Why the old version?
Authored by: Lizard_King on Dec 03, '02 04:35:23PM

So 10.2.x comes with BIND 8.2 - that's kewl! BUT (there's always a but, isn't there?), if you're serious about running your own DNS, why wouldn't you use the latest version of BIND. BIND happens to be one of the most vulnerable services that could run on your machine. There also happens to be numerous published exploits/vulerabilites with BIND 8.2.

Why not download and run the latest verion (BIND 9.2.1)?
