A) Why do you assume an exploit at all? Hopefully you understand that 
the vast majority of software crashes in the world are triggered by 
benign transactions.

B) From the www.isc.org website:

"BIND 9.4-ESV-R1 is now available. BIND 9.4-ESV-R1 is revision 1 of the 
extended release version for BIND 9.4. It is recommended that all BIND 
9.4.x users upgrade to BIND 9.4-ESV-R1."

If you have to upgrade anyway, but you're going to stick with 9.4.x, why 
would you try to "get away with" running something older and 
less-recommended in that generation of BIND 9 than 9.4-ESV-R1?

                                                                         
                                             - Kevin
