- 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.

+rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying BIND architecture. Some
+of the important features of BIND-9 are:

+ Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets

+ - 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
