nothing overwhelming to upgrade for.  the database "veiw" is great, but if 
you donīt use it...

>are there good reasons NOT to?

there are some items in BIND8 that arenīt in BIND9.  Again, no big deal.

>bind 9?

If your zone files are ok under 8.2.3, then they will be ok under 
9.1.2.  zone file syntax checking is more rigorous in BIND9.

named.conf change a little.  again, no big deal.  itīs pretty much a wash.

DL BIND9 source pkg and read the migration notes and judge for yourself.
