I would like to replace the DEC supplied BIND
distribution with 4.9.3-BETA17.(1)
All compiles fine, and runs quite niceley.

I don't know how to replace the DEC supplied resolver library
with the new one.

Can anyone send me a cookbook aproach to replacing
modules in /usr/shlib/lib*.so?

Has anyone replaced BIND on OSF/1 v3.0? Any gotchas?

Thanks for your time,
doug

Gentlemen and ladies, we are "inches from a clean getaway"(*) with 4.9.3.
Please take a minute to make sure this thing still builds and runs on your
offbrand backroom boxes.  I want to rename it to "4.9.3-Rel" with no further
patches, and I will, unless someone speaks up pretty quickly about a problem
that is pretty serious.
        FTP Server:     ftp.vix.com
        Path:           /pri/vixie/bind-4.9.3-BETA17.tar.gz
        Size:           1532332 bytes

Let's try a kinder, gentler notice about my FTP server:
        You won't be able to "ls" or "dir" the file.  You must "cd" (inside
        of FTP) to the remote directory (/pri/vixie) unless you plan to create
        a local /pri/vixie or unless you plan to give "get" a second argument.
        You can't ping this ftp server, ever.  To retrieve this file, do this:
                $ ftp ftp.vix.com
                user: anonymous
                password: (your e-mail address)
                ftp> cd /pri/vixie
                ftp> binary
                ftp> get bind-4.9.3-BETA17.tar.gz
                ftp> quit
