ISC does not recommend using BIND 9.0.0b3 for "production"
DNS queries differently to different requestors. This
will make split DNS setups much easier to build.

The "dig" and "host" tools have been completely rewritten
and are included in the base distribution.
There are still some known bugs, including:
- The random data used in generating DNSSEC keys and
- signatures contains a significant pseudorandom
- component and is therefore not cryptographically
- strong. We do not recommend the use of keys generated

-
The option "query-source * port 53;" will not work as
expected. Instead of the wildcard address "*", you need
to use an explicit source IP address.
Some of the more significant items that will be implemented or
enhanced in a future beta are
-
- Selective Forwarding
