Right? Right. OK.
Greg, I appreciate your advice, and I would love to stay with the debian packages. However, I also want to be able to use a debian installation a long time and I see lots of changes on dns resource records. Also, I don't like to rush into debian version updates, so I fear the package bind9 might slip behind current standards. I don't mind source updates--I already do that with openssl, apache, postfix, and mailman. Your bind9 service file is greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Tom
