LaMont Back in March you submitted a patch to us for improved MIPS performance in atomic operations. I'm pleased to say that we have accepted the patch and it will be appear in the upcoming BIND 9.11.0. (It has been included in the beta-3, due out shortly. We expect 9.11.0 proper to be released next month.) It will also be included in the next maintenance releases of BIND 9.9 and BIND 9.10. Thank you for your interest in BIND. Stephen Morris
