Update Bind to 9.8.5-P2
New Features Adds a new configuration option, "check-spf"; valid values are "warn" (default) and "ignore". When set to "warn", checks SPF and TXT records in spf format, warning if either resource record type occurs without a corresponding record of the other resource record type. [RT #33355] Adds support for Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) resource records. [RT #23386] Adds support for the EUI48 and EUI64 RR types. [RT #33082] Adds support for the RFC 6742 ILNP record types (NID, LP, L32, and L64). [RT #31836] Feature Changes Changes timing of when slave zones send NOTIFY messages after loading a new copy of the zone. They now send the NOTIFY before writing the zone data to disk. This will result in quicker propagation of updates in multi-level server structures. [RT #27242] "named -V" can now report a source ID string. (This is will be of most interest to developers and troubleshooters). The source ID for ISC's production versions of BIND is defined in the "srcid" file in the build tree and is normally set to the most recent git hash. [RT #31494] Response Policy Zone performance enhancements. New "response-policy" option "min-ns-dots". "nsip" and "nsdname" now enabled by default with RPZ. [RT #32251] Approved by: delphij (mentor) Sponsored by: DK Hostmaster A/S
