    Check again !

    From http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/bind-security.html

    "ISC has discovered or has been notified of several bugs which can
    result in vulnerabilities of varying levels of severity in
    BIND as distributed by ISC. Upgrading to BIND version 9.1 is
    strongly recommended. If that is not possible for your site,
    upgrading at least to BIND version 8.2.3 is imperative."
