Thanks for the snippy reply, Doug. Not enjoying your weekend, I take it? It's not really fair to consider a scenario whereby a FreeBSD system uses only a single version of BIND (yes, that includes all the binaries and other files), as if the admin is lacking in vision, or is unable to learn, or othersuch nonsense. I run BIND 8.2.5, 9.1.3, and 9.2rc4; even BIND 4 gets a look-in, due to a legacy installation that "mustn't be touched". Of course you should be able to have as many versions of BIND installed as you wish. That is not the issue, and I certainly never mentioned anything to do with it. I just asked for the upgrade path to be better documented. > Congratulations, you're the 89,512nd person to suggest that.

Thanks, gratuitous flaming like yours is both dull and unnecessary. :-( -- Regards, Juha To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
