The default for 8.1.1 install is to put the libs and such in /usr/local, and leave the resolver library you have in place intact.

I run an 8.1.1 nameserver on a -Stable machine and haven't had a problem. > I also notice the install seems dummied out in the BIND makefile, > any idea why? I don't know what you mean here.
