Note that there's a big difference between BIND the resolver library and BIND 
the nameserver. What Haiku is currently using is only the resolver library 
and it doesn't really have any of the security issues of BIND the nameserver.
Also note that djbdns does not actually have a license which, iirc, makes it 
subject to standard copyright laws and that it does not support IPv6 (at 
least not without 3rd party patches).
