	It should be perfectly safe to use in all environments, short of 
a root nameserver-like situation where your machines will have to 
answer 2000-5000 DNS queries per second.

	If you're feeling conservative, and don't want to run any code 
that is not also running on the root nameservers, then you'd choose 
8.2.3-REL for the moment.  I would anticipate that within the next 
few months, the last few performance issues with BINDv9 will be 
resolved, and it will likely be in use on all or most of the root 
nameservers in short order.
