30370d905e9be3be7d9b947fd432bacecbb13bb9Evan Hunt<P>BIND 8 is much more configurable than previous release of BIND.
0eb371ca0dab50ae3462e98794a6126198c52f4bMark AndrewsThere are entirely new areas of configuration, such as access control lists
9ecb5d33470ebfb3719a1b8d56bcefdf4b27f7b2Tinderbox Userand categorized logging. Many options that previously applied to all zones
efb0e886f18894a1d2489f1ad74ad14b579e11c7Mark Andrewscan now be used selectively. These features, plus a consideration of future
e813f036c8251b6d9d2a72fa84f80c2c9d2795afMark Andrewsconfiguration needs led to the creation of a new configuration file format.
