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.
