XFRNETS option help

[Atlantis International Billing]

Actually, I am running www.software.com port of BIND for NT.  Their latest
release is 4.9.5.  I would like to upgrade but don't know any other port of
BIND for NT that is more current.  I do not like nor want to run Microsoft's
version.

Cheers,
