Beta Release of BIND 9.2.0 for Window NT/2000
Release of BIND 9.2.0 for Window NT/2000
Date: 20-Jul-2001.
Date: 10-Aug-2001.
This is a Beta Release of BIND 9.2.0 for Windows NT/2000. As such
it should not be installed on a production system or anywhere that is
considered critical for Internet access. The release has not been
thoroughly tested. While IPv6 addresses should work, there is no
support yet for a BIND server using an IPv6 stack. Only IPv4 stacks are
supported on the box running this version of BIND. IPv6 stacks will
be supported in a future release.
This is the first release of BIND 9.2.0 for Windows NT/2000. As such

access. The release has not been thoroughly tested. While IPv6
addresses should work, there is no support yet for a BIND server using
an IPv6 stack. Only IPv4 stacks are supported on the box running this

allow you to run rndc without an explicit rndc.conf file or key and

details of this. An rndc.conf can also be generated by running:
