This release is a bug fix release. Users of NSD 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 should
upgrade because of a problem with wildcard handling that was introduced in
NSD 1.2.0 and fixed in this release (bug #64).

Please read the README document for configuration and installation
instructions.

You can download NSD from http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/

I've switched all my authoritative DNS servers over to NSD 1.2.2 and all seems
well at the moment. I'm not doing anything tricky with it (no IPv6, no AXFR,
only a few domains) so it isn't likely to stress it. I did install it by first
building it into a Slackware TGZ package, then doing Slackware's "installpkg"
command to do the final install.

It was compiled by GCC 3.2.2.

All the servers are running the following:
P-III @ 800 MHz -or- Celeron @ 333 MHz
Linux 2.4.21
GLIBC 2.3.1

The Slackware package I built can be downloaded from:
