If you want security now and in future, it's best to stick with distro provided apps and packages. Staying within distro packages means that there is official support for bug fixes, and any updates are a simple yum/apt update away. You can also take advantage of the quality testing that distros put together. If you install 3rd party packages, how will you ensure that you stay current with future bug fixes and who's providing you the quality assurance? After all isn't this why you are paying Red Hat? I've used djbdns, etc briefly, but never saw the appeal. I run bind9 on CentOS today without any issues. bind is the defacto DNS server out there, it's widely available on several unix platforms, it's well supported, and exceptionally well documented. RHEL 5 supports bind9. I suggest you try it before you switch. - Raja _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
