    That is a real possibility.  I am not familiar with what OpenBSD did but
    if their config file is compatible with or sufficiently close to or has
    the same functionality as ISC's, then we should probably import it.
    I trust code worked over by OpenBSD a lot more then I trust code from 
    other sources.
