Install the package for bind 9.2.1. It is here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org//pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.7-release/net/bind9-9.2.1.tgz So do: 1. cd to your home directory (or some other place where you want the file) 2. fetch ftp://ftp.free... etc (as above) 3. su 4. pkg_add bind9* 5. put in your /etc/rc.conf: named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named" named_flags="-c /etc/namedb/named.conf" 6. reboot and watch for any errors, specifically: 1. Bind9 wants a TTL in each zone file. So if there are none in yours (Bind8 doesn't insist on them), Bind9 will complain. Maybe not even start. So what you then do is add in the beginning (after the comments, if any present on a separate line): $TTL 21600 The number is a suggestion. Could be more or less, depending on your needs. 21600 seconds is six hours. 2. Bind9 wants to starts rndc, which will probably not work. It is a program to talk with Bind9. You probably will not need it. So you can then ignore the error. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
