For some options 2 or 3 wont work. Option one will be preferred by me,
or at least by hp-ux 10.26 (Trusted CMW). For our developer machines
installing a new bind isn't a really big deal. So what. The problem
is the installing it on fielded machines, which is a much bigger deal.
It takes time, and probably wont be approved (regardless of the need by
openssh).
