You can certainly get BIND 8.1.1 to compile on >FreeBSD 2.1.7. See below. I was not aware that there was a solution available for compiling BIND 8.1.1 on FreeBSD 2.1.x systems, congratulations. Now if only the ISC will see fit to include it. :) Fred wrote to me indicating that he got it to work, so more power to him. In any case, I agree that upgrading to FreeBSD 2.2.x is still a better option. :) The only thing that confuses me is whether or not I should install the 8.1.1 libs in the real locations, or leave them in the "safe" directories that the installation routine puts them in. It runs fine following all the defaults, so I haven't messed with the other yet. I plan to set up a test system to fool with asap, but it's not a priority. Anyone have experience with this?
