Cricket Liu, the principal author of DNS & BIND, presented an overview of
changes to BIND 4.9.5. This version of BIND has been just recently
released and will probably be included in vendor products within 6 to 18 months.
It incorporates numerous changes to improve functionality, administration,
and security. He reviewed the new directives and described several
performance changes in the new version.
Cricket Liu's slides
are available on the FRUUG Web site.
Copies of the new edition of his book were
given away (mostly to the back row) and a copy of his book is now in the
FRUUG library. Thanks go to O'Reilly Associates for supplying FRUUG with
these copies.
