  | 	i propose to switch to BIND9 once BIND 9.2.2 gets released.

  | 	issues:
  | 	- should we install any of the headers/libraries shipped with BIND9
  | 	  into /usr/lib, /usr/include or whatever?  i bet we don't need to.
  | 	- there's no way to disable DNSSEC (= crypto) portion, it seems.
  | 	  we may need to disable the whole bind9 tree if MKCRYPTO=no.

Other issues:
	- what are the upgrade issues for people running bind8 ?
	- what other pros / cons are there of bind9 over 8 ?
