Thanks to Lars Hecking, Steve Sandau, Tim Chapman, John Martinez,
Vic Engle, algol, Nate Campi, Steve Anich, Peter Ondruska, Luc Suryo,
& David Rhodes.

The concensus is that there should be no effect with client-server
communication
(BIND 9 has been successfully used with Solaris 2.6 - 8 clients), but there
may
some problems with server to server communication. Generally those that
responded
had had no problems using BIND 9, but some others recommended just upgrading
to the latest BIND 8, since BIND 9 is not in widespread use. Also mentioned
was
DJBDNS, which is a non BIND dns server.

Thanks,

/SK
