Alternatives to bind

FWIW, here's my DNS history over the last two years.  Starting with...

Bind compiled from upstream, which worked for a few months until idiotic security issues
convinced me to move on so I decided to try 

mydns which is neat and super easy to configure (if you're familiar with SQL) but development
kind of fell apart so I went back to

Bind installed by the distro because, shoot, that should insulate me from all the idiotic
security issues but when I found myself writing scripts to try to wrestle with the mess of
creepy config files I bounced to 

MaraDNS.  Love it.  If Mara didn't make me happy, I was going to try NSD and PowerDNS in that
order.  But, so far, Mara has been making me happy.
