[SPAM] Win2k and bind
I know this is a very lame question, But I have been out of the Bind loop for a number of years ( yes I went over to the dark side ...MS DNS) but I want to come back. My question is this I have win2K servers what version of bind will run on this?

Unfortunately W2K was dropped a while ago, no safe version available for it. > I know this is a very lame question, But I have been out of the Bind loop > for a number of years ( yes I went over to the dark side ...MS DNS) but I > want to come back.

Considering 2003, 2003 R2, 2008, and 2008 R2 (technically done, but will officially release in October) have been released, I don't think dropping support for an ancient operating system from 9.5 years ago and roughly 3 prior generations that the vendor doesn't even support is a bad idea. :) 2k boxes are time bombs, IMO. -Vinny > -Original Message- > From: bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users- > boun...@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Jukka Pakkanen > Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 4:41 PM > To: Greg > Cc: bind-users@lists.isc.org > Subject: Re: [SPAM] Win2k and bind > > Unfortunately W2K was dropped a while ago, no safe version available > for it. > > > > I know this is a very lame question, But I have been out of the Bind > loop > > for a number of years ( yes I went over to the dark side ...MS DNS) > but I > > want to come back.

Search web/archives for more info. Until M$ fixes that one (I doubt so), new BIND won't be compatible with w2k. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.

Search web/archives for more info. That's not exactly true. The security fixes did not require any Windows-specific changes. However the fixes did provoke an existing bug in the Windows code that needed to be fixed. To fix that the accept and connect code needed to be revamped (among other areas) and the best way to do that required changes to clean up the implementation. Functions only available with Windows XP and later were needed to do this. > > Until M$ fixes that one (I doubt so), new BIND won't be compatible with w2k. > No, they'd have to add the API functions to an obsolete version of Windows.
