I like whatever works in regards to the situation I'm facing ;) We used BIND for years, but with hundreds of domains, I personally had to manage the zones, lest someone made a typo in a zone or a config file. I switched us over to DJBDNS a few years ago, simply for the ability to throw VegaDNS at it in order to provide a safe method to delegate domain management to other staff. Many of our servers are still BIND however. I prefer BIND myself. Some of the BIND servers slave for the djb servers, and others handle other tasks, particularly all of my zones with IPv6 records. > I'm a happy bind user for years now (and I use sendmail as well). I switched from sendmail to Qmail on our core MTAs for the same reasons stated above. At one point, I wrote CGI wrapper applications so staff could manage email accounts, but it just got too much. I standardized on Matt Simerson's Mail Toaster about 6 years ago, simply for the ease-of-management (ie I don't have to do it). To me, the product that is better is the one that removes me from having to use and manage it, and allows me to do other things ;) Steve
