When I wrote 'zero additional cost' in the conclusion I was referring to the price of the GTM license as DNS Express is already included with the GTM license. If BIND is serving zones in addition to GTM on the same box, DNS Express can receive zone transfers from BIND and serve DNS requests while on the same physical piece of hardware. DNS Express will provide better performance than BIND alone. I'll set it up in the lab when I get a chance, but I'm suspecting that the difference will be significant.
