Re: BIND 8/9 Compatibility

I don't think I was mistaken. The page on BIND 9 clearly states that the
resolver libraries packaged with BIND 9 are not compatible with the
resolver libraries packaged with BIND 8. Hence anything linked with a
BIND 8 library may not work with the BIND 9 resolver libraries. The page
states that the res_[blah blah] functions are not compatible with BIND
9's resolver libraries.

That says to me that anything that has been linked against res_init (for
example) won't work.
