This got me to thinking... there's no reason a centralized,
automated database would need to be "yea/nay". Perhaps it's time
for a "vulnerability info" RRTYPE. Of course, DNS might not be
the protocol of choice; focus on concept and ignore details. ;-)
One of the fields could be severity. Let minor things be logged,
moderate troubles cause nagging, and major issues (e.g., worm
spreading via known exploit) trigger a shutdown.
Note that BIND could be written so any given instantiation knows
what subsystems (TSIG, recursive queries, etc.) it's actually
using.
