I am not sure if you are aware of it but writing a library implementing the DNSRPS API is not something entirely straightforward. See the "librpz_0_t" type in lib/dns/include/dns/librpz.h for a list of methods comprising the library interface. Also note that the only working implementation whose existence I am aware of is a proprietary one. Given the above, a strong enough motivation for using --enable-dnsrps in the packages we build and support is lacking. Note that Debian and its derivatives provide tools which make rebuilding a source package with different compile-time options fairly convenient. > Also, when running "named -V", I see both '--enable-static' and > '--disable-static' in the output.
