I upgrade our DNS server the week-end but only to bind 9.2.2-P2. (And I
see there's a new release already. Sigh...)  It's helped clear out a
bunch of mail queues.

I'm new to the list, but I do want to echo the thanks to Paul Vixie and
the ISC for their prompt work. Thanks You very much!

It breaks a few things we care about--for example, www.ithaca.ny.us is
a naked CNAME in the the us root:

dsr_lnxcu9% dig @b.gtld.biz www.ithaca.ny.us

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @b.gtld.biz www.ithaca.ny.us

which is, IMO, more than a bit crazed, particularly considering that
ci.ithaca.ny.us is delegated, but there it is.

It hasn't been that large an issue in the past, and as pointed out by 
some, the countermeasures are just as harmful. I hope that 
delegation-only is only a temporary measure in bind. I'm sure some 
people will keep it running and probably put it on tld's where it'll 
break valid records.

Now all I need is a patched version of the 9.3 snapshot tree, so I don't need
to kill my dnssec stuff :P (And it's time for a non-snapshot bind version
with full dnssec capabilities anyway :)

We've been using these patches on production servers since they first
came out (both the 9.2.2 patches and the 9.2.3rcx versions); no problems
reported so far (knock wood).

I am using bind 9.2.2-p2 on our resolver name servers so far.. And I have no
problems to report at this time, it's been running smooth so far; mail queues
started clearing out nice and clean.

Thought I'd mention that I helped setup BIND 9.2.3rc3 on a yellowdog 
linux powercomputing machine tonight.  It worked.  And the mail queues 
began clearing out.  Just for an oddball success report. 

Are others having similar luck?  What needs to be done to make this a 
standard feature set?  Is somebody working on an RFC?
