No IXFR, no automatic notification of bind slaves (you get to run a
separate notify script) ...

But yes, it is far easier to use, consumes very low amounts of memory
and makes an excellent local resolver cache e&oe no roundrobin DNS
without a patch (as in it returns all the A records in the same order
every time, whereas bind does this in a different order ...)

No v6 support without a patch either 

Oh yes, patch, patch ... welcome to patching hell if you run qmail or
any other djb ware :)
