NSD 2.1.2 release notes:
FEATURES:
- NSD now fully supports unknown record types using the notation
specified in RFC3597.
- Support for the following RR types has been added: WKS, X25, ISDN,
RT, NSAP, PX, NAPTR, KX, CERT, DNAME, and APL. DNAME special
processing is not supported.
BUG FIXES:
- Bug #84: NSD now uses SIGUSR1 instead of SIGILL to report stats.
- Bug #85: Support for WKS records.
- Bug #86: The characters "#%&^[]?" can now be used without backslash
in zone file domain names.
- Plugin callback return type fixed.
- The maximum message length for IPv6 UDP packets is now limited to
the IPv6 minimum MTU (1280) unless the IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU socket
option is supported.

the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port. Ports that
set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
the included version. To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.
For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:
USE_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
.la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).

Bound to be hidden problems: You bet
- Better handling of timeout (instead of a static value,
start with five seconds and double it each retry)
- Warnings are printed if you receive a different RR type
than the one you asked for (for example when you ask for
an A record and receive a CNAME)
- Fixed problems when records received in the authority
field are shorter than the domain the nameserver is
authoritative for.
- When compiled without IPv6 support on an IPv6 capable
machine the machine tried to query the IPv6 translated
IPv5 address anyway.
- -C caches hosts which haven't answered too.
One-Record-Per-File bases. Because of this, sheerdns is the simplest of any DNS
to configure, the easiest to update, and the most efficient for networks that
experience a lot of updates (for example master servers for dynamic IP address
ranges).
