I have it installed on my Sparcstation 5.  It ran 1.4.2 for months and
the upgrade to 1.5 was relatively smooth.  Picked up some decent
performance bennies in the move, probably due to the filesystem
speedups.

Not sure how similar, but since going to 1.5 I cannot keep dhcpd
running.  It seg faults after just a few seconds to a few minutes.
I had to write a shell script to restart it continuously until I can
find another solution.

My named seems to work, but I also have problems with it.  Not really
sure as it's not anything I can repeat.  It's just that sometimes it
will not answer queries.  No error, it just never answers.
