I hope everyone realises that the development of BIND 8 is dead. No new
features, No new RR records (No A6/DNAME for instance), No full DNSSEC
implementation. The only thing that's done for BIND 8 is an occasional bug
fix. 

To keep up and running with new DNS features, as in DNSSEC/IPv6 an all
that jazz, I suggest people to move to BIND-9.
