    YEP, and it is VERY OLD HISTORY, but it goes back 3 years.

    So what's your gripe about security vulnerabilities in BIND since early 2001?

    If you don't have any concrete, recent examples, then stop the FUD.

    There are reasons some people don't want to use BIND, but security isn't
    one of them.
