Disk space isn't really an issue. The problem is that those old BIND 8 
commands are still in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, and since those two 
directories come before their /usr/local counterparts, when you type 
"nslookup" (or whatever), you'll get the BIND 8 version instead of the 
BIND 9 version. Sure I could go rename all of those BIND 8 versions and 
do something like put ".8" at the end of them or something. But I'd 
rather just get rid of BIND 8.

Thanks
