I wasn't pushing use of any appliance. I was saying that use of BIND on Linux and UNIX servers was a valid way of doing things. I noted we don't use any appliance here. I was responding to someone that seemed to imply my suggestion of using BIND on Linux wasn't a "real world" view. Not clear why you picked my comments rather than his to respond to as it makes it seem you thought I was suggesting appliances were the way to go which I most definitely was not.

ISC is open to suggestions, especially if they come with sponsorship in some form, as to how we can improve BIND and DHCP's usability and integration. With all due respect to those who bundle our protocol engines into their appliances or suites, we also cherish our direct relevance to the enterprise. If there's a way we should improve, please tell us, either on this mailing list, or in direct e-mail to me (which i'll summarize), or call me at my desk (+1 650 423 1301). -- Paul Vixie ---------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain privileged or confidential information and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
