 [[ long description of agonizing problems ]]

We had a great deal of trouble with stock DEC bind as well, filing
serveral SPRs and getting told "fixed in next release".  Get the bind
from gatekeeper.dec.com in ~ftp/pub/DEC/cra-bind.Z.  This is what we
use on our large nameserver at ITI (tho not 85+ domains!).  The
documentation included in it implies that DEC uses this bind for
their IP gateways and name servers rather than what comes with 3.X
or 4.X.
