- I've gotten about as far as I'm going to get with it on my own. This
- version is running the DEC.COM primary on gatekeeper.dec.com and also
- the UUCP Zone servers on uucp-gw-{1,2}.pa.dec.com whose named.boot files
- are each about 2200 lines long. There are a few observed badnesses, but
- fewer than in 4.8.3. I want to get some other people to run this code
- and make sure it's as portable as I've tried to make it.
-
- This will be a controlled, private Alpha test. If you reply (by mail)
- to this message offerring to test this stuff, let me know...
-
- 1. what domains you would make it primary for?
- 2. how many domains (of what approximate) size
- would you make it secondary for?
- 3. how many servers would you run it on?
- 4. what architecture and operating system
- are these servers?
-
- Prerequisites:
- internet access including e-mail and ftp.
- willingness/ability to find and fix bugs and portability problems.
-
- I will answer all the offers I get, either by saying "sorry, thanks anyway"
- or "ok, you're on the mailing list, wait for further instructions".
-
- The Alpha will last until 31-December or so, after which I will announce a
- public Beta here and on the BIND mailing list.
