A year or so ago, I tried the then-current release versions of BIND 4
has been obsolete, dead for years
As of less than a year ago, it was being offered by ISC as a release
version.
, BIND 8
same
http://www.isc.org/ shows BIND 8.4.7 as being a release version. Talk
to them about it being obsolete. :)
, and BIND 9 for Windows
Bind 9.3.2 works well, ime.
Here are my notes from less than a year ago:
"BIND 8.4.6 seemed great... but, it had reverse DNS problem"
"BIND 9.2.5 [doesn't work well at all]. 100% CPU on all processors"
"BIND 9.2.2 [doesn't work well at all]: hangs every so often."
"BIND 9.3.1 [doesn't work well at all]: It uses 100% CPU on all
processors."
Perhaps 9.3.2 fixes all these issues. But given the history, you
recommending BIND for Windows would be like, well, um, you recommending
Windows over Unix. :)
I think the problem is that some windows machines are not stable
platforms due to mixed up version of dlls, apps messing with system
stuff they shouldn't be messing with, memory leaks, etc.
BIND can be very stable on most machines, but unstable on specific
machines. This situation is decreasing as the ISC people figure out how
to make BIND more immune to sick windows platforms.
Well put. <G>
