Re: Bind4/IPv6/DNSSEC support

One thing is to support ipv6 name resolution, another is being able to listen 
on an ipv6 address for queries and so on... when djbdns will include a stable 
and default ipv6 support, in tcp and udp mode, I will be happy to drop bind9, 
but until then, I will continue to use bind9 chrooted and unprivileged.

Correct me if i'm wrong =)
