			BIND 8.3.2 Release

BIND 8.3.2 is the third release of 8.3.

The recommended version to use is BIND 9.2.1.  If for whatever reason you
must run BIND 8, use nothing earlier than 8.2.5-REL, 8.3.2-REL.  Do not
under any circumstances run BIND 4.

Highlights vs. BIND 8.3.1:
	dig, nslookup, host and nsupdate have improved IPv6 support.

Highlights vs. BIND 8.3.0:

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

			to reflect IPv6 capabilities (nslookup and nsupdate
			were already IPv4/IPv6 agnostic).

1292.	[func]		host: the default lookups now also include AAAA
			records.

1291.	[func]		'dig -x <ip6>' now works.

1290.	[bug]		'dig @server' fail to report the IPv6 address of the
			server in error messages.

1288.	[bug]		named: -t and -w could not be used together.

1287.	[func]		report serial(s) in out going transfer operation.

	--- 8.3.2-RC1 released --- (Thu May 30 23:06:11 PDT 2002)

1286.	[func]		libbind: no longer attempts bit string labels for
			IPv6 reverse resolution.  Try IP6.ARPA then IP6.INT
			for nibble style resolution.

1285.	[port]		linux: ss_family vs __ss_family in sockaddr_storage.

1284.	[port]		freebsd: 5.0 uses gid_t rather that int for 
			GETGROUPLIST_ARGS

1283.	[port]		bsdi: 4.2 also has struct sockaddr_storage.

1282.	[bug]		nslookup was using inet_ntoa() to print out a IPv6
			address.

1281.	[bug]		escape '(' and ')' when coverting to presentation
			form.

1280.	[func]		server { edns yes_or_no; } is now supported.
