djbdns is one choice. You might also consider maradns or powerdns.
Neither of which I'm endorsing, I just know of them. maradns is meant to 
be secure, powerdns a more "commercial" product with actual support.
Also bind9 is fine! (Knock on wood).

Besides avoiding the "burn" what are your goals?
Interoperability
Security (as you stated)
Stability
Will it run on your platform/distribution (is RPM or DEB available?)
Esoteric requirements such as IPv6 and/or DNSSEC
(and a personal favorite)
Would you list it on your resume
