I was under the impression that BIND was what people used for the same 
reasons they still use Sendmail: they it know and it is well-tested and 
working (cf, "Legacy" thread also on GLLUG right now).  Are the newer 
DNS implementation truly not worth considering?  Have they not improved 
on anything?

I ask because after a short time struggling with Sendmail, I now find 
Postfix to be vastly VASTLY superior.
