This release is a major new release. The major new feature is
experimental support for DNSSEC. This support is disabled by default
until the DNSSEC standards are finalized. Also new is a lex/yacc based
zone parser that should be RFC compliant.
Since NSD 1.2.4 there are major internal code changes: the database
format is much more compact and responses are generated on-the-fly
instead of being precompiled in the database. These changes were made
to make DNSSEC implementation easier. See the presentation at
http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/presentations/ripe47/ for a description of
these changes and the performance impact.
NSD 2.0.0 has been fully regression tested against bind 8.4.4 and NSD
1.2.4 using the root and .nl zones.
Please read the README document for configuration and installation
instructions.
