2.4 kernel and bind 8.2.3 - REL.

[paul j]

Total of 5,000 primary domains, and one server backing all 5,000 domains up..

Total of 3 name servers, that I was hopping to speed-up with the new kernel...
I am still reading on bind 9.x.x.... whay will they not leave the format 
ALONE!!!?....
Pain in my ass to have to rebuild all my domains, every time we upgrade our 
bind version.... so much work I don't like doing it very much..

If they are going to add features, why must they make such RADICAL 
changes...Ooh, that's right no one can agree on a standard in *nix, and if 
someone try's they get shoot down with "You are taking away our freedom to 
code how we want"....

Can't we all just get ALONG??
