A year or so ago, I tried the then-current release versions of BIND 4
has been obsolete, dead for years
, BIND 8
same
, and BIND 9 for Windows
Bind 9.3.2 works well, ime.
, and all 3 were too buggy to be used. IIRC, BIND 4 would not
resolve reverse DNS entries in a timely fashion, BIND 8 would hang
every several times a day (and not be usable until restarted), and
BIND 9 would after a few hours start using 100% of the CPU time.
Again, BIND for Unix works flawlessly as far as I know, but the
Windows port just doesn't cut it.
I think the problem is that some windows machines are not stable
platforms due to mixed up version of dlls, apps messing with system
stuff they shouldn't be messing with, memory leaks, etc.
BIND can be very stable on most machines, but unstable on specific
machines. This situation is decreasing as the ISC people figure out
how to make BIND more immune to sick windows platforms.
