Ive heard of many peoples RaQ's getting hacked via BIND...is this true?

I'd love to run DNS on my RaQ but not if the version thats on it is insecure (even after applying cobalt patches)

Any help and I would be greatful, Thanks in advance!

Just make sure that you install the patches, and do not leave it stock, and you should be fine. We used it for a long time before we had to go to a more commercial grade type system that would handle 100+ requests per second.

I do believe that the patch just make bind run as user 'named' and group 'named' instead of running as 'root'
