I should probably point out that when I was trying ldaps:// as
described in my previous mail above, I did _not_ specified a port and
yet I've got "lookup query must not specify a port" message.  It looks
as if the port is being added automatically by DLZ when ldaps:// is
used.

I've also considered another alternative to secure authentication --
Kerberos.  I have Kerberos 5 running and working but DLZ can be
configured just for Kerberos 4 (krb41, krb42).  Is there a way that
DLZ can authenticate to LDAP also with Kerberos 5?

Regards,
Robert

"GLUE" A records still not possible?

I recall from way, way back in my memory (several years back) that having
BIND+DLZ made it impossible for the DNS response to have "GLUE" A records,
like for nameserver lookups, etc.

I'm now using BIND9.7 with DLZ built-in, and I still see warnings from DNS
check services that my DNS server doesn't respond with GLUE records as it
is expected to. I understand it's not a loss of functionality, but just
requires extra lookups. But this is a performance thing and something I
really wish BIND could resolve (especially now that DLZ is built-in).

Is there no way to ever see this resolved? I would have expected at some
point over the last several years this could have been addresses,
especially when DLZ was officially absorbed into BIND.
