.it GARR - Network Information Service c=it;a=garr;p=garr;o=nis;s=bonito c/o CNUCE - Istituto del CNR Tel: +39 (50) 593246 Via S.

As far as I know TXT records are not *standard* and should be avoided. Aw, come on! TXT records *are* standard: see e.g. RFC1035. They may not be *commonly* used, but they are frequently used nevertheless. And in certain cases I'd even consider them mandatory; e.g. each and every primary .NL subdomain has a TXT record associated with it that clearly identifies the domain; and in cases where I "reserve" a domain, I only enter a TXT record in the NL zone file.

What version of bind is the current production version and where can the source or patches be obtained from? What versions do you use? The DE-NIC makes available it's production use BIND version (4.8.3 with a number of patches) by anonymous FTP on host deins.Informatik.Uni-Dortmund.DE in directory DNS/src/bind.
I have heard of the alpha and beta tests of a new version of bind, but I'd rather prefer, as I said, a production version. yes, today the alpha version for 4.8.3 was made available...
