Cool.  Seems to work pretty well so far.

One thing - in the README, it says:

In order to use the module, you must make sure that the lightweight
resolver daemon `lwresd' (included in the BIND 9.1 snapshots, but absent
from the latest BIND 9.0 beta releases) is running.

lwresd in included in the latest BIND 9.0 beta, but is now the same binary
as named, and a link is made from named to lwresd during the build.  It
doesn't act as a name server, but shares a lot of internal code.
