Hope you can find someone with a clue and sufficient authority to do

The current BIND-PE version is: Version 2.0 (SSL 9.6g) - December 4/2002 and
is not beta software. It installs very easy and works very well. Have
been using it for over a year without any problems and really speeds up Web
browsing.

Yes. The authors are Canadian and hang out a lot in the GRC newsgroups.
