Well, it is in pkgsrc. :-)

I've been running BIND 9 at rmkhome.com since sometime in 2001. I'm
now running 9.2.2 on a SS5 running 1.5.4_ALPHA.

While I'm not running any huge zones, it basically just works for me,
without surprises.

Which means basically security fixes. In terms of performance or features,
Bind 8 is as good as it is going to get.

It's probably better to do MAPS RBL through BGP than through DNS.
