I totally agree with you Mark and I opened a discussion at the Apple
Support Communities.
One have the title:
OS X Mavericks Software Compatibility
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23527657#23527657
The other have the title:
Where is Bind on OS X Mavericks?
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23527415#23527415
However I doubt anyone from the top reads that. I probably have to file
this as a bug report as well to let the apple engineers know about that.
By the way, Thanks so much Carsten for compile BIND for the OS X Mavericks!

Hello Eduardo,
thanks for confirming that MacOS X removed BIND.
It has been moved to the Server Edition according to krypted.com[1].
However it would be nice for Apple to LET PEOPLE KNOW in advance.
No where in the AppStore does it warn about functionality being
removed. Lots of new stuff being promoted but no warnings about
things going away.
If you go to the Apple Web site and technical specs page[2] of
Mavericks and look the the "OS X Server Product Overview"[3] you
find it is out of date as it is still pointing to Mountain Lion.
If you have already "purchased" Mavericks please add a negative
review which warns about the functionality being removed from the
basic edition. At least then people may be warned about this.
Apple should be encouraging people to run validating resolvers on
their machines, not making it harder for them to do this.
Mark

Our new BIND installers for MacOS X 10.9 are now available at
<http://support.menandmice.com/download/bind/macosx/10.9-Mavericks/>
I've build BIND 9.9.4 (with and without RRL) and BIND 9.8.6. If anyone
need 9.6-ESV let me know.
Please report any issues with this installers to me.
Best regards

I want to confirm what Carsten said here;
I just performed an upgrade from Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 one day before
Yesterday. The upgrade itself went fine except for BIND and Apache.
After upgrading to OS X Mavericks, 10.9, the upgrade removed all the
files mentioned bellow plus all the Websites on Apache configuration
as well. OS X Mavericks no longer have the web sharing. So it is
highly advisable to backup your BIND and Apache configuration files
before upgrade. Fortunately I had a copy of all these files in a
backup mirror server. So, for me was just a matter of connecting and
copying all these files back to OS X Mavericks and set the nrdc key
again.
Here is the files to backup;
Full path to the named.conf file /etc/named.conf
Full path to the named executable /usr/sbin/named
Full path to whois command whois
Full path to ndc command ndc
Full path to rndc command rndc
Full path to rndc-confgen command rndc-confgen
Full path to the rndc.conf file /etc/rndc.conf
Full path to named-checkzone command named-checkzone
Full path to named-checkconf command named-checkconf
Full path to dnssec-keygen command dnssec-keygen
Full path to dnssec-signzone command dnssec-signzone
In addition do not forget to back-up the PID file location in your
system whatever the PID file it is located;
Default PID file location ? Your location

Hi BIND users on MacOS,
it looks like the upgrade to MacOS X 10.9 "Mavericks" removes
BIND. Early reports also indicate that the upgrade process also removes
the BIND configuration file "/etc/named.conf" and all zonefiles in
"/var/named". It happend on my machine, and there are reports coming in
from other users, but I need to confirm this on a lab environment.
The Men & Mice BIND MacOS X installers at currently fail on MacOS X
10.9, because /var/named is not there. I'm working on updating the Men
&
Mice packages to work on MacOS X 10.9.
Best regards
