	Ok, you really missed the beggining of the discussion. I've
just realised that the bind-users and bind9-users mailing list have
just merged, and probably you did not read my initial e-mail on
bind9-users :
	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bind9-users&m=108682945122532&w=2
	Sorry about the confusion, I did not realise that.

	The story goes like this :
	o glibc uses libresolv from bind8 package (with modification)
	o glibc has an option to use lwres from bind9 package
	o I would hate forking glibc resolver
	o My initial patch is for lwres (not bind itself)
	o I stated my intend to patch libresolv if people like my proposal
	o I don't plan to propose any change to bind or the DNS protocol

	I would also point out that I'm running both bind and dhcpd on
my mobile laptop, but that's another story entirely ;-)

	Have fun...

	Jean
