The patch for the issues from 9.3.5 to 9.3.5-P1 (minus win32 and doc) 
applies fine to your HEAD contrib/bind-9.3 (which is 9.3.4-P1) other than 
a few RCS ident conflicts.

The original patch is on pkgbox at /home/reed/9.3.5-P1.patch and the 
updated src is at /home/reed/dragonfly/src/contrib/bind-9.3/

I am doing a test build now on HEAD. Should I be testing with a specific 
tag?

I have tested the security fixes on DragonFly a few times (watching random 
source ports) but not built from DragonFly source yet.
