maybe not by ISC. but based on the success of BIND9, NSD, Knot, Unbound, Yadifa, and PowerDNS, i think we will see more implementations of DNS as time goes on. because, you guessed it, DNS is sexy. based on the fact that BIND 9.10 has a "map" file type that cuts startup time to "de minimis" or less even for large zones, in the same style long employed by NSD, i think it's safe to say that BIND9 did not need a total rewrite as much as i thought it did when i launched that project. see also: http://www.circleid.com/posts/20140430_wow_bind9_910_is_out_and_what_a_list_of_features/ having left ISC on July 1 2013 in a management buyout of the ISC Security business unit (now known as Farsight Security), i don't have any remaining say over what problems ISC decides to tackle. but i do notice that operators seem to have a love/hate relationship with code base diversity, and i do notice that some implementors want to work on a common management interface so they can configure their name service in a standard language or protocol, and then plug different servers into it. learning every new server's config syntax and log file format is a pain. so, maybe that's a good public benefit thing to work on that isn't yet-another-nameserver-implementation. vixie _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
