  But none of those domain names are even close to valid, and while I
didn't check each and every one, it didn't look like there were any
repeats.  How would that lead to info about cached queries?

  Are you seeing the same site I am?  <http://www.isc.org/>?  What browser?

  I can point to "Downloads" in the bar at the top, and a sub-bar pops
up including "BIND".  If I click that, I get a list of releases and
details, and a box on the right offering direct links to tarballs of
recent releases.  All done without JavaScript -- just CSS -- so even
if you've got JavaScript disabled by default (which I do), it should
work.  And if your browser doesn't even so CSS, the same links should
be at the bottom of the page.  Checked with Firefox 3.0.5, MSIE 6.0,
and Lynx 2.6.6rel.5.
