Dear Users, We have received reports that BIND 9.7.0 and 9.7.1 are failing to resolve certain zones. These zones are resolved correctly by earlier versions of BIND.
BIND 9.7.0 and 9.7.1 follows the DNS protocol more strictly than earlier versions. 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. 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.
