For the benefit of everyone else on the list, and for inclusion
in the archives -- Ignore my previous message on this subject, and
note this correction.
The normal installation method for BIND-9 is:
./configure
make
make install
Note that there is no "make depend" in this process. I checked,
and the READMEs from BIND-9.0.0 through 9.3.1 have said that this is
only used by people who are making modifications to the source code.
