It's a pretty ugly solution, but it works. You just need to remember
you've done it.

Tell us more. Why are dnscache, unbound and pdnsd better than BIND?
Specifics please :-)

I'm pretty sure djbdns is still in Trusty though I have not actually
installed it:

kauer at karl:~$ apt-cache search djbdns
dbndns - Debian fork of djbdns, a collection of Domain Name System tools
djbdns - a collection of Domain Name System tools
dnscache-run - djbdns dnscache service

...and sundry dependencies on it/them.

Regards, K.
