See 6.8.3.2 and 6.8.3.2.1.

This has also come up previously in this list. In fairness, it should
also be noted that "which may not have been subject to quite the same
level of scrutiny" means from the OpenBSD team. djbdns has been
audited by DJB (and, I assume, others). BIND9 is a complete re-write,
with security in mind.

It's a question of what you're comfortable with, and what features
you need.
