No, I'm sure it was a configuration problem. It's just funny how
people embrace "designer software" and are closed to solutions
that work at least as well or better. In the case of BIND 9,
people probably think "Gee, I have to generate encryption keys to
get it to work. This must mean that this baby is really secure",
when the reality is that it provides little, if any improvement
and simpler techniques can provide the same or better functionality.
