+This is the source portion of BIND version 8.2.2, Patchlevel 5. Its
+companions are "doc" and "contrib" so you are probably not missing anything.
+
+See the CHANGES file for a detailed listing of all changes. See the INSTALL
+file for information on building and installing BIND.
+
+See the SUPPORT file for information on obtaining commercial support for ISC
+artifacts including BIND, INN, and DHCP.
+
+SECURITY NOTE:
+
+ Solaris and other pre-4.4BSD kernels do not respect ownership or
+ protections on UNIX-domain sockets. This means that the default
+ path for the NDC control socket (/var/run/ndc) is such that any
+ user (root or other) on such systems can issue any NDC command
+ except "start" and "restart". The short term fix for this is to
+ override the default path and put such control sockets into root-
+ owned directories which do not permit non-root to r/w/x through them.
+ The medium term fix is for BIND to enforce this requirement internally.
+ The long term fix is for all kernels to upgrade to 4.4BSD semantics.
+
+BIND 8.2.2 patchlevel 5 Highlights
+
+ Bug in named-xfer (from patchlevel 4).
+ Portability to IPv6 versions of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD.
+ Portability improvements (A/UX, AIX, IRIX, NetBSD, SCO, MPE/IX, NT).
+ "also-notify" option could cause memory allocation errors.
+ IXFR improvements (though client-side is still disabled).
+ Contributed software upgraded (including TIS's "dns_signer").
+ Several latent denial-of-service bugs fixed (from audits, not abuse).
+ New "make noesw" top-level target for removing encumbered components.
+
+BIND 8.2.2 Highlights
+
+ Interoperability with MS-Win2K has been improved.
+ Server-side IXFR is now known to work even under high load.
+ Support for Windows/NT (thanks to BayNetworks).
+ More fixes, especially to DNSSEC, TSIG, IXFR, and selective forwarding.
+ More portability improvements and lint removal (A/UX 3.1.1, SCO 5.0).
+ Better NOTIFY behaviour, especially with large update volume.
+ Better UPDATE handling, including SRV RR support and RFC compliance.
+ Fix for "ndc reload ZONENAME" (specific zone reload) problems.
+ Fix for round robin when multiple CNAMEs are in use.
+ New "min-roots" (MINROOTS) and "serial-queries" (MAXQSERIAL) options.
+ Log files are no longer auto-rotated every time the server starts up.
+ New "ndc reconfig" command only finds new/deleted zones, no stat()ing.
+ New global options for "transfer-source" and "also-notify".
+ $GENERATE now supports more record types, and options.
+
+
+BIND 8.2.1 Highlights
+
+ Bug fixes, especially to DNSSEC, TSIG, IXFR, and selective forwarding.
+ Portability improvements and lint removal.
+ Use best SOA rather than first-better when selecting an AXFR master.
+ $TTL now accepts symbolic time values (such as "$TTL 1h30m").
+ "ndc reload" now accepts a zone argument, for single-zone reloads.
+ ndc is better behaved; is verbose or quiet when appropriate.
+ event and error reporting improvements.
+
+BIND 8.2 Highlights
+
+ RFC 2308 (Negative Caching)
+ RFC 2181 (DNS Clarifications)
+ RFC 2065 (DNS Security)
+ TSIG (Transaction SIGnatures)
+ support for multiple virtual name servers
+ NDC uses a "control channel" now (no more signals)
+ "Split DNS" via zone type "forward".
+
+ Many bug fixes
+ Documentation improvements
+ Performance enhancements
+
+
+BIND 8.1.2 Highlights
+
+ Security fixes for a number of problems including:
+
+ An attacker could overwrite the stack if inverse query support
+ was enabled.
+
+ A number of denial of service attacks where malformed packets
+ could cause the server to crash.
+
+ The server was willing to answer queries on its forwarding
+ sockets.
+
+ Several memory leaks have been plugged.
+
+ The server no longer panics if a periodic interface scan fails due
+ to no file descriptors being available.
+
+ Updates to a number of ports. New ports for QNX, LynxOS, HP-UX 9.x,
+ and HP MPE.
+
+ "files unlimited" now works as expected on systems where setting
+ an infinite rlim_max for RLIMIT_NOFILE works.
+
+ Adding and deleting the same record in the same dynamic update no
+ longer crashes the server.
+
+ If a dynamic update fails, rollback is now done in LIFO order instead
+ of FIFO order.
+
+ Better behavior when priming of the root servers fails.
+
+ purge_zone() didn't work correctly for the root zone, allowing
+ old data to persist after loading the zone.
+
+ Improved handling of oversized UDP packets.
+
+ All hosts on the also-notify list are now notified.
+
+ The meaning of the count returned by select() varies somewhat by
+ operating system, and this could cause previous releases of the
+ server to spin.
+
+ Per-host statistics may be disabled by specifying 'host-statistics no'
+ in named.conf.
+
+ The maximum number of zones has been increased from 32768 to 65536.
+
+ query-source may specify an address and port that the server is
+ already listening on. BIND 8.1.1 required that either the address
+ or port be wild. E.g., you can now say:
+
+ listen-on port 53 { 10.0.0.1; };
+ query-source address 10.0.0.1 port 53;
+
+ The value of FD_SETSIZE to use may be specified.
+
+ Experimental -u (set user id), -g (set group id), and -t (chroot)
+ command line options. See the INSTALL file for details.
+

+
+To Support the Effort
+
+ Note that BIND is supported by the Internet Software Consortium, and
+ although it is free for use and redistribution and incorporation into
+ vendor products and export and anything else you can think of, it
+ costs money to produce. That money comes from ISPs, hardware and
+ software vendors, companies who make extensive use of the software,
+ and generally kind hearted folk such as yourself.
+
+ The Internet Software Consortium has also commissioned a DHCP server
+ implementation, has taken over official support/release of the INN
+ system, and supports the Kerberos Version 5 effort at MIT. You can
+ learn more about the ISC's goals and accomplishments from the web page
+ at <URL:http://www.isc.org/>.
