What for? BIND will eat megs of my precious memory for what? Storing info
that I do not need when I'm disconnected and which is avalible immediately
when I'm connected? 

About dialup triggering - so configure your diald or whatever not to
bother with those requests. Installing BIND just for it seems to me a bit
of overkill.

I'm not talking here of security risk of running unneeded service - more
services means more risk, as the security is determined by weakest
component.
