  I also have a NetBSD DNS server.  It is running 1.0 (with patches).  
Currently its uptime is 28 days.  Last downtime was to add more RAM.  

  The named process now consumes 10588K and has been running since Jun 9, 
so it seems to be handling a fair number of requests, but I don't have 
stats enabled.
