309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews BIND 9.2.0 has a number of new features over 9.1,
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews - The size of the cache can now be limited using the
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews "max-cache-size" option.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews - The server can now automatically convert RFC1886-style
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews recursive lookup requests into RFC2874-style lookups,
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews when enabled using the new option "allow-v6-synthesis".
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews This allows stub resolvers that support AAAA records
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews but not A6 record chains or binary labels to perform
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews lookups in domains that make use of these IPv6 DNS
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews - Performance has been improved.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews - The man pages now use the more portable "man" macros
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews rather than the "mandoc" macros, and are installed
9ab3b369d941e5b97fd6694ca3f3aedf5c7f3a7bMark Andrews by "make install".
9ab3b369d941e5b97fd6694ca3f3aedf5c7f3a7bMark Andrews - The named.conf parser has been completely rewritten.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews It now supports "include" directives in more
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews places such as inside "view" statements, and it no
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews longer has any reserved words.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews - The "rndc status" command is now implemented.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews - rndc can now be configured automatically.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews - A BIND 8 compatible stub resolver library is now
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews - OpenSSL has been removed from the distribution. This
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews means that to use DNSSEC, OpenSSL must be installed and
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews the --with-openssl option must be supplied to configure.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews This does not apply to the use of TSIG, which does not
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews require OpenSSL.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews - The source distribution now builds on Windows NT/2000.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews See win32utils/readme1.txt and win32utils/win32-build.txt
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews for details.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews This distribution also includes a new lightweight stub
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews resolver library and associated resolver daemon that fully
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews support forward and reverse lookups of both IPv4 and IPv6
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews addresses. This library is considered experimental and
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews is not a complete replacement for the BIND 8 resolver library.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews Applications that use the BIND 8 res_* functions to perform
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews DNS lookups or dynamic updates still need to be linked against
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews the BIND 8 libraries. For DNS lookups, they can also use the
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews new "getrrsetbyname()" API.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews BIND 9.2 is capable of acting as an authoritative server
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews for DNSSEC secured zones. This functionality is believed to
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews be stable and complete except for lacking support for
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews verifications involving wildcard records in secure zones.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews When acting as a caching server, BIND 9.2 can be configured
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews to perform DNSSEC secure resolution on behalf of its clients.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews This part of the DNSSEC implementation is still considered
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews experimental. For detailed information about the state of the
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews DNSSEC implementation, see the file doc/misc/dnssec.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews There are a few known bugs:
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews On some systems, IPv6 and IPv4 sockets interact in
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews unexpected ways. For details, see doc/misc/ipv6.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews To reduce the impact of these problems, the server
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews no longer listens for requests on IPv6 addresses
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews by default. If you need to accept DNS queries over
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews IPv6, you must specify "listen-on-v6 { any; };"
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews in the named.conf options statement.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews FreeBSD prior to 4.2 (and 4.2 if running as non-root)
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews and OpenBSD prior to 2.8 log messages like
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews "fcntl(8, F_SETFL, 4): Inappropriate ioctl for device".
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews This is due to a bug in "/dev/random" and impacts the
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews server's DNSSEC support.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews OS X 10.1.4 (Darwin 5.4), OS X 10.1.5 (Darwin 5.5) and
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews OS X 10.2 (Darwin 6.0) reports errors like
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews "fcntl(3, F_SETFL, 4): Operation not supported by device".
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews This is due to a bug in "/dev/random" and impacts the
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews server's DNSSEC support.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews --with-libtool does not work on AIX.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews A bug in the Windows 2000 DNS server can cause zone transfers
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews from a BIND 9 server to a W2K server to fail. For details,
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews see the "Zone Transfers" section in doc/misc/migration.

