Add bind9 server to IPFire system?

Both above are true.

unbound is used as the DNS server on IPFire.

bind is also installed but only used to provide the utilities

  • dig
  • host
  • nslookup
  • nsupdate

and the libraries

  • libbind9
  • libdns
  • libirs
  • libisc
  • libisccc
  • libisccfg
  • libns

for those applications used in IPFire that require certain bind libraries to be linked in for their usage.
bind is not used as a dns server on IPFire.
