-# This Makefile will install D-BUS support into the ISC BIND 9.3.2b1+ source,
-# necessary to support dynamic forwarding table management with D-BUS, for
-# Red Hat NetworkManager support.
-#
-# After running "make" in this directory, simply run make in the top level
-# BIND source directory, and D-BUS support will be enabled.
