Hello,

I have read the list archives and the known-issues document for OE and
understand that there is an issue with "some versions of BIND"
following CNAME records to get KEY and/or TXT records. The whole
issue seems kinda muddy though.

My impression is that some versions of BIND work, some do not? BIND 9
seems to be promising? Is this an issue with the DNS hosting the
CNAME records or the one hosting the KEY/TXT records or the DNS server
where the query starts? If the latter, aye-karumba, if the first,
yuck and if the second, well that is a more easily dealt with problem.

Is there any "know-to-work" versions of BIND for this setup? Latest
perhaps? It will be so much easier to explain to my service provider
to install a single CNAME record that to have them install and update
TXT/KEY records.

Thanx for any input you may have. Success/fail reports on versions of
BIND would be helpful to me and other list readers/searchers in
general I think.

b.
