NetBSD rmkhome 1.5.4_ALPHA NetBSD 1.5.4_ALPHA (RMKHOME) #6: Wed Oct  9 20:54:17 MDT 2002     rmk@rmkhome:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/RMKHOME sparc

I've been running BIND-9.2.2rc1 and previous back to 9.1.0. The same box is
also my NTP server and main mail server. It's a SS5 with 64megs, but it used
to be 32megs. It has been solid as a rock since 1.5.2.
