	I think that you should be using 9.1.2 because it is a lot
	more stable than 9.1.0.  Also I don't want my time being
	wasted having to deal with errors that are already fixed
	and if you continue to run 9.1.0 you will hit one of these
	errors.

	BIND 9.1.0 tends to just log errors.  If things are going 
	correctly then nothing is logged.  Later versions log more
	though overall still a lot less than BIND 8.
