Praises and glory. :) At this time, 4.9.6 is a better solution overall because of the updated include and library files. Those who are running an actual name server (as opposed to a resolver only) should upgrade to 8.1.1 after a FreeBSD 2.2.2-stable install to get the better binaries and the flexibility of the new system. For those with pre-4.9.6 systems already installed, the CW that's being kicked around on bind-users@vix.com currently is that you may be better off upgrading to 4.9.6 first, then upgrading to 8.1.1 if needed for the reasons above. YMMV. Hope this helps, Doug Do thou amend they face, and I'll amend my life. -Shakespeare, "Henry V"
