Exactly this.
Well, one minor bit of clarification is important. While highlighting the significant change in software might have been the motivation for why some installers chose to go with the name bind9 in place of named in some contexts, it was also a major design goal of BIND9 that it could run as a drop-in replacement for BIND8 on most configurations. It achieved this goal. The basic syntax was unchanged and configuration behavior was largely the same but for a little bit around the edges. And for what it's worth, not all systems moved away from "named" to "bind9". I've been running FreeBSD for decades, and I can't remember ever calling the service "bind9". _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
