BIND version 9 is a major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying BIND
architecture. Some of the important features of BIND 9 are:
DNS Security
DNSSEC (signed zones)
TSIG (signed DNS requests)
IP version 6
Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets
IPv6 resource records (AAAA)
Experimental IPv6 Resolver Library
DNS Protocol Enhancements
IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0
Improved standards conformance
Views
One server process can provide multiple "views" of
the DNS namespace, e.g. an "inside" view to certain
clients, and an "outside" view to others.
Multiprocessor Support
Improved Portability Architecture
