Nah - BIND 9 is decent.  Don't touch BIND 8 or BIND 4 with a very long 
pole, but 9 is a complete rewrite and they've done a good job.

That said, I've not used any of the other newer systems, but they don't 
have any features I want, and some of them add features I'd flee from 
(mysql integration!?!?!?!).
