But you know, this all kind-of reminds me of that old saying... The wonderful thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. :-) (In this case, this is nobody's fault, of course. This is just what happens when you develope some good code and put it out there for people to use. One day you wake up and decide to do a big re-write, and some subset of all of your fun-loving freeloading users will start to grumble that "You are changing the API!!") _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
