Below is a copy of my original post with answers inline -

How do I determine which version of BIND is being
run on Solaris V2.5.1 with a fairly recent patch set?

Wales Wong provided this clever solution.

nslookup -class=chaos -q=txt version.bind.
If this can't work, try
        strings in.named | grep "(#)named"

If I decide that it is worthwhile, where would I find
off the 'Net the latest version of BIND?

Karl Vogel among others replied with the info below -

     BIND source code:
          ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.1.1/bind-contrib.tar.gz
          ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.1.1/bind-doc.tar.gz
          ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/src/8.1.1/bind-src.tar.gz

     Binaries:
          http://smc.vnet.net/solaris_2.5_nof.html

Where might I find a fairly recent version of SPARC
binaries for both sendmail & bind for V2.5.1?
(I'm lazy and have more to do than time to do it all.)

A number of folks pointed me at -

www.sendmail.org

However I never did find binaries for either of these.
