We use Linux running Bind and Admin using Webmin. Both are Pro200 with 128mb
ram and 4gb drives
I cannot remember the last time I rebooted the boxes or had a problem with
DNS other than the idiot between the seat and keyboard mis-typing things
We did run MS-DNS on W2K and if the box is a PDC and if you do not use
MS-DNS as a root server for the AD tree then the DNS Event log fills with
errors on dynamic directory updates because it's not a root for the tree.
Real pain in the !@#@#
