What FUD?

http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache-bind-2.html says:

Before you upgrade from BIND, you will have to put these two different
functions on different IP addresses, as explained here.

As this server serves only my house, I'm not in the least bit concerned
about cache-poisoning on it, unless/until my kids start trying to crack
it. ;)

I now have the details on running tinydns and dnscache together, but
will stay with BIND anyway, as I'm not comfortable with a number of
aspects of tinydns.

As in Gates - recent versions of his Op Sys (sic) insist on querying using TCP....
