Are both BIND 9.11 and BIND 9.16 supported in RHEL 8?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • For ISC BIND 9 DNS service, RHEL 8 provides both bind and bind9.16 packages.

  • Has Red Hat changed the naming convention for updates, i.e. will the next update be bind9.17, etc.?

  • Will Red Hat provide updates for BIND 9.11 and 9.16 for the full 10-year lifecycle of RHEL 8?

    • ISC (the upstream vendor) no longer supports BIND 9.11, which is shipped with the bind package. Is this version still supported by Red Hat?
