titleBIND Version Compatibility

BIND 9 Support is officially supported. Please note that as of May 24, 2018, ISC implemented a different release numbering scheme. From the ISC BIND 9.13 release notes (https://kb.isc.org/article/AA-01612):

Previously new feature development releases were tagged as "alpha" and "beta", leading up to the first stable release for a given development branch, which always ended in ".0".

Now, however, BIND has adopted the "odd-unstable/even-stable" release numbering convention. There will be no "alpha" or "beta" releases in the 9.13 branch, only increasing version numbers. So, for example, what would previously have been called 9.13.0a1, 9.13.0a2, 9.13.0b1, and so on, will instead be called 9.13.0, 9.13.1, 9.13.2, etc.

The first stable release from this development branch will be renamed as 9.14.0. Thereafter, maintenance releases will continue on the 9.14 branch, while unstable feature development proceeds in 9.15.

 


You will need a user who can log in to the DNS server and make changes to the directory in which the zones are being stored.  Additionally, it is often useful for this user to have the ability to restart the DNS server.  The login and password for this user will be required to configure this server on the DNS Admin page.

2) Set Server Specific Settings

The next section is entering server service-type specific settings. The options visible in this section will depend on the "DNS Service" type chosen under "Common Settings". 

...

The new server will now be added to the DNS Servers list. These settings may be changed at any time by selecting the server from the server list and editing the information.
