 BIND version 9 is a major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying
 BIND architecture. This re-architecting of BIND was necessitated by the
-expected demands of:
+expected demands of domain name system growth, the need for secure queries   
+and zone transfers as well as IP version 6.   
 
-	- Domain name system growth, particularly in very large
-	  zones such as .COM
-	- Protocol enhancements necessary to securely query and
-	  update zones
-	- Protocol enhancements necessary to take advantage of
-	  certain architectural features of IP version 6
+Flavours:
 
-These demands implied performance requirements that were not necessarily
-easy to attain with the BIND version 8 architecture.  In particular, BIND
-must not only be able to run on multi-processor multi-threaded systems,
-but must take full advantage of the performance enhancements these
-architectures can provide. In addition, the underlying data storage
-architecture of BIND version 8 does not lend itself to implementing
-alternative back end databases, such as would be desirable for the support
-of multi-gigabyte zones. As such zones are easily foreseeable in the
-relatively near future, the data storage architecture needed revision. The
-feature requirements for BIND version 9 included:
-
-	- Scalability
-		Thread safety
-	        Multi-processor scalability
-	        Support for very large zones
-
-	- Security
-	        Support for DNSSEC
-	        Support for TSIG
-	        Auditability (code and operation)
-	        Firewall support (split DNS)
-
-	- Portability
-
-	- Maintainability
-
-	- Protocol Enhancements
-	        IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0
-	        Improved standards conformance
-
-	- Operational enhancements
-	        High availability and reliability
-	        Support for alternative back end databases
-
-	- IP version 6 support
-	        IPv6 resource records (A6, DNAME, etc.)
-	        Bitstring labels
-	        APIs
