There is no workaround;
if you put "." in the named.conf, "" is passed to named-xfer.exe,
if you put "" in the named.conf, "" is passed to named-xfer.exe,
if you put anything else in the named.conf then antyshing else is passed to
named-xfer.exe :p
But even if I wanted to run a pre release versin, I can't find it anywhere
;)

I was thinking Barry was right till you said the OSRC root *8-)
Anyway reread Mark's post not only does it have the patch
information, it also has the work around. <rhetorical>How on
earth did this thread get so long?</rhetorical>
According to my mail archive a Mr Paul Vixie said 8.2.5rc1 was
released 2001-08-10. That is a release candidate. 8.3 is also
not formally a release version, but still being tested. See
www.isc.org
So unless your happy using "", or a pre-release version, I don't
think you'll like BIND, and BIND 9 on NT is fun till 9.2.0rc1 I
gather..... Or has anyone got 9.1.3 on NT as a slave root?
ISC (?) usually run release candidates of 8 on root name servers
before a formal release, so presumably they have some confidence
in them, although I guess the ICANN roots have a lot of
redundancy, should it break YMMV.
