OPPS that was class=hs. We plan to migrate to class=in when we do some cell
merging. Hesiod is supported (being integrated...) in BIND 8.8.x in the form
of class=IN. This will be the long term future of hesiod most likely (IMO).
The comment about problems with various DNS server (class=in or class=hs
actually) is noted. Anybody running BIND 4.9.5 and later should be able to
talk correctly to each other. Older version have various problems that
require odd hacks to work with class=HS correctly. A common problem is
longer length records. Untill 4.9.5 we had to increase PACKETSZ on our
systems to get some of our AMD maps and long aliases to work.
