BIND

[IRI Unix Support Group]

Does anyone know whats the current version of bind that can be run on a 11i server? I have bind 4x running on 10.20 server. I want to upgrade the OS to 11i and to current version of bind (for 11i). Does anyone know the exact procedure to do this?

Thanks

The latest HP depot's:

Bind 9.2:
http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=BIND9.2

Bind 8.1.2
http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=BIND812

Both are free, and both run on 11i.

HTH.

Your best bet is to install BIND 9.2 on the 11i server. It has the best security.

Then you will probably need to manually migrate your DNS database from 4.x to 9.x structure. If you copy the database over the 9.2 isntall might convert the data. Not sure about that.

The current version is 9.2.3

As stated, go with 9.2, as the security is better. Here's some tools that you may find helpful:
