Usually I've got bind running on most of my machines, but the simple
NAT router on this particular DSL line is not very helpful: it does not
forward EDNS (large UDP) packets, making bind fall back to TCP for a lot
of things.  So running the weekly mass-check with a local name server
generates an enormous amount of TCP connections that the router cannot
handle either, sending it crashing.  As a workaround, I specifically
deactivate the local bind installation for the weekly mass-check.

Should I rather skip running the weekly check while I'm stuck with
this router?
