The bsdstats sample is rather small and obviously biased (towards people who would share their config, mostly). I was hoping for some usable data from the Open Resolver Project (http://openresolverproject.org/)but there is not much useful information for this purpose there either. It is also very unlikely a pool would result in any meaningful data... But here is an idea: Remove BIND from HEAD overnight and see how many will complain ;-) If nobody complains, don't put it back in. Daniel
