I mean free software alternatives, notActually, the real question, is why are you still using bind at all? ISC screwed the pooch on this one big time... I wouldn't touch bind after this mess with a 10 foot pole.
DJB's stuff...
I've been trying out different configfiles now, but I'm not completely happy
with that and the packaging, therefore I haven't uploaded it yet.
I was also afraid that there was no interest, because bind9 is actually rather
good, there aren't many exploits up till now.
What's wrong with the packaging? I'll admit, I haven't looked at it yet. Out of all the contendors, Dents and MaraDNS looked the best, so I was thinking of packaging them for contribs myself. But if you've got more experience with it, then please feel free.
Quite frankly, I'd like to see another DNS server in main. We phased out wu-ftpd as the defacto FTP server with proftpd... I'd like to see something take the place of bind as well. If, for nothing else, then as a caching-nameserver so that BIND doesn't need to be installed at all.
