you can download source for the latest BIND (which already includes the
new delegation-only zone type which fixes the verisign lunacy) from the
following page, or directly from the ftp link:

http://isc.org/products/BIND/bind9-beta.html
ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.2.3rc2/bind-9.2.3rc2.tar.gz

If you are running QuickDNS 4.5.1 you probably installed BIND 8.3.6,
which came with it. A quick 'named -v' will tell you.

For the delegation-only zones, you'll add an entry like such:

zone "cc" {
type delegation-only;
};

You can download a this file:
http://www.clubneon.com/files/named.delegation-only
and include it in named.conf to make all current gTLD's behave
properly. But as Men and Mice pointed out, you can't yet use this with
QuickDNS. QuickDNS will try to startup, and will exit with this error
to your system.log file: (if you try, as I obviously did)

zone "com" - bailing out.

configuration.