309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews Do not use a parallel "make".
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews Several environment variables that can be set before running
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews configure will affect compilation:
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews The C compiler to use. configure tries to figure
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews out the right one for supported systems.
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews C compiler flags. Defaults to include -g and/or -O2
309a3b5808b3e7666d219665c28768e5c0997f14Mark Andrews as supported by the compiler.

c45ca0b839adc61c7902aad0969de36921b292b0Mark Andrews To build shared libraries, specify "--with-libtool" on the
c45ca0b839adc61c7902aad0969de36921b292b0Mark Andrews configure command line.
c45ca0b839adc61c7902aad0969de36921b292b0Mark Andrews For the server to support DNSSEC, you need to build it
c45ca0b839adc61c7902aad0969de36921b292b0Mark Andrews with crypto support. You must have OpenSSL 0.9.5a
3b71206de9478a75ba735391498959bc54d542a2Mark Andrews or newer installed and specify "--with-openssl" on the
3b71206de9478a75ba735391498959bc54d542a2Mark Andrews configure command line. If OpenSSL is installed under
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews a nonstandard prefix, you can tell configure where to
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews look for it using "--with-openssl=/prefix".
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews To build libbind (the BIND 8 resolver library), specify
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews "--enable-libbind" on the configure command line.
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews On some platforms, BIND 9 can be built with multithreading
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews support, allowing it to take advantage of multiple CPUs.
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews You can specify whether to build a multithreaded BIND 9
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews by specifying "--enable-threads" or "--disable-threads"
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews on the configure command line. The default is operating
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews system dependent.
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews If your operating system has integrated support for IPv6, it
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews will be used automatically. If you have installed KAME IPv6
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews separately, use "--with-kame[=PATH]" to specify its location.
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews "make install" will install "named" and the various BIND 9 libraries.
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews By default, installation is into /usr/local, but this can be changed
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews with the "--prefix" option when running "configure".
c3e0aed7da9ca312a3b25a4eee13573dca04c318Mark Andrews You may specify the option "--sysconfdir" to set the directory
c3e0aed7da9ca312a3b25a4eee13573dca04c318Mark Andrews where configuration files like "named.conf" go by default,
c3e0aed7da9ca312a3b25a4eee13573dca04c318Mark Andrews and "--localstatedir" to set the default parent directory
c3e0aed7da9ca312a3b25a4eee13573dca04c318Mark Andrews of "run/named.pid". For backwards compatibility with BIND 8,
c3e0aed7da9ca312a3b25a4eee13573dca04c318Mark Andrews --sysconfdir defaults to "/etc" and --localstatedir defaults to
1676408640d8283c9f17eec0b183e1302ea7fd70Mark Andrews "/var" if no --prefix option is given. If there is a --prefix
c45ca0b839adc61c7902aad0969de36921b292b0Mark Andrews option, sysconfdir defaults to "$prefix/etc" and localstatedir
c45ca0b839adc61c7902aad0969de36921b292b0Mark Andrews defaults to "$prefix/var".

1c9afb96b58f450f8861007e5135dee1447e680fAndreas Gustafsson Note that the help message does not reflect the BIND 8
4d5f44e7933f4cb691e8f4cf3b4b5f61c27e2b1cAndreas Gustafsson compatibility defaults for sysconfdir and localstatedir.
8c4f1fa179f8f2fc56a9fa9294682a080e8756eeAndreas Gustafsson If you're planning on making changes to the BIND 9 source, you
8c4f1fa179f8f2fc56a9fa9294682a080e8756eeAndreas Gustafsson should also "make depend". If you're using Emacs, you might find
8c4f1fa179f8f2fc56a9fa9294682a080e8756eeAndreas Gustafsson "make tags" helpful.
8c4f1fa179f8f2fc56a9fa9294682a080e8756eeAndreas Gustafsson If you need to re-run configure please run "make distclean" first.
4d5f44e7933f4cb691e8f4cf3b4b5f61c27e2b1cAndreas Gustafsson This will ensure that all the option changes take.
4d5f44e7933f4cb691e8f4cf3b4b5f61c27e2b1cAndreas Gustafsson Building with gcc is not supported, unless gcc is the vendor's usual
4d5f44e7933f4cb691e8f4cf3b4b5f61c27e2b1cAndreas Gustafsson compiler (e.g. the various BSD systems, Linux).

8c4f1fa179f8f2fc56a9fa9294682a080e8756eeAndreas Gustafsson A limited test suite can be run with "make test". Many of
8c4f1fa179f8f2fc56a9fa9294682a080e8756eeAndreas Gustafsson the tests require you to configure a set of virtual IP addresses
672a41b5fef7722803645c1f0ca132972f0f940aAndreas Gustafsson on your system, and some require Perl; see bin/tests/system/README
