BIND doesn't really care at all about the differences since it's not
dependant on them.  There are some performance/tuning differences
but they wouldn't make much of a difference for BIND. In fact when
you take into account the cost differences between Server and Pro,
you'd be better off just buying a faster processor and more memory
for a lot less money.
