And another one - to save us from reviewing /etc/sysstat/sysstat.new when only version number changes in there, can we get that version number dropped entirely?
Unbound doesn't provide the same features than BIND (Unbound does recursive DNS only, not authoritative). It would be nice to get it added, but BIND should remain. Same thing with drill and dig, drill is really oriented for DNSSEC troubleshooting, dig is more common and accessible.

Unbound is recursive only, yes, which is why I wrote nsd/unbound. nsd is authorative.
As for drill, I use it as a drop in replacement for dig and don't miss anything.

My bad, I read your initial post too quickly and I missed the mention about nsd (that provides an authoritative service indeed).
Nevertheless, BIND is actively maintained and works properly. When it would be nice to have some extra options for DNS services, there is probably more important priorities to add or replace other pieces of software in Slackware.
