I haven't heard too much about BIND recently, although I do admit that it's
rather big. Still, it's always nice to discover that you desperately need
feature 'X', and then find out that BIND (or Sendmail, same idea) has it
ready for use. I'd probably still advice running BIND (in a sandbox if
possible). If you really don't want it, then my next piece of advice is to
avoid DJBDNS unless Open Source isn't particularly important to you, and you
know that you'll never need the features that DJB refuses to have
implemented.
