Good point. I don't know the exact details behind the work on
BIND 8.2.4 but I do know that BIND 8 won't be getting any new
features or even minor bug fixes, only major security-related bug
fixes.
This tells me that if there is any work at all going on with BIND
8.2.4 (which I recently heard there is), the odds are pretty good
that there is some sort of security flaw in it, and people would be
best served by upgrading to BINDv9 (9.1.1-REL is the latest I am
aware of).
