At an ISC Intro to DNS and BIND class, the instructor pointed out that if you rely on the distro provided version of BIND, you are at the mercy of the package maintainers to upgrade/patch versions of BIND. With Ubuntu LTS (not sure about other distros), you are stuck at the same version of bind until you upgrade your distro. For Ubuntu 8.04LTS which is still supported, BIND is stuck at 9.4, which is no longer supported by ISC. I am building/redesinging our DNS infrastructure and I am building BIND from tarball. It's really quite easy. Plus, I can run the latest and greatest version to get the best DNSSEC features.
