Bind4/IPv6/DNSSEC support

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi all,

Bind4 is known to be IPv6 ready since release 4.9.5. So I tried to understand how to deal with but I didn't find any documentation on this topic, except a very very old "IPv6" draft written by Paul Vixie in 1996 and still available in recent system sources (OpenBSD 3.1 -> /usr/src/usr.sbin/named/doc/misc/ipv6) as the unique bind4-IPv6 documentation on the system.

Nothing more in the named man nor in the OpenBSD FAQ. Same thing regarding DNSSEC : I didn't even find if bind4 was now supporting DNSSEC, and the DNSSEC website and mailing-lists just speak about Bind4 as a "deprecated" DNS...

I've an heavy confidence in OpenBSD developpers choices, so I would clearly prefer to keep Bind4 instead of installing Bind9, but I need to know if IPv6 support is just a legend or not, and if DNSSEC support exists or may exist. Optionally I would enjoy some precisions on the related options :-) (like the Bind9 listen-to-v6 for example). Any indication is welcome.

Thanks per advance,

Virginie
