+This directory contains contributed scripts, tools, libraries, and other
+useful accessories to BIND 9. Contrib software is not supported by ISC,
+but reported bugs will be fixed as time permits.
+
+ - scripts/
+
+ Assorted useful scripts, including 'nanny' which monitors
+ named and restarts it in the event of a crash, 'zone-edit'
+ which enables editing of a dynamic zone, and others
+
+ - queryperf/
+
+ A DNS query performance testing tool
+
+ - perftcpdns/
+
+ A performance testing tool for DNS over TCP
+
+ - dane/
+
+ mkdane.sh generates TLSA records for use with DNS-based
+ Authentication of Named Entities (DANE)
+
+ - dnspriv/
+
+ Sample configuration for setting up a DNS-over-TLS server
+ using BIND with Nginx as a TLS proxy
+
+ - dlz/modules
+
+ Dynamically linkable DLZ modules that can be configured into
+ named at runtime, enabling access to external data sources including
+ LDAP, MySQL, Berkeley DB, perl scripts, etc
+
+ - dlz/drivers
+
+ Old-style DLZ drivers that can be linked into named at compile
+ time. (These are no longer actively maintained and are expected
+ to be deprecated eventually.)
+
+ - sdb/
+
+ SDB drivers: another mechanism for accessing external data
+ sources. (These are no longer actively maintained and are
+ expected to be deprecated eventually.)
+
+ - idn/
+
+ Contains source for 'idnkit', which provides support for
+ Internationalized Domain Name processing.
+
+ - dnsperf-2.1.0.0-1/
+ - dnsperf-patches/
+
+ DNS server performance testing tools, like 'queryperf' but more
+ advanced: 'dnsperf' focuses on authoritative server performance
+ and 'resperf' on recursive server performance. The patch that
+ adds support for EDNS Client Subnet can be found in dnsperf-patches
+ directory.
+
+Formerly, there was more software included in this directory, but we
+have removed it in favour of using canonical upstream locations. You
+can find the links to the nslint, query-loc and zkt, and other software
+we find useful but do not necessarily support, at:
