You could try the word "classless" instead. Or look up "2317" in the
MARC search engine (which you can find via the "list archives" link under
"Public Services" on the ISC home page); be aware, however, that MARC may give
you hits on other mailing lists unless you restrict it to the BIND list, and
you may not be able to restrict it that way without limiting yourself to just
searching one month's worth of archives at a time (at least, there was no way
intuitive to me to search *all* of the BIND list archives -- but only the
BIND list archives -- for a particular term).

I can't imagine that BIND 9.1.1 would be any different from BIND 8.2.3 in the
context of RFC 2317. It's just CNAMEs to PTR records and
(optionally) delegations, after all, which are fully suported by both versions
of BIND.
