<div align="left"><tt>BIND 10 alpha is available now, with the
Beta being released toward the end of 2012. The DHCP
implementation and recursive resolver are both planned to
enter user test later in 2013. It is critical to the success
of BIND 10 that we gather feedback from DNS experts, BIND
vendor partners, and others who have a strong interest in
BIND 10 as early as possible. General purpose and end users
are also most welcome to test BIND 10 during the alpha
phase, but the real end user push will be for the beta
program timeframe. We really do need your feedback… and
those who register for the alpha and provide feedback will
get not just our undying gratitude, but thanks in the form
of the opportunity to win spiffy ISC swag.</tt><tt>BIND 10
