Greg, I appreciate your advice, and I would love to stay with the
debian packages. However, I also want to be able to use a debian
installation a long time and I see lots of changes on dns resource
records.  Also, I don't like to rush into debian version updates, so I
fear the package bind9 might slip behind current standards.

I don't mind source updates--I already do that with openssl, apache,
postfix, and mailman.

Your bind9 service file is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
