Yes, both 4.9.6 and 8.1.1 are out now. They both fix the phony injection
problem shown by http://apostols.org/toolz/dnshack.cgi.

I'm running 8.1.1 on my home machine and several (non FreeBSD) machines at
work, and 8.1.1 works just great. I still think that it's a bit early to
import it as the standard FreeBSD named. If you were to do this, I think
you'd need to include as a minimum a big WARNING that the configuration
file has changed dramatically, and an automatic conversion of any existing
named.boot files. (Yes, I know named-bootconf.pl exists - but it's not run
automatically as part of the installation.)
