It's got at least a few items out-of-date.  Which is OK, because it's
4th edition, and 5th edition is the most recent.  Let's see:

* bind-users is now also used for bind9

* bind9 now supports name checking.  I think that got added in 9.3.x.

* bind 9.4.x introduces changes to default ACL behavior,
  i.e. allow-recursion and allow-query-cached (new) are more
  restrictive than the old behavior.

* the logging stuff has gradually reappeared / is gradually
  reappearing.
