Have you looked at maradns?  The author claims it's faster than both bind and 
djbdns (http://www.maradns.org/speed.comparison.html).  I tried it briefly a 
year ago and didn't run into major issues, granted the situation was low 
load.  MaraDNS can work as both an authoritative and a caching server.

At the time I didn't feel the burning desire to dump bind so I've stayed with 
the status quo so far.  maradns is packaged for debian.
