Hello all.
Regarding the "critical mass": I'm the one who downloads BIND from XP box
and I do it just to set it up on internal Linux machine. The reason to use
XP as PC OS is company's policy and lack of money after all. :)
P. S.: I can not imagine any user of BIND to even try to run it from

I would think that a Internet-connected box that is severely
compromised (e.g., has malware running with maximal privileges) is

Internet directly (without a Firewall etc.).
In particular, such a box could be remote controlled to
Which we can assume is the reason Evan raised the question in the first place.

non-Windows) OS. Assuming that the BIND versions are patched up to date, of
course.
To be sure, all things must come to end, and XP support for
Yes, I suppose not every machine running BIND is connected to the
Internet. But how many are network inaccessible to every machine that
*is* connected to the Internet and might be compromised?
We run a local BIND for our LAN to avoid HOSTS files, but that same

One could argue the problem is Microsoft in general. Problem is people don't
take security seriously cause they don't think they could ever get compromised
or hacked. And then most of the ones who have already been compromised just
ignore the symptoms thinking their old end of life system is
