Your > experience will be appreciated. Well, I don't know if there are any oddities to your setup. At the very least, I'd recommend you run through your named.conf with "named-checkconf" from BIND 9. If it's an option, you could copy your named.conf + all the zonefiles etc to another server (or VM, zone, jail etc) and try to load it there. If you're running a pretty much standard authoritative server, it shouldn't be too hard to get this to work with BIND 9. > - is it possible to install bind9 without removing bind8 in order to could > easily and quickly swith from bind8 to bind9 and vice versa? As was suggested by others, if you compile from source it's easy to give each version a specific directory to live in. If you on the other hand like to go with some vendor supplied BIND for some operating system / distribution, I guess it depends on how it's packaged etc. Regards Eivind Olsen ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

If installing from source, you can build BIND 9 using ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bind9 (change path has you like to not overwrite existing). Jeremy C.

We used to compile different versions of bind9 to different locations using ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bind-$VER then use symlinks to switch between versions - that's probably your best approach. (We don't bother these days, and build OS packages and use cfengine to manage configs and versions) ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

Dear all, I plan to upgrade my nameservers from bind8 to bind9. I guess I will encounter some compatibility problems notably in the layout of the zone files - can anybody give me the point of attention for this upgrade? Your experience will be appreciated. - is it possible to install bind9 without removing bind8 in order to could easily and quickly swith from bind8 to bind9 and vice versa? Thanks for your support.
