My apologies if this thread has hit a nerve, I wasn't picking at anyone.
I'm
just giving my point of view.

The history may be old in terms of computing, but I won't how many
vulnerable systems are still out there? System admins that may not even
know
how to upgrade or even know that the vulns exist.

bind advisories:
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-19.html
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-02.html
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-1999-14.html

Plus http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind-security.html isn't a very
good
track record is it? Track records are pretty much all you have to go on
with
software, unless you audit all the code yourself.

If people want to use bind or any other package, they do so at their
choice.
I'm just saying in my opinion I think there are better alternative.

If you're happy using bind, use bind. If you're happy with windows 95,
use
it.

Simon
