	Good, because Solaris 2.6 has major problems with threading, 
amongst many other things.

	See below.

	Yup.

	The best thing I can suggest is to read the article "Upgrading to 
BIND 9:  The Top Nine Gotchas" at 
<http://sysadmin.oreilly.com/news/dnsandbind_0401.html>, read the 
BIND 9 Administrators Reference Manual at 
<http://www.nominum.com/resources/documentation/Bv9ARM.pdf>, the BIND 
FAQs at <http://www.nominum.com/resources/faqs/bind-faqs.html>, and 
fourth edition of the book _DNS and BIND_ by Paul Albitz & Cricket 
Liu, published by O'Reilly & Assoc. (available via the page at 
<http://www.dns.net/dnsrd/books.html>).
