No. BIND4 is dead, dead, dead. No matter what OS you run it on or what
compiler you use, dead code is still dead. Even the UNIX vendors have
pretty much stopped abandoned BIND4. They no longer ship it with their
OS. If you're happy running dead code, then carry on. It's your choice
and your systems after all. I wouldn't recommend it. Far too many
things are broken or badly implemented in BIND4.

    Robert> udp checksum weren't enabled in the kernel:

Sheesh! We're in a time warp back to the days when Reagan was in the
White House and Sun shipped kernels with UDP checksumming switched
off. That Berlin Wall will never come down... :-)
