+Notes for BIND 9.18.2
+---------------------
+
+New Features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Add a new configuration option ``reuseport`` to disable load balancing
+  on sockets in situations where processing of Response Policy Zones
+  (RPZ), Catalog Zones, or large zone transfers can cause service
+  disruptions. See the BIND 9 ARM for more detail. :gl:`#3249`
+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Previously, zone maintenance DNS queries retried forever if the
+  destination server was unreachable. These queries included outgoing
+  NOTIFY messages, refresh SOA queries, parental DS checks, and stub
+  zone NS queries. For example, if a zone had any nameservers with IPv6
+  addresses and a secondary server without IPv6 connectivity, that
+  server would keep trying to send a growing amount of NOTIFY traffic
+  over IPv6. This futile traffic was not logged. This excessive retry
+  behavior has been fixed. :gl:`#3242`
+
+- A number of crashes and hangs which could be triggered in
+  :iscman:`dig` were identified and addressed. :gl:`#3020` :gl:`#3128`
+  :gl:`#3145` :gl:`#3184` :gl:`#3205` :gl:`#3244` :gl:`#3248`
+
+- Invalid ``dnssec-policy`` definitions, where the defined keys did not
+  cover both KSK and ZSK roles for a given algorithm, were being
+  accepted. These are now checked, and the ``dnssec-policy`` is rejected
+  if both roles are not present for all algorithms in use. :gl:`#3142`
+
+- Handling of TCP write timeouts has been improved to track the timeout
+  for each TCP write separately, leading to a faster connection teardown
+  in case the other party is not reading the data. :gl:`#3200`
