Walter: I have compiled bind 9.8.0 on Ubuntu Natty on a number of VMs on ESXi 
4.1 and 5.0. There have been no problems with either authoritative or recursive 
name services. The potential issues with NTP on virtual machines are, I think, 
not related. They have to do with the fact that the VM doesn't have access to 
the CPU all the time, so NTP sees large jumps in the clock periodically. 
Notwithstanding this, VMware now recommends using NTP rather than VMware Tools 
time synchronization for Linux guests. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006427 for 
more details. Jeff.

Subject: BIND/named on VM

Hello folks,

I would like to setup latest BIND/named [slaves] within VMware environment - is 
there any implications I should be aware of?
Since I saw some issues running NTPd on VMware - thinking may be 'named' might 
have similar issues...

Thanks,
WS
