hi everyone

i need to install bind version 9.11 for a samba dc, do i have to match bind-tools to the same version or can i install the latest version of bind-tools version 9.13. shadrock

* On Arch bind-tools has no dependency on bind, so it should be possible. * Note that bind-tools 9.13 has some open bugs relating to IPv6 address parsing in resolv.conf, so you might want to use bind-tools 9.11 anyway. * If you need to deploy a bind service in a specific version, you may want to consider using a containerized deployment to minimize interference with the base system and maintenance burden as you probably want to stay on the 9.11.x release train for a longer period of time. Docker, LXC, LXD (only via AUR) would all work.
