Don’t defer your DNS upgrade to BIND 9; the time is now!
The Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) recently announced that BIND 8 is at its end of life, and advised DNS administrators currently using BIND 8 to upgrade to BIND 9. While an upgrade from one major version to the next for any product usually evokes dread, the move to BIND 9 can be relatively painless. Plus, there are many benefits BIND 9 offers over BIND 8, including improved security, views, IPv6 support and better DNS protocol compliance. Nevertheless, there are key trade-offs related to features, performance and security vulnerabilities that need to be assessed in order to determine the best upgrade approach for your network.
View this free webinar to learn about key differences between BIND 8 and BIND 9 as well as the most critical upgrade considerations.
