No, upgrading is not the *only* option, even if it is definitely the
I would recommend. You can certainly get BIND 8.1.1 to compile on
FreeBSD 2.1.7. See below.

Subject: Fixes for bind-8.1.1-T1A on FreeBSD-2.1.7.1 (and earlier)
From: sthaug@nethelp.no

bind-8.1.1-T1A doesn't compile "out of the box" on FreeBSD-2.1.7.1 and
earlier. This is partly my fault - when I did the original FreeBSD port,
I didn't have any 2.1.7.1 system to test on (only 2.2 and newer).
I still don't have a 2.1.7.1 system, but I've compiled 8.1.1-T1A on a
2.2 system, but in a 2.1.7.1 *changerooted* environment (ie. 2.1.7.1
include files, compilers etc).
There's only one real problem: The following line from port/settings
tickles a bug in the 2.1.7.1 sh:
eval "env=`echo \\${\$var-'$val'}`"
and you get the error message:
port/settings: 1: Syntax error: Bad substitution
The enclosed diff fixes this for FreeBSD 2.1.7.1. The resulting named
runs fine on FreeBSD 2.2.
I've also verified that the same .settings file (as the original) is
produced on these platforms:
SunOS 4.1.3/gcc
Solaris 2.5.1/gcc
Digital Unix 3.2G/cc
HP-UX 10.20/cc
when doing an "out of the box" compile (make clean; make depend; make).
Note that I've only verified that .settings is equal - I haven't tried
running 8.1.1-T1A named on all these platforms.
One other change suggested for FreeBSD-2.1.7.1 and earlier: AF_INET6
is undefined in 2.1.7.1 and earlier, and defined to be 28 in 2.2 and
newer (/usr/include/sys/socket.h). port/freebsd/include/port_after.h
currently defines AF_INET6 as 24 (if undefined). I'd suggest changing
this to 28, to be compatible with newer versions of FreeBSD.
