	If you mean across-the-wire: Bind 9 supports all the essential
features of Bind 8, but may vary in details.  The two are
interoperable as far as I lnow.
	If you mean "will my Bind 8 zone files work with Bind 9": yes,
with minor changes.  See the Bind 9 A.R.M., or find a conversion
guide on the Web.
