Topic: BIND 9

[roger]

Does anyone have advice on upgrading to BIND 9? Following installation of the recent patch, my logs are now full of 'Bogus LOOPBACK A RR' messages.

Have successfully upgraded 4.1.2 to Bind 9.1.3 but needs work in templates to get all the benefits thereof, such as multipule views etc.
Will do a how-to if I can remember how I did it.

To get things started, I needed to give e-smith the ability to compile and build from source rpms which I got by installing these packages (just did a rpm -Uvh * from a CD-ROM I mounted and seemed to go fine from there)

There are my (brief) notes:
# Development install e-smith 4.1

cpp-2.96-54.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.1.92-14.i386.rpm kernel-headers-2.4.0-0.26.i386.rpm
make-3.79.1-5.i386.rpm
libstdc++-devel-2.96-54.i386.rpm
glib-devel-1.2.8-4.i386.rpm
gcc-2.96-54.i386.rpm
gcc-c++-2.96-54.i386.rpm
kgcc-1.1.2-40.i386.rpm



All these were suggested by Filippo Carletti (http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=11154.msg42004#msg42004)

We also needed to install

bison-1.28-5.i386.rpm

Then got the bind-9.1.3.tar.gz from isc.org

Unzipped into temp directory

gunzip bind*.tar.gz
tar -vxf bind*.tar

then it gets tricky, we made it in a dir we created

mkdir -p /usr/local/src

using

./configure
make
make install

but found that a)e-smith does not support the use of threads and
b)there was a little daemon running that kept the old bind contiunually respawning.

Will have to consult notes and guru friend and add more later.

I also recall we had to make changes to the  init files as well.

If nothing else, this is a way to build on e-smith so may prove useful to others anyhow thanks to Filippo's work.
