There are none security problems with Bind 8.1.X, and you should be running
the latest version which is: 8.2.2 pl5 (from http://www.ics.org/products/BIND

 
: 3) is there any documentation of the changes in a format I'll understand 
: <wry grin>?

Yea, the source code for bind :)

Actually try:

http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/docs/index.html

$TTL is just a shorthand way to add a default TTL to the rest of the entries
in the file, nice if you have hundreds of entries in a zone file, a bit
over kill if you have a 1 or 2 host zone file.
