Differences of Bind 10 to other software ======================================== BIND 9 ------ TODO: There are definitely more differences than just this. * When an incoming zone transfer fails, for example because the received zone doesn't contain a NS record, bind 9 stops serving the zone and returns SERVFAIL to queries for that zone. Bind 10 still uses the previous version of zone. RDATA implementations: * IN/A: BIND 10 does not accept abbreviated forms of textual IPv4 addresses for class-IN, type-A RDATA. BIND 9 warns about it but still accepts it as the standard inet_aton() function. Such forms should actually be NOT accepted per RFC 1035, but BIND 9 accepts them probably because of compatibility reasons. Until our strict (and more correct) behavior causes operations issues, we'll keep it.
