Subject: Anyone ported BIND 4.8.3 to HP-UX 7.0 ?

Hi,

We run HP's named on a 9000/835 with HP-UX 7.0, and we experienced 
some problems.

HP's named is based on BIND 4.8.0, and thus has the problem that it has
no asynchronous zone transfer; i.e. the server refuses to answer queries
when a zone is being transferred. This problem is solved in later 
releases of the public domain BIND, and it will be solved in release 8.0
of HP-UX, which will be shipped out to us somewhere in May.

We tried porting BIND 4.8.3 to HP-UX, but encountered some problems in
doing so.

Is there anyone who ported BIND version 4.8.3 or 4.8.2 to HP-UX 7.0
succesfully?
If so, we'd like to have this port and run it until HP's new version
is available.

Thanks!
