in the tooth BIND 8. As of today (27 August 2007) ISC has announced
that BIND 8 is officially End of Life (EOL) and therefore it's time
to say good-bye.
Please see http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/bind8-eol.php for details on the
reasoning behind the EOL status, the latest security issues, and a
migration guide to help you move toward BIND 9.4.x.
bind8 (BIND 8.3.7) is marked FORBIDDEN due to the predictable query ID
bug (see above) which will not be fixed for this version.
bind84 is marked DEPRECATED, and will be upgraded to 8.4.7-P1 when it
is available.
daemon.
multi_dnsbl is a DNS emulator daemon that increases the efficacy of DNSBL
look-ups in a mail system. multi_dnsbl may be used as a stand-alone DNSBL or as
a plug-in for a standard BIND 9 installation. multi_dnsbl shares a common
configuration file format with the Mail::SpamCannibal sc_BLcheck.pl script so
that DNSBL's can be maintained in a common configuration file for an entire
mail installation.
Because DNSBL usefulness is dependent on the nature and source of spam sent to
a specific site and because sometimes DNSBL's may provide intermittant service,
multi_dnsbl interrogates them sorted in the order of greatest successful hits.
DNSBL's that do not respond within the configured timeout period are not
interrogated at all after 6 consecutive failures, and thereafter will be
retried not more often than once every hour until they come back online. This
eliminates the need to place DNSBL's in a particular order in your MTA's config
file or periodically monitor the DNSBL statistics and/or update the MTA config
file.

1. The default access control lists (acls) are not being
correctly set. If not set anyone can make recursive queries
and/or query the cache contents.

2. The DNS query id generation is vulnerable to cryptographic
analysis which provides a 1 in 8 chance of guessing the next
query id for 50% of the query ids. This can be used to perform
cache poisoning by an attacker.
This bug only affects outgoing queries, generated by BIND 9 to
answer questions as a resolver, or when it is looking up data
for internal uses, such as when sending NOTIFYs to slave name
servers.
All users are encouraged to upgrade.

supports them. This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
subdirectory detection.

Supports adding, removing, and modifying enteries.
The attributes it can handle are TTL, A record, C name, AAAA
record, and MX record. Outside of TTL, multiple attributes
for each type record.

cap is a network capture utility designed specifically for DNS
traffic. It produces binary data in pcap(3) format, either on
standard output (by default) or in successive dump files (if the d
command line option is given.) This utility is similar to tcpdump(1),
but has finer grained packet recognition tailored to DNS transactions
and protocol options. dnscap is expected to be used for gathering
continuous research or audit traces.
SYNOPSIS
dnscap [-avf6] [-i if ...] [-l vlan ...] [-p port] [-m [quire]] [-h [ir]]
[-q host ...] [-r host ...] [-d base [-k cmd]] [-t lim] [-c lim]

If you are running BIND 9.4.0 (either pre-release or final),
you are advised to upgrade as soon as possible to BIND 9.4.1.
- Add patch from SVN to support DNSSEC records
