Clean (trimmed down) import of bind-4.9.6 onto vendor branch. This is

to buy time to allow v8.1.1 to be done right rather than rushing it.

 Read the top of CHANGES for interesting stuff.
 
-Don't forget to purge all your secondary zone files before upgrading to this
-BIND if your existing one came from a vendor.
-
-The NOTIFY feature is turned off by default, but it's really cool and you
-should consider turning it on if you are willing to risk having it not work
-after the RFC process is complete (if the protocol has to change at all.)
-It already does not conform to the draft protocol so you should consider it
-"experimental" even if it happens to work fine.
-
------ 4.9.3 BETA10 release - August, 1994 - paul@vix.com
-
-I recommend reading this ENTIRE FILE before you attempt to build or use BIND.
-However, you can get started quickly by scanning down this file for "QUICK" in
-the right margin and just reading those sections.  You can also look at the
-INSTALL file.  You should look at doc/info/* if you have trouble building.
-
-There are at least two known bugs in this BIND:
-
-1.	if you have two authoritative zones (primary or secondary) where
-	one is a subzone of the other, e.g.,
-		primary	pa.dec.com	z/pa.dec.com
-		primary dec.com		z/dec.com
-	and you remove or comment out the subzone (pa.dec.com in our example)
-	and SIGHUP named, the delegation and other RR's at "pa.dec.com" will
-	be missing from your cache.  to avoid this, you should "named.restart"
-	rather than SIGHUP ("named.reload") when making changes of this kind.
-
-2.	the /HS qualifier doesn't work on "cache" directives.  you will have
-	to put your hesiod root information into your main "root.cache" file.
-
-Also, you may find that your utilities will not link with this -lresolv
-unless you also install lib44bsd.a and link with -lresolv -l44bsd.  This
-is because older systems do not include inet_aton() and other functions.
-
------ 4.9.3 BETA6 release - June, 1994 - paul@vix.com
-
-Several private beta test releases have come and gone, and we've fixed a
-number of things.  See CHANGES for details.
-
-There is a new Sun Shared Library update mechanism in place, and it works
-quite well.  See shres/*.  
-
-Versions of NSLOOKUP up through BIND 4.8.3's used IQUERY to ask the local
-server for information about the server's own name.  I assume that this was
-done in a "what the heck, nothing uses these, how can we contrive a need?"
-sort of spirit.  I removed this code as of BIND 4.9's NSLOOKUP and had it
-use the standard gethostbyaddr() mechanisms (which depend on normal queries
-of PTR data).  Disabling INVQ and putting "options fake-iquery" in the boot
-file will cause IQUERY to be answered bogusly but in a way that old nslookup
-programs won't trip on.  INVQ is disabled by default in conf/options.h.
-
------ 4.9.3 BETA2 release - June, 1994 - paul@vix.com
-
-News flash! BIND development is now funded by the Internet Software Consortium.
-
-Look at CHANGES to see what's new.  Check out doc/misc to see some interesting
-papers from Purdue (and Bell Labs, if we're lucky) on DNS security that
-motivated many of the security-related changes present in this release.
-
-Check out shres/Makefile for SunOS4 shared library support.
-
-INVQ now defaults to "undef".  See OPTIONS and conf/options.h.
-
-ALLOW_UPDATES is no longer available, and will be removed next release.
-
-You should look hard at the SENSIBLE_DOTS option and convert your serial 
-numbers either to "sensible" ones or ones without dots (YYYYMMDD## preferred).
-SENSIBLE_DOTS will be the default in the next release.
-
-NCACHE and VALIDATE are _working_ now.
-
-Read the BOG!  It's been updated since the previous release.
-
-If you are a vendor and are including some or all of this code in your product,
-please drop me a line to let me know.  I field a lot of questions about BIND
-and it is helpful for me to know which vendor releases contain which versions
-of BIND.  It's also helpful for me to have contacts within the engineering
-groups of the various vendors, since when I find a heinous bug I can let you
-know.

------ 4.9.2 FINAL (940221) release - February, 1994 - paul@vix.com
-
-If you look at the last entry in TODO, you'll see that there are a lot
-of things in the queue waiting to go in.  However, I'm holding the line
-so that 4.9.2-FINAL can be the same as what goes out with 4.4BSD-Lite.
-I expect to open 4.9.3-ALPHA fairly soon, with patches comprising new
-work; 4.9.2-FINAL will have patches released for it only to correct bugs.
-

------ 4.9.2 BETA5 (931205) release - December, 1993 - paul@vix.com
-
-no comments; see CHANGES file.
-
------ 4.9.2 BETA4 (931104) release - November, 1993 - paul@vix.com
-
-All reported portability problems have been fixed.  All core dumps have
-had changes made for them and we are ready to have them tested again.  As
-usual, I am running this in production on my own zones and I am rather
-confident in it.  Note, again, that this is a BETA release and you should
-not put it up for anon-ftp or otherwise republish it in any way.
-
------ 4.9.2 ALPHA2 (930908) release - September, 1993 - paul@vix.com
-
-4.9.2 has fixes for most of the bugs that smb@bellcore's white paper talked
-about, and CERT is going to be knocking on vendor's doors to get it shipped
-with as many operating systems as possible.
-
------ 4.9.2 ALPHA1 (930506) release - July, 1993 - Paul Vixie <paul@vix.com>
-
-I don't work for DEC any more, so note the new e-mail address.  The old
-<bind-4.9@pa.dec.com> list has been moved to <bind-workers@vix.com>; if
-you intend to help hack BIND and you want to be advised of alpha-testing
-releases, send mail to <bind-workers-request@vix.com> and ask to be added
-to the list.
-
-Note that 4.9.1 was an interrim, nonpublished release intended to catch
-the porting changes needed for 4.4BSD.  It never really existed separately.
-
------ 4.9 release - April, 1993 - Paul Vixie <vixie@pa.dec.com>
-
-For information on what's new in 4.9, see OPTIONS and CHANGES.  Also note
-that the man page for named(8) in man/named.8, and the entire Bind Operations
-Guide in doc/BOG/*, has been updated for 4.9.  Both make excellent reading.
-
-Those of you who are thinking of adding features should first read TODO to
-see if someone else has already indicated an intention to work on the same
-thing.  If your feature is significant you should ask <bind-workers@vix.com>
-before you hack, if for no other reason than to tell other maintainers to
-expect a patch soon.
-
-Note that the resolver has a number of routines that may already be present
-on your system.  Efforts have been made to avoid generating code for them on
-systems where they aren't needed; don't worry about them if they're
-generated unneccessarily since the linker will sort things out.
