Several weeks ago, Mark Andrews gave me an excellent suggestion about a
particular BIND feature, but it is a somewhat recent feature that
started to exist on a version of BIND that isn't yet distributed in the
default/main BIND distributions for many of the most common linux-based
operating systems. I think the particular feature that was mentioned -
came into existence around BIND 9.13? Unfortunately, many of the major
linux operating systems haven't reached 9.13 yet. So, for example, I'm
currently trying to upgrade a Debian server to a more recent version of
BIND - 9.16 - and I saw the following pages:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/bind9
https://www.isc.org/blogs/bind-9-packages/
But I can't seem to find any simple way to do this - or maybe I missed
something on that page? - from what I've seen, for Debian, it requires
that the BIND source code (and various dependencies) be downloaded, and
then BIND has to be compiled. Or so it seems. I tried that, but kept
running into errors - something about "Libressl not found" - even
though I really did already have the SSL package installed that it said
it needed. It was a downward-spiral mess I couldn't seem to resolve.
So here is the question - is there an */easier/simpler/* way to get the
most common linux operating systems (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOs, etc) - to a
later version of BIND - beyond what auto-installs when you issue a
command like "apt-get install bind9" - but /without/ having to download
and compile the source code?
