BIND/iX for HP 3000 MPE http://www.cccd.edu/~markb/bindix.html DNS server and clients for MPE Last updated June 27, 1997 @ 2230 UTC --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's New * June 27, 1997 o Updated to the 8.1.1-REL production release which includes various fixes and enhancements. A particularly evil security bug has been fixed which will prevent malicious sites from corrupting your cache with bogus entries. o An MPE-only workaround has been implemented in res_send() so that connect()-ing to a datagram socket (which is not supported by MPE) is no longer attempted. o Dynamic Update has been tested and works if an external machine is trying to update BIND/iX; see Known Bugs. o MPE's recvfrom() still returns 127.0.0.1 for packets received from the local host; see the Known Bugs section below for a long explanation of the ramifications. Despite this issue, BIND/iX should be usable in a production environment as long as you follow good DNS practices by always mirroring your data to one or more secondary name servers. * June 12, 1997 o Updated to the 8.1.1-T2B public beta release which includes various fixes and enhancements. No new MPE-only changes. o The MPE diffs have been submitted to the BIND developers, but there wasn't time to include them in the official T2B source distribution. * June 6, 1997 o Updated to 8.1.1-T1A (a set of patches only made available to official bind-workers and applied on top of the 8.1 general public release). For details see src-mpe/CHANGES. Includes a fixed bin/dnsquery, new configuration options, bin/ndc relocated to sbin/ndc, and various bug fixes. o Compiles with no integer pointer cast warnings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
