Howdy,

I've just completed the import of BIND 9.3.1 to HEAD. I've tested this
import through many world builds and installs with various combinations of
make.conf flags, so assuming that I've committed the right bits, there
should be no problems.

It would be very useful if those who have SMP systems could give this
version of BIND a whirl. Some improvements were made to the threading in
9.3.1 and it would be good if they got some shaking out. You can try it by
doing '/etc/rc.d/named forcestart' which should named up in "resolver only"
mode. You can then test it by doing 'dig _at_127.0.0.1 www.yahoo.com a' and
such. Of course, those who can give it more robust testing are encouraged to
do so.

The goal (assuming all parties agree) is to MFC this import to RELENG_5
before 5.4-RELEASE goes out the door both in order to ship with the latest
and greatest, and also because there is a very small vulnerability in 9.3.0
that this would be a good way to correct.

Regards,

Doug
