Lewis;
Thanks for the INFO.  I will geterdone and put up the latest  these are pro=
duction DNS so they need to run.  The current rev seems to run OK.

I presume the 9.11.20 has more security features?
Dan

As you will note here:

https://bind.isc.org/

9.11 is an ESV (Extended Service Release). 9.11.20 is indeed newer than 9.1=
2.4.

BIND 9.12.4 was a maintenance release, specifically to address issues discl=
osed in CVE-2018-5744, CVE-2018-5745, and CVE-2019-6465.

9.11.20, OTOH, addresses all security issues up through CVE-2020-8619:

https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/-/blob/v9_11/README.md

Not every higher version number necessarily denotes a *newer* or more secur=
e one. 9.12 was a development branch; 9.11 is a stable one.

9.16 is current, and will eventually become an ESV (I believe), so at some =
point, that should become our target.
