NAMED-040_A052 - NAMED ECO kit Rev 4.0 for MultiNet V5.2A       25-JUN-2008 

    Copyright © 2008 Process Software, LLC
 
    This kit updates MultiNet version 5.2 Rev A with a new version of 
    the Bind 9 Nameserver (NAMED.EXE), and includes the Remote Nameserver
    Daemon Control Tool (RNDC.EXE) and RNDC Configuration Generator 
    (RNDC-CONFGEN.EXE) tools.  RNDC allows a system administrator to control 
    a Nameserver running on a remote host.  RNDC supports HMAC-MD5 keys, 
    which can be generated with the RNDC-CONFGEN tool.

    The ranking for this ECO is 3. The overall ranking for it is 0.

    NAMED-040_A052 -- ECO Rank 3 
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    The following changes have been made in this kit:

    Corrects a problem with cluster services/load balancing introduced by
        the NAMED-030_A052 ECO.
                (D/E 10744 ECO NAMED-040_A052) ECO Rank: 3


    This kit also includes the following changes from previous ECOs:

        - implement recent ISC security update to fix the Cache
          Poisoning problem which could result in pharming attacks when
          the nameserver is configured as caching-only.
                (D/E 10556 ECO NAMED-030_A052)  ECO Rank: 0

        - correct logging problem where specifying a file version limit 
          could cause the nameserver to crash
                (D/E 10550 ECO NAMED-020_A052)  ECO Rank: 2

        - correct possible locking/cpu usage issues on VAX platforms
                (ECO NAMED-020_A052) ECO Rank: 2

        - RNDC-CONFGEN image installed as part of Nameserver tool base
                (ECO NAMED-020_A052) ECO Rank: 2

        - corrected problem with handling of type 0/invalid class queries
                (D/E 10528 ECO NAMED-010_A052)  ECO Rank: 2

        - corrected version number problem with local database files, will
          no longer create multiple file versions after zone transfers
                (D/E 10527 ECO NAMED-010_A052)  ECO Rank: 2

        - RNDC image installed as part of Nameserver tool base
                (D/E 10523 ECO NAMED-010_A052)  ECO Rank: 2

        - corrected problem where Nameserver could crash/hang with "UDP
          client handler shutting down" message
                (D/E 10519 ECO NAMED-010_A052)  ECO Rank: 2
                 ** NOTE - REQUIRES ECO UCXDRIVER-010_A052 or LATER

        - allow debug log file to be accessed while Nameserver is running

        - corrected intermittent problem with netcontrol domain restart 
          command

        Note:  For further information on using RNDC, we recommend referring 
        to O'Reilly's DNS and BIND, 4th Edition.

        To run RNDC or RNDC-CONFGEN, define symbols:

        $ rndc :== $multinet:rndc.exe
        $ rndcconfgen :== $multinet:rndc-confgen.exe

    You need to restart the Nameserver for these changes to take effect.  The
    following commands will do it:

        $ multinet netcontrol domain shutdown
        $ @multinet:start_server restart
