Bind 9 Port

[cp]

I was planning to ask opinions on this tonight even
before I saw the discussion on Bind 8. I'm preparing
a old box for Internal, Caching and an unrelated 
primary master. The security warnings at FreeBSD.org
seemed quite clear that I should not use Bind 8 due
to 3 flaws that can be exploited if recursion is turned 
on (such as would be necessary when running caching).
At ISC, it stated that Bind 8 should be used only for
experimentation or some such warning. I started to 
realize that my setup work thus far was moot.

Running 5.0 January, I went to my ports disk and pulled
Bind 9 which would not install at all. I went to ISC and
pulled the binary versions which were incompatible with
a crypto lib. I checked google and saw nothing specific
on the issue. It's either pull the Bind 9 source, 
compile.and possibly hold off implementation for another
series of tests or do something else.

Before I go any further with 5.0, is it most appropriate
to use FreeBSD 4.8 STABLE April with the Bind 9.2.2
binary from ISC? I just want know it works or if there
is a better combination that is secure and functional?
