I, too, share the concerns about stability of a newer version. To me, though, that means I feel not yet ready for the 9.x versions of BIND (especially the earlier 9.x versions came with quite a few quirks); but I trust the 8.3.3 and higher versions. I see a parallel with the development of MySQL, for instance. Though its developers were long since at 4.x, they still kept working on the 3.x branch. So, I am running the latest installment of the 3.x series. And my thinking for BIND was the same: I continue to have an eye on the 9.x versions, but, for now, only seek to install the most stable version of the 3.x branch. And since the developers of both BIND and MySQL still work on refining the earlier branches, I guess they can follow, at least part of, my reasoning. - Mark
