Changed Features
This section describes the changed features in BIND 9.2.0.
HP-specific Options
The following lists the HP-specific options added in BIND 9.2.0:
• noforward
This option cannot be specified in “options” statement in BIND
9.2.0. Instead, forwarding can be suppressed by including an empty
forwarders sub-statement as shown in the following example:
options {
forwarders { 192.249.249.1; };
}
zone “hp.com” {
type slave;
masters { 192.249.249.4; };
file “db.hp”;
forwarders { };
}
This will suppress queries like “foo.india.hp.com” from being
forwarded to nameservers at 192.249.249.1.
NOTE Forwarding to the nameservers available in the delegation information
cannot be suppressed using an empty forwarders sub-statement.
• alias-ip
This option is now no longer supported. Use the “listen-on” option
of the “Options” statement to implement the alias-ip option.

• auth-nxdomain yes/no
