Hello All The latest bind fiasco seems a bit of a mess:
I only hope that these packages will plug the holes: > These problems have been fixed in version 8.3.3-2.0woody1 for the current > stable distribution (woody), in 8.2.3-0.potato.3 for the previous stable > distribution (potato) and in version 8.3.3-3 for the unstable distribution > (sid). The fixed packages for unstable will enter the archive today. But I predict that there will be several more DSA's and upgrades before the problem dies down. With regards to this suggestion: > We recommend that you upgrade your bind package immediately, update to > bind9, or switch to another DNS server implementation. We dropped sendmail many years ago and I think it may be time to drop bind. What experiences do others have with alternate DNS servers? Unfortunately DJB's software is not an option for us. We tried working with his licence with qmail for a couple of years but we ended up chasing our tales with custom installations, patches and a general lack of progress and maintainablility. So we dropped qmail for exim. It will have to be something with a DFSG compliant licence that replaces our bind. (This is a pity, because DJB has written some excellent software.)
