I received one response, which I've included below. The distribution for
BIND 9 didn't include any trucluster patches as BIND 8 did, and it appears
no one has done this yet.

It probably depends on your setup. Our primary DNS servers run on
different platforms, but we use the "ndc" command to manage named
everywhere. The stock Tru64 BIND install doesn't include the "ndc"
command, and instead of trying to build a version that would match, it
was easier (and better) to do a complete install of BIND. Also, that
way, I can jump on security updates (since HPAQ isn't always the
fastest at getting updates out).
