			BIND 8.3.1 Release

BIND 8.3.1 is the second release of 8.3 and contains no new features.

The recommended version to use is BIND 9.2.0.  If for whatever reason you
must run BIND 8, use nothing earlier than 8.2.5-REL, 8.3.1-REL.  Do not
under any circumstances run BIND 4.

Highlights vs. BIND 8.3.0:

	Critical bug fix to prevent DNS storms. If you have BIND 8.3.0 you
	need to upgrade.
