( Anthony's TLD, 'mp', now uses PowerDNS )
Of the 258 TLDs at the moment, 245 of them use BIND for one or more of
their listed nameservers, leaving 13 that don't use BIND at all.
As of last night, here are the easily-detectable nameserver versions and
the count of TLDs in which they are used. The popularity of BIND may be
of small interest to the bind-users list.

( Note that a given nameserver may serve multiple TLDs, and a small number
of nameservers were not able to be detected by Roy's tool. )
