-  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:
-
-  - 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
-
-  The 9.0.0 release, and this release candidate, is aimed at
-early adopters and those who wish to make use of new 9.0
-features, such as IPv6 and DNSSEC secure resolution support.
+    BIND, the Berkeley Internet Name Daemon, version 9 is a major
+rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying BIND architecture.  Some
+of the important features of BIND-9 are:
+       - DNS Security
+               DNSSEC (signed zones)
+               TSIG (signed DNS requests)
+       - IP version 6
+               Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets
+               IPv6 resource records (A6, DNAME, etc.)
+               Bitstring Labels
+               Experimental IPv6 Resolver Library
+       - DNS Protocol Enhancements
+               IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0
+               Improved standards conformance
+       - Views
+               One server process can provide multiple "views" of the
+               DNS namespace to different clients.
+       - Multiprocessor Support
+       - Improved Portability Architecture
