NEVER post to both the mailing list and the newsgroup. The two are
copied to each other. Now I will get three copies of this. (Pout,
pout. ;-})
The mailing list is archived at
<URL: http://www.isc.org/view.cgi?/products/BIND/mailing-lists.phtml>.
What is blocking DNS TCP? Is it a firewall? Is there a DNS proxy? At
some level, this must be negotiable.
BIND 8 tends to do "the right thing." Without TCP, everything you do
must be UDP, though, which limits certain things you can do. Have you
yet noticed any problems, though?
