We are concerned with the fact that BIND 4.9.4, in order to conform
to the RFCs, will disallow certain characters to be used in keys.

This has major implications for Hesiod as regular expressions, slashes,
etc. can be used in DNS keys in amd automounter maps and other
applications.

What steps are being taken at other sites to address this?

Any information would be appreciated.
