Red Hat Errata System 5.3 2008-01-23T07:17:51 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS (Domain Name System) protocols. The bind package provides a DNS server (named), which resolves host names to IP addresses, and tools for control and verification of the DNS server. The bind-libs package provides the libraries used by the DNS server and bind-utils. The bind-utils package provides DNS lookup utilities: host(1), dig(1), and nslookup. The bind-devel package provides header files for development with the BIND libraries. A default set of DNS server configuration files is provided by the caching-nameserver package. This update delivers backports from ISC BIND 9.2.6 to fix these issues: --Fixes to named's thread locking logic This feature in ISC BIND 9.3.0+ was backported and delivered in this update: --edns-udp-size: Users can now set the maximum size of UDP packets used for EDNS0 (RFC 2671), to get past routers / firewalls that enforce a maximum UDP packet size. Miscellaneous bug fixes, including improved support for custom named.conf locations, are also delivered in this update. All BIND users are advised to upgrade to these updated bind packages.
