We hope users of BIND 9.0.0b2 will provide feedback, bug fixes, and
enhancements. If you are not in a position to do so, it would
probably be better to wait until subsequent releases.
Much of the core technology planned for BIND 9.0.0 is in this beta
release. Some of the highlights are:
There have been many changes since beta 1; the highlights are:
IPv6
Many more config file options are now implemented. See
doc/misc/options for a summary of the current implementation
status.
Support for bitstring labels, DNAME, and A6 records.
Portability improvements. In particular, this beta should work
much better than beta 1 on FreeBSD 3.4.
IPv6-aware resolver (follows A6 chains, can use IPv6 to
talk to other nameservers).
The nameserver listens on an IPv6 socket.
DNSSEC
All new RR types supported.
The server generates DNSSEC responses for secure zones.
EDNS0
DNS messages using UDP have been limited to 512
bytes. This is too small for DNSSEC replies, whose
signature and key records can be large. EDNS0 allows
larger UDP messages to be sent.
EDNS0 is understood by the server, and used by the
resolver.
Bug fixes. Almost all bugs reported against beta 1 have been
fixed.

enhanced in a future beta are
