Pretty much verbatim from the old days of the berkely format of the 80's I'm no bind guru by any sort of means, and I know there were significant changes between bind 8 and bind 9. I was more curious why it was considered lame server whereas prior to CentOS, it worked well, and was not considered lame under BSD.

Part of that problem is upstream, which I can get corrected *I think* :-) Snowman -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
