We felt that this change created added safety for certain types of responses from potentially misconfigured servers, but now believe it is hurting more than helping. We are planning a patch release to revert to previous behavior. We hope to get BIND 9.7.1-P1 released to our forum members this week and to the public shortly after. This patch will also include an unrelated compatibility fix for responses from some non-BIND servers. What were those issues? Will this change be configurable? Can I echo Matus' questions (especially the first) here? It would be very helpful for those of us contemplating a move from BIND 9.6 to 9.7 to know more about this. -- Chris Thompson Email: c...@cam.ac.uk ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

The strictness checking may be added again in a future version, with ample notification and any backwards-compatibility support that may be required. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
