Hi Jinmei I have followed your advice and I have installed and
compiled the Bind 9.3.6 with the following command:
STD_CDEFINES="-ISC_SOCKET_FDSETSIZE=4096" ./configure --prefix=/usr/
local/bind9.3.6 --enable-threads
But now I have the following issue, I can't start bind with multi
threading...
I have in the init script the lines:
OPTIONS="-u bind -n 8 -t /var/lib/named -c /etc/bind/named.conf"
and in the start part:
mount --bind /proc/ /var/lib/named/proc/ -o ro (This is needed because
bin runs in jail)

Any idea? (With the previous version this works ok)
Thanks for all
