There are two "production level" BIND's at the moment: Version 4 and
Version 8. 

Version 4 is the last "traditional" BIND -- the one everybody on the
Internet runs, except a few hundred sites running... 

Version 8, which has been called "BIND-ng" (Next Generation).  We use
BIND-8.1 on our root name server and all of our production (primary,
secondary, and recursive) servers.
