I'm sorry, I didn't make myself clear.  9.1 is secure, that's why I put
it in the tree.  However, looking at net-misc/bind, all the insecure
versions are still there.  I would like to move them to the Attic on the
CVS tree.

Now, I know that some people still have a preference for bind8 which is
why I was hoping that we could have a secure version of bind8 in the
tree as well.

Achim, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.  I just wanted a second
opinion and to make sure that it wasn't just me having problems with
bind8.
