The following are the known problems in BIND 9.2.0:

  • In BIND 9.2.0, if duplicate data is available for a query, the duplicate data will not be dropped.

  • Use of wildcard address "*" in "query-source address * port 53;" may not work as expected. Instead of the wildcard address "*", you need to use an explicit source IP address.

  • In IPv4 environments, DNS can listen on any specified addresses, whereas if you want to listen on IPv6 the flexibility of specifying the chosen addresses is not available. If you wish to accept DNS queries over IPv6, you need to specify "listen-on-v6 { any; };" in the named.conf Options statement.

  • The hosts_to_named configuration file migration script does not add the listen-on-v6 option to the named.conf file on a dual stack machine.

  • SAM NNC over IPv6 cannot set the DNS listen-on-any IPv6 socket option.

  • The DNS resolvers (res_*()) implement only RFC 1886 i.e., AAAA-based lookups.

  • nslookup recognizes only AAAA records and support for A6 records is not available.

NOTE: HP recommends using dig instead of nslookup, as it may be obsoleted in the future releases.

Refer to the dig(1m) man page for information about the dig utility.
