bzzt wrong thanks for playing.

OpenBSD 2.6 ships with bind 4 installed, you can install bind 8 from
/usr/ports if you wish to give up security, but the default installed
version is still 4:

named[29409]: starting.  named 4.9.7-REL Thu May 21 19:27:54 1998

$ uname -mrs
OpenBSD 2.6 i386
$

i am not sure about 2.7 but i doubt its any different.
