BIND version 9 is a major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the
underlying BIND architecture. This re-architecting of BIND was
necessitated by the expected demands of:
- Domain name system growth, particularly in very large
zones such as .COM
- Protocol enhancements necessary to securely query and
update zones
- Protocol enhancements necessary to take advantage of
certain architectural features of IP version 6
The 9.0.0 release, and this release candidate, is aimed at
early adopters and those who wish to make use of new 9.0
features, such as IPv6 and DNSSEC secure resolution support.
BIND, the Berkeley Internet Name Daemon, version 9 is a major
rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying BIND architecture. Some
of the important features of BIND-9 are:
- DNS Security
DNSSEC (signed zones)
TSIG (signed DNS requests)
- IP version 6
Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets
IPv6 resource records (A6, DNAME, etc.)
Bitstring Labels
Experimental IPv6 Resolver Library
- DNS Protocol Enhancements
IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0
Improved standards conformance
- Views
One server process can provide multiple "views" of the
DNS namespace to different clients.
- Multiprocessor Support
- Improved Portability Architecture
