We are still using it here at MIT, and I know of a couple of other
sites using it.  But it hasn't really caught on, and I don't expect it
to.

It's not so much that it's dead as that it is simple enough that we
haven't found any bugs in it in ages.  We're still finding bugs in the
underlying BIND implementation, but the hesiod-specific code is pretty
clean.
