BIND 8.3.1 and HPUX 11.0

[Joe White]

Anyone know of a website that has a compiled version of BIND 8.3.1 for HPUX 11.0? As far as I can tell the BIND consortium site just has the source (src, contrib and doc) Thanks for the help...

Joe,

Current plans are that HP isn't going to be releasing BIND 8.3 for HPUX 11.0, but is planning to have a port of 9.2 available for 11.0. There might be a delay in this 9.2 web release from http://software.hp.com, depending on the impact of CERT CA-2002-15.
Note: HP already has a release of 9.2 out on http://software.hp.com for HP-UX 11.11.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply Brian. It does help, however I've heard there are performance issues with BIND 9 vs BIND 8 in addition to the fact that after BIND 9 'nslookup' is toast. The command 'dig' becomes the query command. Do you know if HP bundles 'dig' with BIND 9.2?
