I'm using tinydns, which is one of about half a dozen tools in the djbdns quivver. Most commonly, you'd run tinydns and dnscache (on separate machines) to provide equivalent functionality to BIND (which combines the name server and resolver functionality into a single server). The split, apparently, was done for security and performance reasons.
