Set up another server running djbdns. Keep your existing bind server running, and use axfr-get (I believe) to do a zone transfer. It will get all the info from your bind server and write it into the djbdns syntax. That's what I do to act as a secondary for my dad's DNS server... he runs bind as well (much to my annoyance). I have a cronjob running axfr-get on his zones, writing them to zone files on my machine, then rebuilding the data file.
over to djbdns???
I have a couple of mdk7.2 servers running bind that I want to upgrade to
mdk9.0 and was going to use bind9, but I am thinking djbdns is a better
solution.. but I know very little about it, and reading mr bernsteins notes
doesn't help much.. (I have toyed with both and found bind easier to setup,
but thats just because I'm used to it.. (I used to find sendmail easier then
postfix till I got used to it as well).
any tips?
This is djb's instructions on how to do it... once you get a little familiar with djbdns, it isn't that difficult to accomplish:

At any rate, it is well worth the little bit of frustration and learning curve to get it working. Took me a day of good head scratching to get it working, but I've never looked back.
