The present package for bind under ubuntu Linux is bind9.5. This is great and I am not complaining at all but all the rest of our bind servers are FreeBSD and using 9.3.5, soon to be 9.3.6. I read that it is best for them all to be the same version of bind. I have been asked to set up a slave DNS on a ubuntu system which happens to be in the correct subnet so this is a good idea, but I want it to be as functionally close as possible to the rest of our DNS's. Eventually, they will all be upgraded to bind9.5, but for now, this one needs to be like the rest rather than introducing new unknowns in to the system.
Should I be able to find a Debian package of bind9.3.6? Basically, is there a recommended way to accomplish this without too much extra work? The configuration for bind9.3.5 has several parameters in it that bind9.5 essentially did not understand: /etc/bind/named.conf.local:8: unknown option 'allow-query' /etc/bind/named.conf.local:29: unknown option 'auth-nxdomain' /etc/bind/named.conf.local:30: unknown option 'cleaning-interval' /etc/bind/named.conf.local:31: unknown option 'max-journal-size' /etc/bind/named.conf.local:32: unknown option 'sortlist' /etc/bind/named.conf.local:38: unknown option 'allow-transfer' /etc/bind/named.conf.local:42: unknown option 'check-names' /etc/bind/named.conf.local:43: unknown option 'check-names' Martin McCormick WB5AGZ Stillwater, OK Systems Engineer OSU Information Technology Department Telecommunications Services Group _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
