Hi all

I send a similar request to the KAME group a while back but got no
response.

Recent versions of BIND have changed the name of one of the structure
members in nameser.h to be "class".

Unless this is a conspiracy by C programmers to ruin the lives of C++
programmers, I can't see any good reason for this choice. The
consequence, for me at least, is that I have to apply a number of
patches to the FreeBSD sources before I can build a release that
includes our firewall software (which is all written in C++).

I'm not sure who I have to beg/cajole/beat up/give beer to to get this
changed, but it really should be.
