I already installed the ports' version of BIND 9.6 a few months ago on two stable/7 machines that are primary and secondary nameservers for a bunch of domains. It was a simple drop-in replacement, no problems whatsoever. > Your feedback on the issue of upgrading BIND in RELENG_7 is welcome. > Sooner is better. :) I vote for the upgrade. It's easy and seamless for users, as far as I can tell, and it avoids problems in the long run. I agree with you that the situation that we had with FreeBSD 6 should be avoided.
