Noted. In the SPEC file, it appears to be included, and the source definitely includes it. When I build the RPM, it has the appropriate switches on configure and the right defines for CC, it just doesn't seem to work :=(


%{?!SDB:        %define SDB         1}
%{?!LIBBIND:    %define LIBBIND     1}
%{?!efence:     %define efence      0}
%{?!test:       %define test        0}
%{?!WITH_DBUS:  %define WITH_DBUS   0} # + dynamic forwarder table management with D-BUS
%{?!bind_uid:   %define bind_uid   25}
%{?!bind_gid:   %define bind_gid   25}
%{?!DLZ:        %define DLZ         1}
%{?!GSSTSIG:    %define GSSTSIG     1}

%description sdb
BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an implementation of the DNS
(Domain Name System) protocols. BIND includes a DNS server (named-sdb)
which has compiled-in SDB (Simplified Database Backend) which includes
support for using alternative Zone Databases stored in an LDAP server
(ldapdb), a postgreSQL database (pgsqldb), an sqlite database (sqlitedb),
or in the filesystem (dirdb), in addition to the standard in-memory RBT
(Red Black Tree) zone database. It also includes support for DLZ
(Dynamic Loadable Zones)

This did occur to me as well, so I put an error in it deliberately and running named-sdb -g definitely barfs with the config error. However, if I put an error in the DLZ definition, it doesn't.
Googling around would indicate that other people are in fact using this RPM with DLZ I just can't seem to work out how to turn it on.
