That's OK, I wasn't soliciting advice on which platform or OS version a
given set of machines ought to run.
Right. As I understood it, you were arguing in favor of MFC'ing a fix
to RELENG_5 because you have machines from that branch in a production
setting. If I misunderstood your point, I apologize.
When the number of machines one
deals with in a given environment changes from single-digit, to dozens,
to hundreds, to tens of thousands, keeping machines updated to a
bug-free, stable environment is more important than chasing features off
the latest branch.
Yes, I understand those issues quite well. I used to manage hundreds
of name servers for a company that had many 10s of thousands of
machines. And I think that you are basically making my point, which is
that users in a serious production environment are probably not using
the BIND that comes with FreeBSD in an off the shelf configuration.
I'm starting to feel thankful that my important domains include
off-site secondaries which are running djbdns.

You seem to be disposed to believe it so, but regardless of opinions,
I've had named crash under moderate loads ...
This thread isn't about what's the best brand of name server to use,
it's about whether to MFC an update.
