>Description:

	Sorry if this is a repeat, but I sent in a similar request last
	week and never got confirmation back.

	The 3.0-current BIND should be upgraded to version 8.1.1
	(currently 4.9.6).  I need this to do dynamic DNS, and unlike
	other parts of the system, merging in a new resolver to libc
	is not something I'm interested in playing around with :-)

 	I think that you have some basic misunderstandings of how BIND
 8.1.1 works.  Using tremendous oversimplification, the libraries that are
 included with it aren't used by anything by default, since according to
 the ISC they aren't quite ready for prime time.  What you want is a system
 with the lib and include files from 4.9.6 (which we have) and the binaries
 from 8.1.1, which will allow  you to do your dynamic updates and such.  
 
 	What I generally do if I'm upgrading from source is to build the
 world, then reinstall BIND 8.1.1.  If you're feeling adventurous, you can
 try something I've been experimenting with, and go into
 /usr/src/usr.sbin/Makefile and tell it not to descend into the subdir's of
 things you don't want it to rebuild.  I haven't done anything exhaustive
 with it yet, but off hand I'd say delete named named.reload named.restart
 ndc nslookup.  With something like named though, it's probably better to
 just write it over the top anyway, just to be safe.  There are some other
 binaries from the BIND package that are built other places, but I haven't
 had breakfast yet, so I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader. :)
 
 	I realize that this probably isn't the answer you were looking
 for, but the short version is that what you want isn't possible with BIND
 8.1.1.
 
 Happy hacking,
 
 Doug

 I didn't realise that the 8.1.1 resolver was severely broken.  If that's
 the case, then that makes things much easier as there's nothing to merge
 in to libc.

 You can do dynamic updates by installing the BIND 8.1.1 named -- you
 don't need to muck with the resolver library for that.
