At an ISC Intro to DNS and BIND class, the instructor pointed out that if
you rely on the distro provided version of BIND, you are at the mercy of
the package maintainers to upgrade/patch versions of BIND. With Ubuntu
LTS (not sure about other distros), you are stuck at the same version of
bind until you upgrade your distro. For Ubuntu 8.04LTS which is still
supported, BIND is stuck at 9.4, which is no longer supported by ISC.
I am building/redesinging our DNS infrastructure and I am building BIND
from tarball. It's really quite easy. Plus, I can run the latest and
greatest version to get the best DNSSEC features.
