:> Instead, bind goes out of its way to fart around with interface scanning
:> and rescanning and all sorts of shit that it doesn't need to do.

: Not if you make the proper changes to named.conf.

: I haven't taken a serious look at the "sandbox" stuff for named in
:a while, but both first impressions and traffic on the various bind
:discussion groups indicates that it's doable for most installations. I'm
named.conf does not have sufficient functionality to fix the interface
scanning problem. The existing mechanism allows you to specify a
network/mask filter to filter out what results from the interface scan
actually get bound to, but this fails in a number of situations including
situations where you want to bind to interface aliases. I have yet to
get a single patch of mine committed, and I've submitted several (including
one that allows specific binding).
I don't know why Paul is so in love with the interface scanning junk.
The problem has nothing to do with ISC funding and more to do with the
development environment surrounding bind. I've been following these issues
for four years and am frankly amazed that they've made any progress.
