Getting a Precompiled Version of BIND

1.14.1 Problem

You need a copy of BIND precompiled for your particular operating system.

1.14.2 Solution

Search the software archive for your operating system for a precompiled version of BIND. Here are the locations of precompiled versions of BIND for a few popular operating systems:

FreeBSD 4.6

BIND 9.2.1: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/net/bind9-9.2.1.tgz

Red Hat Linux 7.3

BIND 9.2.0: Ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.3/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/bind-9.2.0-8.i386.rpm

Solaris 8

BIND 9.2.1: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/solaris/freeware/sparc/8/bind-9.2.1-sol8-sparc-local.gz

Windows 2000 and XP

BIND 9.2.1: ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/contrib/ntbind-9.2.1/BIND9.2.1.zip

1.14.3 Discussion

This option doesn't allow any customization of compile-time options, like whether BIND is built multithreaded or with IPv6 support, so I'd recommend compiling your own copy of BIND if you can.
