how can I use nsd (the most recent version possible) in subj?
there is backport on
http://apt.heanet.ie/dists/stable/contrib/binary-i386/net/, but a bit
outdated (1.2.0)
is it sufficiently secure/stable to be used in production system?

thanks in advance

The current stable release is NSD 1.2.3, differences with 1.2.0
are minor, see http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/index.html for an
exact specification of these changes. NSD 1.2.3 is currently
adviced for production usage.

The releases > 1.2.x are alpha releases with major code-changes in
preparation for 2.0.0 (with DNSSEC support), and are not meant for
production use.

We are currently using that package quite succesfully and will probably
be updating it to the latest 1.2.x release once I finish writing a
module to handle NOTIFY messages.
