I just received a security notice about a really nasty worm that is
using a hole in bind to infect Linux boxes.

So, it seems like a Good Idea to upgrade my copy of bind (:-). I
pulled down the port for bind-8.2.3-REL and it seems to build just
fine. Before I install it, however, I thought I'd ask if anyone
has run into installation and/or configuration issues.
