Branch: pkgsrc-2008Q2, Version: 9.4.2pl2, Package name: bind-9.4.2pl2, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

BIND, the Berkeley Internet Name Daemon, version 9 is a major rewrite
of nearly all aspects of the underlying BIND architecture. Some
of the important features of BIND-9 are:

- DNS Security
DNSSEC (signed zones)
TSIG (signed DNS requests)

- IP version 6
Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets
IPv6 resource records (A6, DNAME, etc.)
Bitstring Labels
Experimental IPv6 Resolver Library

- DNS Protocol Enhancements
IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0
Improved standards conformance

- Views
One server process can provide multiple "views" of the
DNS namespace to different clients.

- Multiprocessor Support
- Improved Portability Architecture

Changes since 9.4.2-P1:

	--- 9.4.2-P2 released ---

2406.   [bug]           Some operating systems have FD_SETSIZE set to a
			low value by default, which can cause resource
			exhaustion when many simultaneous connections are
			open.  Linux in particular makes it difficult to
			increase this value.  To use more sockets with
			select(), set ISC_SOCKET_FDSETSIZE.  Example:
			STD_CDEFINES="-DISC_SOCKET_FDSETSIZE=4096" ./configure
			(This should not be necessary in most cases, and
			never for an authoritative-only server.) [RT #18328]

2404.	[port]		hpux: files unlimited support.

2403.	[bug]		TSIG context leak. [RT #18341]

2402.	[port]		Support Solaris 2.11 and over. [RT #18362]

2401.	[bug]		Expect to get E[MN]FILE errno internal_accept()
			(from accept() or fcntl() system calls). [RT #18358]

2399.	[bug]		Abort timeout queries to reduce the number of open
			UDP sockets. [RT #18367]

2398.	[bug]           Improve file descriptor management.  New,
			temporary, named.conf option reserved-sockets,
			default 512. [RT #18344]

2396.	[bug]		Don't set SO_REUSEADDR for randomized ports.
			[RT #18336]

2395.	[port]		Avoid warning and no effect from "files unlimited"
			on Linux when running as root. [RT #18335]

2394.	[bug]		Default configuration options set the limit for
			open files to 'unlimited' as described in the
			documentation. [RT #18331]

2392.	[bug]		remove 'grep -q' from acl test script, some platforms
			don't support it. [RT #18253]

2322.	[port]		MacOS: work around the limitation of setrlimit()
			for RLIMIT_NOFILE. [RT #17526]
