Compiled distributions of these new BIND versions built for Leopard can be found here:

http://support.menandmice.com/download/bind/macosx/

To install, use these commands in a command shell:
Code:

 sudo -s
 tar xzC / -f bind-<ver>-binary-<arch>.tar.gz
 killall named
 exit

To view the list of files in the archive before installing, use this command:
Code:

 tar tzf bind-<ver>-binary-<arch>.tar.gz

These binaries are available in both i386 and PPC7400 flavors (32-bit Intel and PowerPC architectures, i.e. G4 and Core [Solo|Duo]). They will run just fine on 64-bit operating systems and architectures.

Support for openssl and IPv6 are built in, along with support for large files (mainly for the purpose of writing log files). Threads are disabled for stability; if every ounce of speed is needed, recompile with threads enabled (see script below).

MD5 hashes are as follows:

Intel architecture:
