Some data you might consider supplying to the list is the linux distribution
on your new server, if you have a DNS Server preference, and a ballpark of
how many hosts are in your file entries.

Have you considered setting up ip aliasing and being your own secondary?
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/IP-Alias/ That is what I do with tinydns. I
suppose it depends on whether or not you need enough fault tolerance and
redundancy to support a complete failover to a secondary site... I.e., why
you have the new server in the first place.

You might consider tinydns: http://www.lifewithdjbdns.org/. It is simpler,
more secure, and an order-of-magnitude easier to configure than Bind.
Perhaps you're farming this out simply as a matter of time commitments, but
any reasonably technical person having never seen it before should be able
to read the docs and get djbdns up and running in an hour or two.
