This document was written using BIND 8 (specifically 8.2.2-p5). It is possible that some of it's recommendations will not work for any version earlier than 8.2.2-p5. It would also be wise to not use any versions of BIND earlier than 8.2.2-p5. The reasoning behind this statement is that BIND has had security issues that result in total compromise of machines that host it, and Denial of Service attacks that prevent the name server from answering queries. At the time of writing there were seven known vulnerabilities in pre 8.2.2 versions of BIND, and a vulnerability in the way DNS is deployed that affects BIND 8.2.2 when you change your nameserver from one ip address to another.
