Ah, I see - excellent.

None - you are absolutely correct. I would then like to formally
request that the following current patches in BTS for djbdns-installer
be included (or at least seriously considered) in the djbdns package, if
the binary redistribution stars align:
#107578: djbdns-installer: IPv6 record types not supported (Merged with
#107579)
#243323: extra file in package (djbdns-conf-fhs)
#274000: djbdns-installer: typo in description of tinydns
#432900: Please add one-second.patch for performance
#432903: Please add native SRV type to tinydns-data / axfr-get
#432471: Truncation of alias chains by tinydns and axfrdns
#447950: Advisory - L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET changing to 199.7.83.42 on
2007-11-01 (includes #432459: B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET IP address changed)
A couple of these are minor/cosmetic (typo and djbdns-conf-fhs), the
root servers are necessary, but IPv6, one-second, SRV, and the alias
chain patch are highly important in our environment.
My real desire is to have all the proper bits in place in the Debian
package (binary or -installer) for our production authoritative server
infrastructure, without the need to roll our own custom .deb's anymore.
If Lenny releases to stable with all the right stuff, then I will be a
happy user.
Thanks for the vid link, Robert - I just saw your post to
debian-devel@l.d.o. and your link was not posted in BTS as of my reading.
Do let me know if you need any help as you go along - we run a very
large tinydns system at work.
