I have a few questions about nameserver which I'll try and rephrase
as clearly as possible:

  My  RT running AOS4.3 Dec Release is on a thick ethernet and happens
to be the only one in our building running a BSD flavor (others are VMS
Genera, and SysV etc.) We also have a router and we are subnetted to
.cuny.edu as .gc.cuny.edu. I am thinking of setting this RT as
nameserver to gc.cuny.edu (we have a Cisco router that now connects to
cunyvm.cuny.edu's ethernet via a t1, which has Cisco router and a protean
router) so that we have minimum problems about adding machines on our
building. The question is can I really create a named.boot without
without changing or updating to bind4.8 ?? And do I need to rebuild with
new set of network programs ?? (The update tape I got from my local REP
of the changes that were posted on usenet had more than he promised and
old makefiles that updated *all* my binaries and finally brought my machine
to a standstill. )

Thanks for your suggestion etc....
