I am not sure that there is a difference. For me, "default" is "the behaviour you get when you do the absolute minimum of work", which is, for most Unix, typing "aptitude install bind" or "emerge bind" or "pkg_add bind". For most Unix, things "just work" after that and many sysadmins will not go further. The fact that the default is in the code or in the installed config file seems irrelevant to me. Which means, BTW, that the "default BIND behavious" may not be choosen by ISC, but by Debian, Gentoo or FreeBSD. (The good thing about config files is that you can put comments in them, such as "uncomment this only if you know what you are doing".) _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
