BIND8 entering end of life; changes to ftp.isc.org (affects mirrors)

misc Security

janog ML から BIND8 entering end of life; changes to ftp.isc.org (affects mirrors) へ。

whereas BIND9 is now 8 years old,
and BIND9 is performance-competitive against BIND8,
and BIND9 conforms to more of the DNS protocol than BIND8,
and BIND9 is more secure and more portable than BIND8,
we are declaring BIND8 to be in "end of life" (like BIND4).

if you are running BIND8 (or BIND4), you should upgrade to BIND9.
if you are mirroring BIND8 (ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind), please stop.
(if you aren't mirroring BIND9 (ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9), you could.)

the current version of BIND9 as of this moment is 9.4.1-P1.
it can be retrieved from ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.4.1-p1/.
its release notes are at http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/view?release=9.4.1-p1.

BIND4 から BIND8 への移行は大変でしたが、BIND8 から BIND9 ならそれほど大きなステップは無いはず。頑張りましょう > 某所。


ちなみに、Paul Vixie さんって、Vixie cron の作者でしたっけ？
