Speaking of which I just found (slightly older) Debian packages of
DJB's djbdns aka dnscache:
http://www.codepark.org/debian/
The various bits are spread around in different subdirectories. I'd
recommend against pointing your /etc/apt/sources.list file there as
their package versioning is a bit bum and comes out newer than what
are in fact new packages in the cannonical locations.
If I get a chance this week (I'm changing jobs again -- want do
lunch sometime this week before I move back to the other side of the
Bay?) I'll grab the source packages and roll fresh/updated copies
for 1.02 et al.
Some interesting patches and extentions out there too:

Which is expectable if you think about it. While message is going
to have some effect, it doesn't significantly affect resolution,
connection, or negotiation at all.

Aaah, you know my stance on this from the Mailman lists. I've no
interest in religious wars or zealotry, but then I also don't mind
poking them with a stick if I can also add some useful data.
