Ick.

I went to Vixie's advanced DNS & BIND course at LISA last week. He
basicly said that anyone still running 4.* was in serious trouble.

Only known actively exploited serious security problems are being
fixed in the bind 4.9.* tree :/

(of course this was just before half a dozen of us sat in the bar
with wavelan cards upgrading to 8.2.2pl4 because of security
problems :/)

On the upside, bind 9 is a completly from scratch rewrite and there
should be a public beta in a few months. I don't know about the
licensing, though.
