  You're preaching to the choir with that one, Kurt...BIND4 works,
sure...but BIND8 is *SO* much better...sane config file format, much
more configurable, much better under load...I'm definitely not talking
about running BIND8 simply because it's newer.  Moving Digex from
BIND4 to BIND8 made my life a *lot* easier.
