I'd agree. It highlights the fact that you're better off picking a feature list and seeing who matches. On the basis of license/features Bind is hard to beat. On the basis of license && security it's hard to accept. Bind basically looks like this: [ ] Recursive resolution [ ] Caching only [ ] Authoritative server support [ ] DNSSEC [ ] Split horizon [ ] Response rate limiting (RRL) [ ] Clustering/replication [ ] Dynamic reloadability [ ] NXDOMAIN redirection [ ] BSD or acceptable License [ ] GeoIP [ ] Response policy zones [ ] Database support [ ] Written in C -Swift
