Thanks for the help with my BIND problem...

I wanted to wait with my posting till this year because some people are
not reading news christmas->this year...

The question was:

   In article <1993Dec16.184101.20536@solaris.rz.tu-clausthal.de>, I wrote:
> We are using bind.4.9.2.930917 which sometimes drops a core (problems
> with it's internal hash-tables). Is there a newer version?

The answer is:

   BIND 4.9.2 is a *beta* release with some bugs. The newest official
   version is 4.9 and is available via FTP from ftp.uu.net. Get the file
   /pub/networking/ip/dns/bind/4.9.930517.tar.Z.

The answers i got:

BIND 4.9.2 is in _beta_ release. It's distribution to public FTP
servers is a mistake. The newest stable version of BIND is v4.9
and it's available from ftp.uu.net.

======================================================================

From: gdmr@dcs.ed.ac.uk (George D M Ross)

Yes, but it's only available to beta-testers (as was supposed to be the case
with the one you're running). You could try asking paul@vix.com, but he'll
probably suggest you wait for the general release version.

======================================================================

Thanks for your help,
  Bye,
    Wolfgang.
