Speaking about things to be annoyed over ..=20

I am still ticked that FreeBSD dropped BIND from the distribution for somet=
hing called unwinding or whatever it is.

Hmm I'm a bit late to this discussion but I will chime in with the others. =
 The service always was called "named"  pronounced "name Dee"
it was called that in the Nutshell book which is easily the authoritative b=
ook on the subject, it was called this before you were born and it was kind=
 of the height of hubris for it to ever be named
bind9 in a software distro.

In fact, the ONLY reason that the name "bind9" was ever even coined at all =
was because the changes from bind8 both in the syntax of the config file an=
d how the program operated they wanted to boot admins in the behind to get =
them to change their config files.  It should have been put to bed as a nam=
e a long time ago, or named "bind version 9" like every other software prog=
ram does with their versions.

So as an experienced person who has been doing this you-nuxs thing since
1982 - I DON'T see it different - and in fact, I see it as a RETURN to what=
 it originally was!

Ted
