By upgrading to BIND 8.2.3, users can fix these problems.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE bind.tgz PACKAGE:
---------------------------------------------------
Be sure to backup your name server configuration files (/etc/named.conf
and the /var/named directory) for safe measure. Then stop the name
server:
# ndc stop
Now run upgradepkg on the new BIND package:
# upgradepkg bind.tgz
The name server can now be restarted:
# ndc start
Remember, it's also a good idea to backup configuration files before
upgrading packages.
