You set "reply-to:" to be the list -- are you sure you wanted to do that
for an explicilty "OT" post? I'll honour it, but I probably shouldn't.

Personally I still would rather risk using BIND-8 as a cache-only server
than anything else.

Primarily that's because of the very mature diagnostic and debugging
support in BIND-8. It tracks the source of all cached RRs (and writes
those as comments in the cache dump) and had tremendous logging and
tracing facilities. Not even BIND-9 can do such wonderful things yet.

Note I try to never mix authoritative services and caching services on
the same nameserver, especially not with BIND-8.
