Quite the opposite. dnsseed data rotates through a lot of addresses
if available. Using the bind/zone-xfer system would result in fewer
total addresses going through to the clients, thanks to the addition
of caching levels that the bind/zone-xfer system brings.

That said, if the choice is between no-service and bind, bind it is ;p
