ETA for BIND 9?

[David R. Conrad]

Hi,

Yes.  However due to the complexity of DNSSEC and our interest in getting more
public testing, we're delaying the final release from May 1 until June 30 (of
this year).  We'll be releasing another beta in early May instead of the
final.

> What about 8.2.3?  

We're intending to release T3B sometime this week, with final due at the end
of the month (assuming no new issues show up in T3B).

> Or will that become 9?

No.  BINDv9 is a 100% rewrite of BIND, there is essentially no shared code
between 8 and 9 (which is one of the reasons we want more public testing).
