ISC has no specific plans to end BIND 9 development. As Mark correctly says: > BIND 10 is still a way off being a replacement for BIND 9. We are missing a lot of features in BIND 10 that are present in BIND 9. However, it is not as correct to say: > Development for both is still proceeding in parallel.

If BIND 10 has the functionality that you need - authoritative-only without BIND-managed DNSSEC signing - then BIND 10 *is* production ready today. The main issue is that it is a 1.0.0 version, so does not have the history of installed bases to increase confidence. > As of BIND 9.9.3, BIND 9.9 will be > a extended support version.

Please let us know if the ESV policy works for you! Finally, we are currently discussing the BIND 9 and BIND 10 roadmaps and should have something we can publish shortly. Sorry to be so mysterious about it - it's nothing weird. :) Thanks, -- Shane _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
