Hi guys!

I have a question. I want to have my own DNS server. The main reason
for this is to increase fault tolerance of my computer, make browsing
the Web and Internet faster and more enjoyable and have a local miror
of as much of the Internet as possible.

But I am lost as to what DNS server I should put.

For now, I want to run the server on my computer, serving only my
computer. I will firewall it from the rest of the world. Later, when I
move to my own place, I want it to run on a dedicated "master of the
network" machine, serving the whole home.

I was originaly going to go with BIND, but I have cold feet now because
of it's many security holes, the ones they still keep discovering all
the time. Also, I would kind-of like to avoid reading a huge manual to
set it up in a simple enviroment like this.

Do you have any sugestions for a program which would fit my bill? I am
going through Wikipedia, looking for interesting picks, and there are a
few, but I would like to hear some real-world experience first.

The number one priority is security, even though it will not be
available to the public. The number two priority is hackability - I
want to be able to fix it to suit my needs.

Ideas?
