In some cases, running BIND on a web server is exactly what you'd want to be doing anyway for its caching function. If you're doing reverse lookups of IPs or something like that for your Apache logs (I'd recommend against that, BTW), then you'll save yourself a whole lot of DNS traffic by running a caching nameserver on the same machine as Apache.
For a mail server, this is an even better idea: mail servers almost always do reverse lookups on IP addresses to see if the PTR record matches what the sender provides in their EHLO. If you have 20k e-mails coming from Gmail, for example, no sense in doing the DNS lookup 20k times. Of course, you don't have to use BIND to get the benefits of a caching NS, but if you need to run BIND anyway....
