Hi, since the BugZilla seems to be down currently (I get a "DBD::mysql::db selectrow_array failed: called with 4 bind variables when 3 are needed" when adding a new bug or searching for one while being logged in, forwarded to webmaster@) I'll post it to the ML and open discussion :-) Almost the last feature I would need to replace some more of my BINDs with NSD is the support of BINDs $GENERATE statement. IMHO it should be pretty straight forward to implement something like that, since the syntax is pretty easy (but I'm no programmer, so don't count on me). It is described on page 97 of the (today) current BIND9 ARM at http://www.nominum.com/content/documents/bind9arm.pdf to my guess >99% of current $GENERATE occurences are done without the modifiers on the lhs/rhs, so this feature could be omitted. For those who don't know them, $GENERATE statements can be used to do something like $GENERATE 0-255 $ IN NS ns1.sld.tld. being expanded to 0 IN NS ns1.sld.tld [...] 255 IN NS ns1.sld.tld Any thoughts?

Because it helps - ISPs supporting RFC 2317 style inverse query setup. - ISPs, Companies, Campus who have pool address blocks for IPCP, DHCP, etc. Koh-ichi Ito
