- bind 4.9 will allow SOA records in include files. Earlier versions
- didn't work.

-
- This feature works fine for me with Berkeley bind 4.8.1 and 4.9-alpha.
- I don't know about the HP versions.

-
- I have sent in some patches to get bind 4.9-alpha to work under HP-UX.
- If Paul Vixie accepts my patches then I expect that bind 4.9 will work
- on HP-UX with no fuss.

- If you don't want to wait for 4.9 (which I think is likely to
- go into public beta testing within the next couple of weeks) or
- for HP, you could try my patches to 4.8.1. They are available in
- ftp.ee.und.ac.za:/pub/unix/bind4.8.1+apb.diff. Sorry, I don't have a
- 4.8.3 version of these patches, but other folk have reported successfully
- merging them into 4.8.3.
