the *nix world BIND, the standard DNS server, has been kind of
susceptible to security issues.  Obviously this wouldn't be the case on
an iSeries.

Except for the fact the iSeries runs BIND too. Bind 8 in fact so it's a bit behind the *nix world. I'm not saying don't do it by any means because I do it frequently. For many customers it's the internal only DNS but for some it's on-line-live. We have not had any issues with them being compromised or attacked from the outside.
