hi philip,
per a post
(<
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Unix-porting/2004/Nov/msg00030.html>) by
Jordan Hubbard (Engineering Manager, BSD technology group, Apple Computer) on
apple's unix-porting list re: BIND_8_COMPAT utilization ...
"It would be better if you ported this software to the BIND9 APIs anyway
(or found someone able to do this for you). We're going to retire the BIND8
compatibility APIs in the not-at-all-distant future and the BIND_8_COMPAT
hack was a solution which was only destined to work for a release or two.
Its days are numbered."
it may, hence, be worthwhile to _avoid_ the BIND_8_COMPAT flag altogether ...
thoughts?
