I got in touch with Atul and this is what he had to say on Bind -

Eeep! I hope you haven't left people with the wrong impression!
Bind in 6.1 is not broken. The way RH sets up your hosts file is
broken
(refer my FAQ), and it confuses my pcqupdt script.
Note, however, that bind in RHL 6.0 is *insecure* and is a major
security
hole. It was because of holes like these that we never put out an RHL
6.0
CD - as far as I remember, RH released three new versions of bind
before
they got it right, and just after that released RHL 6.1.
I recommend that anyone using bind should be running 8.2.2 or later
(RHL
6.1 ships with 8.2.2).
Note the difference between "broken" and "insecure" - "broken" implies
that it doesn't work at all (bind with 6.0 does work), "insecure"
means it
works but leaves the front door open.
