The bind 9 windows port is the only one of interest since it's not obsolete.
There were problems with Bind9 under heavy usage until about 2-3 years ago
when they rewrote the windows sockets interface. The current version works
flawlessly under heavy usage and runs forever without restarting - at least
between MS system patches. Since you tried it a year 'or so' ago, give the
latest Bind 9 another try in your environment.

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.
