Without bothering to get into whether or not Bind or djbdns is better or
worse than the other, or whether or not Bind is still the reference
implementation of DNS, or point out that the author of djbdns violates
about half the RFCs in favor of his own ideas, i'll just point out
that...

We're talking about Cobalt RaQs.  Using djbdns on RaQs will seriously
break the DNS management gui.
