I agree that bind9 is quite simple to get going (at least in debian).
Even chrooting it is quite painless (many of the redhat-oriented steps
in the howto can be skipped).

Technically this isn't true. A DNS server isn't required to store the
zones in the same format as bind. djbdns comes to mind, as (IIRC) it
stores the records as funkily named empty files in a certain
directory. This is not meant to start an ISC vs. DJB (vs. others)
war, but merely to point out that different systems can choose to have
a different admin interface.
