Kind of like Imail - not ready for Windows? Only it doesn't work in
Unix....or Windows either.

BIND is great for Unix, but isn't ready for Windows yet.  If faced with the
choice, I would choose Microsoft DNS over BIND (in reality, my choice is
paying for a good DNS program).

A year or so ago, I tried the then-current release versions of BIND 4, BIND
8, and BIND 9 for Windows, and all 3 were too buggy to be used. 
IIRC, BIND 4 would not resolve reverse DNS entries in a timely fashion, BIND
8 would hang every several times a day (and not be usable until restarted),
and BIND 9 would after a few hours start using 100% of the CPU time.

Again, BIND for Unix works flawlessly as far as I know, but the Windows port
just doesn't cut it.
